An 18-year-old student smashed his teacher\u2019s head onto concrete so hard she almost died. She will never teach again. He went home. Outrage exploded online as details emerged: the \u201cragdoll\u201d impact, the blood, the scar, the nightmares \u2013 and then, no prison. Just supervision. Just curfews.
