The guy snapped, grabbed a metal weight thingy and started smashing one of the most annoying ones in the head screaming "die!". Kids can often bully teachers terribly. In this case the student just got hit a few times while the teacher lost their career and marketable skill. I have more sympathy for the teacher. So you'd be okay with me physically beating your child if he showed me disrespect? That kid looks no older than 10 years old. Nobody deserves a beating like that from a teacher. Most kids need discipline, I don't disagree with that, but it is not the teacher's decision the extent of discipline. | ||

In asia, corporeal punishment is the norm, rather than the exception, and just 50 years back, people still beat their kids in america- so why the big shock? There is a reason why we stopped it's called psychology there are papers published every year in journals about the effects of corporal punishment on kids, with varying degrees a beating such as the one described is defendantly in the category of harmful psychologically. | ||

You're not the father you can't pretend to be the father, and there's a reason why the actual father isn't allowed to be the one to exert justice for his son. | ||

edit2: actually no wait i don't think i did.

I would like this to be clarified by the context of the post this is in response to i believe this is about the farther being able to hit his own son. but the use of for instead of on causes well confusion. And with that the use of the word justice makes me feel sorry for any son of yours. | ||

Taking the social norms from one culture and applying it to another to justify an action is a really really stupid way to argue! "Mom my teacher cut off my labia today in sex ed class to show what female circumcision is!" "They do that in Africa all the time. Stop being a baby." | ||

The schools themselves could be sh*tholes as well, with little to no funding provided to some public schools, and little students that run rampant getting on the nerves of their teachers and beyond. This wasn't a one-day incident where the teacher suddenly went crazy and started attacking the pupil (as far as I can see) and might have occurred over a period of years, even. Obviously, something must not be right with the teacher if she just explodes and vents her anger on a little schoolboy, but a jail sentence--à mon avis--would be an incongruous punishment for her "crime" of beating up this boy. I had been expecting some East Asian school incident where the teacher brutally beat a boy, and when I saw that it was an American school (?), I waited for some giant, inhuman blow(s), and saw none. The teacher should be fired for not only a lack of proper control over her students but also for her personal lack of capacity to deal with this, but at the same time, a jail sentence would be rather absurd if you consider the available facts. | ||

You misunderstood me. I'm not saying the father should discipline the teacher. I meant it's not the teachers decision on how to discipline the child, well it is, but only to a very fine extent that are within the bounds of the law. It is ultimately the parent's decision on the extent of discipline their child receives for his wrong doing. I'm sure you would not like other people stepping in, like a teacher, and physically beating your child for teasing another child. | ||

Nobody deserves a beating like that from a teacher. Most kids need discipline, I don't disagree with that, but it is not the teacher's decision the extent of discipline. Where did I say anything like that? I disagree with all forms of corporal punishment, especially on children. What a ridiculous straw man. My point is that teachers are placed in an impossible position, placed under tremendous stress, bullied and abused by their charges and it is inevitable that some will snap. I don't view this as a good thing. But I can recognise that the teacher is by far the biggest victim of this situation. | ||
