Teacher Loses Eye After Student Stabs Her

2008_1_21.elgin.jpgAn Elgin high school teacher was stabbed in the neck and face by a student Friday morning. Carolyn Gilbert, a family and consumer sciences teacher, lost her eye after the 16-year-old stabbed her with a steak knife.

According to witnesses, a male teacher entered the room during the attack and intervened, ending the attack. After which, witnesses said Gilbert cried, "my eye, my eye."

Yeah, we bet she did. You know. Because she was stabbed in it.

There were 2,523 reports of aggravated assault/battery against school personnel in Illinois in 2006. [S-T]

Puppy chaser. And again. One more for good measure.

You know what that school needs? Tom Berenger.

Fuck that. My office needs Tom Berenger more. Where would the world be without the acting prowess that is one Thomas Michael Bere-- wait what? His real last name is "Moore"? Fuck you IMDB.

The puppy chaser just depresses me even further because I can't see an ad for an adoptable dog without having to fight an urge to bring them home.

That and spook hates them. Or so I heard...

So...I guess that means no more fun and games?
