Teacher Janice Watkins was brutally and viciously attacked by both parent and child all for daring to a hardline school policy against cellphone use by students. Janice Watkins is a 4th-grade teacher at Pittsburgh King PreK-8 School located on the North Side of Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania.
The school has a strict no-cellphone policy and as a result when Watkins saw a 4th-grade female student with a cellphone in her possession during the school day? Watkins enforced the school’s policy and confiscated the cellphone. In return, that 4th-grade student responded by biting Watkins.
“There was another teacher who was trying to get the cell phone. The little girl ran away from her, and my wife was run into and grabbed the phone off of the little girl, saying that she was going to take the phone to the office as per their procedure. And the little girl immediately starting cursing at her and bit her on her arm.”
