Story 1:
A 15-year-old girl punched her teacher 10 times in the face and chest Tuesday morning after the teacher tried to take her cell phone away, police and MPS officials said.
A stricter ban on cell phones went into effect last month in Milwaukee Public Schools after several students used their phones to call outsiders to participate in fights.
Police said the student at Fritsche Middle School's LEAP program was talking on the phone during class when the teacher, a 54-year-old female, tried to confiscate it.
She wound up with a "chipped tooth and pain and redness in the face," an MPS spokeswoman said.

Story 2:
Another Philadelphia schoolteacher has been the victim of a vicious attack by students.
Joseph Smith, a teacher at the Deburgos School in North Philadelphia, said on Thursday he was attacked by a 14-year-old girl.
"Our kids have no belief and respect, no respect. There's no respect for authority," Smith said.
He was attacked after he said a 14-year-old female student grabbed a classroom phone to make prank calls and refused to stop. Smith said the girl hit him with the telephone and then hit him again with a dictionary, before more students joined in on the attack.
The attack comes a week after a Germantown High School teacher had his neck broken allegedly by two students.
Another teacher told NBC 10 News that his jaw was broken by a student at West Philadelphia High School in November.
The beatings come as a new report on violence in Philadelphia schools is released.
