I wonder if the same people here criticizing the substitute teacher for not jumping in to break up a stabbing, are the same people who thought the police officer should "throw a net over her" or "shoot the knife out of her hand" in that situation?
It's evident that a lot of posters here have no experience with violent individuals and have unrealistic thoughts about what could and should be done.

THERE WAS NO STABBING OR KNIFE INVOLVED WHEN THE SUB WALKS BY AND SNAPS A PHOTO.

yes, I meant to shout.

Calm down, child.
You have no idea who was present a few feet away, unless YOU were present.

You’re wrong and we’re called out.

This is what we have become, as society, just walk away. Don’t say anything. Don’t do anything. Let the kids kill themselves and don’t intervene. The adults are not responsible.

The child has (legal) protections that adult does not.

Here you go: 2 students holding the kid back while he’s still holding the knife.

I mean, why ever help as an adult at all, just let the kids handle it. WTAF is wrong with you?

Who is "we?" You and who else? And what were you "called out" for?

Looks like an autocorrect were. But you knew that already. Carry on being “witty”.

A poster here said that is what their kid said. It was a few pages back. So I guess we (myself included) have just assumed that was true.

You still make no sense. I'm not being witty, just trying to understand what you are saying.

And? What do you think this proves in the context of whether adult teachers should physically get involved in student fights?

Should the adults in the building just sit back and watch as one student stabs another to death? Is this the Hunger Games?

They should call for help--meaning physically go to the SRO's office, or the main office to alert the principal, and/or calling 911.
These are the adults that have the training and authority to intervene.
A poster here is being very vocal that they know for a fact that the substitute was no longer present when the knife was out--how do we know where the substitute was at that time or what he was doing? Is it possible that he was on his way to the SRO's office, principal's office, or a place where he could safely call 911? Is it possible that he took the photo so authorities could later identify the students who were involved in the fight? Seems logical to me.

No, the average teacher or another adult employee, should NOT physically intervene in a student fight.

If my child was in a fight or about to be stabbed, I would want the teacher involved. It's really crazy that people think a teacher idly walking by is acceptable. Some of you are crazy.
Also, a teacher can help without trying to break up the fight. This teacher is a disgrace and should be fired. I want better for my kids and so should you.

No, the average teacher or another adult employee, should NOT physically intervene in a student fight.

So your answer is yes, an average teacher should just stand there and watch a student stab another to death. That’s not what the teacher saw because it hadn’t happened yet. But if it was, you’re cool with kids just killing each other. Literally. FML if this is the world I live in.

No, kid put the knife down. No kid don’t do it. No stop. No nothing. Let the kids handle it. They did. That’s what your answer is.

Also have you watched any of the videos? the sub could have called 911 or the SRO right then and there. He was comfortable enough to take a photo, smirk and casually walk away. He could have called/texted right then and there. Did he, no. Stop being an apologist and just be a better person. I cannot believe as a society we are just supposed to be ok with this.

100% agree. This is outrageous and people who are ok with this are either a) insanely desensitized to violence or b) so far removed from reality that this is just entertainment. DISGUSTING.

When I send my kids to school, I trust the adults in the building to do SOMETHING to keep my kids safe--and lazily walking by a crime scene without doing anything is not acceptable to me. What a rotten human.

A few days ago on the jobs forum someone was asking about what they should do after losing their job. The poster was a single mom of a young daughter. Multiple posters said they should immediately apply to be a substitute teacher.

Were posters really recommending this thinking that this woman should expect, as part of substitute teaching, to jump into fights and to adminster life-saving techniques to stop blood loss (bare handed, mind you!?)

You need to go back to high school if that's the level of reading comprehension you have. Or maybe elementary school.

No, I have not watched the video. If you think it's that important, post it here. Ask Jeff for permission.
