What this episode covers

There is no nationwide tracking mechanism for physical attacks on teachers in American classrooms. But a 2018 survey suggests that more than 210,000 of them are in fact attacked each year. In one school district in New Hampshire, it led the union president to push for statewide change and a new law -- but that came at a personal price.
