blackboard jungle

1. Schools viewed as a broad group or category. The term implies that they have many pitfalls and difficulties. After working in the blackboard jungle for 20 years, retirement is much more appealing than continuing to teach multiplication tables. I don't particularly like kids, so I have no interest in joining the blackboard jungle. If you thought the blackboard jungle was nightmarish as a teacher, you'd never make it as an administrator.
2. A school in which the students are particularly unruly. Teachers keep quitting because that school is a blackboard jungle. You have a good chance of being physically harmed if you teach there. There are some sweet students I don't want to leave behind, but I just cannot do another year in that blackboard jungle. Please, you teach in a private school, not the blackboard jungle. You have no idea what we go through as teachers in the public schools in this part of town.
