****Bill Would Allow Teachers To Use Force In Classroom.
(Supporters Say Teachers Need To Be Able To Get Students Under Control.)
CONCORD, N.H. -- In a move to give teachers more control over classroom discipline, a bill is being debated in Concord that would protect teachers from civil or criminal penalties if they use physical force.
Some said the bill goes too far, while supporters call it a matter of teacher and student safety.
Supporters of the bill said some teachers feel powerless when confronted by aggressive students because of fears of being sued or arrested. HB 375 would give teachers and school staff civil and criminal immunity should physical action be required to get a student under control.
Sponsors pointed to an incident in February in which a Nashua High School teacher needed stitches after being hit in the face with a metal hole-punch by a 16-year-old student. In accordance with school policy, the teacher called resource officers rather than restrain the student, who fled school grounds.
"These teachers now are basically in a war zone, and not only does it protect them, it protects other students," said Rep. Pete Silva, R-Nashua. "I just think it brings common sense into what's going on."
But others said the bill doesn't go far enough in terms of drawing the lines between the use of physical force and assault. Rep. Peter Schmidt, D-Dover, a former teacher who said he is in favor of school discipline, said he couldn't support the bill as written.
"I think this going to require a lot of special training for teachers because now they will be cast into the role of enforcers," he said. "That really poses serious issues with regards to how far they can go."
The bill passed committee with a unanimous vote, and it will now be considered by the full House.

****California mother arrested for encouraging son to fight!
(CNN) -- A California mother was arrested this week after she was captured on video encouraging her son to pummel another boy, police said.
The woman can be heard yelling "Beat him down. Body slam him," as the two boys swing wildly at each other in the scuffle that leaves one bloody.
At one point in the video, circulated on the internet, the woman offers pointers to her son on how to win the fight. She also assures the combatants they have permission to fight in her yard and that she will not call the police.
Police say they have arrested the woman, identifying her as Jennifer Zuniga, 33, of the central California city of Ceres.
She faces child endangerment and contributing to the delinquency of a minor charges, police said.
"Jennifer can be heard and seen in the video yelling and encouraging her son to batter the other juvenile. Jennifer is heard yelling a barrage of profanities and enticing the fight," Ceres Police said in a statement.
The video was posted on YouTube and police say they learned about it from a tipster.
Police also credited a man who witnessed the fight and can be seen on the video stopping it.
"This man (challenges) Jennifer Zuniga's actions and stopped the assault before someone was seriously injured," the police statement said.
At the end of the video, the man is seen getting in between the brawling boys.
"Lady, you're letting them fight like this? What kind of example are you, lady?" the man asks.
"I don't care," the woman replies.
