hopefully he'll get that in prison

+1 His initial action (slapping the teacher's laptop) was wrong but then to physically assault him moved outside of childish behavior and into criminal behavior. He is a danger to society and needs the time out that being in prison will provide. I don't want people like that walking around in public and his "long-term trauma" is nothing compared to what others have experienced in Afghanistan, Egypt, Korea, South Africa, etc. So if he expects me to cry for him then he will be waiting a long, long time.

The kid started it but the teacher should’ve just let him snatch the device. Instinctually I get it, your defenses kick in. But you cannot ever ever ever touch a student. I’m a teacher and wouldn’t be surprised if he gets fired. This is one of those things you can’t come back from.

the teacher has a right to defend himself and prevent his property from being stollen. This isn't a 4th grader

I understand that, but it’s a serious issue to ever lay a hand on a child. He is a minor. I’m not saying he’s a good kid. But we don’t know what was happening before this and the facts are a teacher fought a kid. It is very very hard to retain employment once you’ve fought with a kid, justified or not. We aren’t even supposed to break up fights the kids are in because of the liability.

Bring back the police officers. Take these kids straight to jail. Or throw them in the dumpster like the trash that they are.

Every school already has an on site SRO, goofy. Him being there didn’t stop this.

I’ve never heard of Woodgrove HS. Is that even in northern VA?! APS and ACPS got rid of SROs, goofy (dumba$$).

This post is out of line. PP didn't condone anything of the sort.

Mmkay. Substitute “condone” with “make excuses for” then if you prefer. The point still stands.

No excuse made. The reality is a lot of kids are really, really messed up right now. Society needs to be prepared for an increase in violent school incidents and address things accordingly to prevent them as much as possible. I don’t see you offering any solutions to actually combat the problem. Prevention is key. There were multiple incidents of violence in high schools in Maryland today. It’s widespread.

So you didn’t even bother to Google where the school is but are running your mouth and I’m the dumbass? No. Woodgrove is in LCPS. Which still has SROs. One in every single school, all day long.

And you’re still doing it.

Newsflash: I don’t need to have a “solution.” Millions of kids came back to school after distance learning without turning into feral, aggressive wild animals.

For the ones who didn’t? Not my responsibility, not the school’s responsibility — the near adult high school student and their parents’ responsibility.

The “solution” is if you physically attack a teacher, charges are pressed, you go to juvie or jail, as age applicable, and you are no longer welcomed at school to endanger others. Here’s some info on alternative school for behavioral issues or GED classes.

Next!

So, you don’t want to actually come up with any proactive solutions to prevent crime and violence in schools, just allow it to happen and then lock up the offenders? I support consequences after the fact, but am also interested in prevention.

It’s almost as though you don’t care how these violent occurrences will affect other students, teachers, and administrators on a daily basis. Just because it’s not everyone’s direct responsibility doesn’t mean it won’t have a negative impact on those experiencing it, including bystanders.

Best prevention = better parenting
