More assaulted teachers come forward

After Waverly Middle School art teacher Julia Gumminger, who quit Monday after twice being assaulted by students, came forward with her story in Wednesday?s Examiner, she heard from Mayor Sheila Dixon?s office, the Baltimore Teachers Union, several media outlets and one college classmate.

She is pleased that the crisis of student-on-teacher assaults in Baltimore schools is coming to light and that other teachers are speaking out, but she?s also disappointed in the focus of the attention.
