my kids go to south high and they say that mr.capetto is a very nice teacher. the kids in south high are out of control. they lack morals, value of ones life, and just plain old compassion. if i knew a solution for those kids for their frustration and whatever they might be going through, i would be there to help them in a heartbeat. i wish i knew. it saddens me  to see our youth fighting over this that don't mean much of nothing.  get a clue.

This is a sad, scary situation. My niece graduates this spring with her teaching degree. Along with college diplomas they need to assign body gaurds for these teachers.
I don't know what the answer is.

I'm hearing ya shawty... I worked over there last summer and those kids were SO disrespectful... they were making a ton of racial comments to the workers (us) and throwing books and papers on the school yard. It started to ran and I'm assuming it was the principal or another higher up, made those kids go out in the rain and pick everything up. Here we were there trying to make theirs school nicer for them. I feel terrible for this injured man.

not all of the kids are bad .but, there are some that are. i hear the kids will fight over where the kids live in the city . like a turf war. which is so stupid. why represent something that really has no meaning. i would like to hear the kids reprsenting something positive. there is a lady on a tv show from cleveland.make me a supermodel. now that is representation. the kids need an outlet. something positive.

I hate to say it but it all starts at home. If the kids are allowed to be disrespectful to adults (incl. their parents), they will be disrespectful to teachers and administrators as well. I know it is easy to say it is the parents' fault, but the fact of the matter is there are far too many parents out there who either don't care or try to be their kids' best friends instead of parents. Respect is one of the most important lessons that kids need to learn -- if they don't learn it at home, where will they learn it?

I graduated from South High school in 1998 and I had Mr Capetto as my accounting teacher. He was such a nice man. He wanted the kids at the school to excell and make goals for the future. Mr. Capetteo was so involved in everyhting when I was there. He took all the pictures for sports, cheerleading and student group activites. He was a model teacher.

When I went to South it begun to take a turn for the worst my senior year. There was a huge riot and the school was locked down for most of the day. The was one of the scariest days of my life. I think that the violence issues in the Cleveland Public School System needs to be addressed ASAP. This is not a new issue and it is not going to go away on its own.

Did you see the woman interviewed as a spokeswoman for the district? She proceeded to say there was no violence problem ... right there on camera. If that isn't a violence problem, I'm not sure what is.

My daughter teaches in the Cleveland area. I fear for her life as there is frequent violence in her school also. It's a widespread problem that is kept quiet. I'm appalled that the district spokeswoman can deny that there is a violence problem with such conviction. Teachers have to deal with this sort of violence on a daily basis - because it is not dealt with at home or in the courts. Something needs to be done!

what is the solution to the teen violence

I think the long-term solution to the violence is holding a child and/or parent responsible for their own actions. I'm not sure what the short-term answer is.

rjl...yes!! I saw that woman and almost choked on my breakfast. What a slap in the face to the injured teacher and his family. She had the audasity to say there is no violent threat and that they want the teachers to feel safe...ARE YOU FREAKIN KIDDING ME!! That woman has serious issues because even that little ghetto girl they interviewed said there were rival "cliques" let's be real they are gangs, always fighting, and that is a safe enviornment??? I think not. That woman needs to be fired!

My heartfelt prayers go out to Mr. Cappeto and his family, his wife was on the news this morning and said that if he moves his head the wrong way he could be paralized. How terrifing is that. I hope that he has a full recovery and no permanant damage from this incident.
