Tonight, Dr. Phil will hear from teachers on the front lines and learn what they claim is behind a surge in student aggression and misconduct toward teachers. First, Dr. Phil will speak with Sheryl, a high school teacher, who says she came out of retirement because she loved teaching, but that all changed after she claims a student left her battered and bruised. Then, we speak with Tiwana, a high school teacher who says it's been over a year since she's been physically and emotionally able to return to the classroom after a violent student altercation. Dr. Phil will also speak with Steve, a high school teacher, who says the emotional trauma from being punched in the face by a student, has made his return to the classroom very tough to do.
