Schools used to have corporal punishment
How I miss those days, people actually had manners back then

No they didn't. Kids still acted up back then. My dad worked in the school system and I knew about more cases where the teachers abused the students. Don't even get me started on how kids who were different or had disabilities were treated. Romanticizing the past is for people who know nothing about history.

You're taking it to the extreme. Of course kids still acted up, but we had a lot less school shootings and other violent behavior.

The problem with shootings is directly related to the number of guns in this country and the gun culture. That problem has little to do with teachers not being able to hit kids. Teachers have always been able to abuse kids and did back then. The violent behavior comes from the violence they see around them not because someone isn't hitting them at school.

Anyone who supports or justifies these needs to be in jail with this violent crazy person.

There is nothing that could justify a teacher chasing a kid down and assaulting him. Nothing. The teacher deserves to be in jail with all the other people assaulting people.

The percentage of household with guns has decreased over time but the shootings increased.

It is shocking how undisciplined and aggresive school kids are in US. We are teaching them to be career criminals instead of good citizens.

Do you think we’re hitting children too much or not enough? It’s hard to tell from your post.

Where is that happening? Please tell me which school is teaching the kids how to be career criminals. Are kids who wear hoodies criminals?

We all remember kids like that in school. We also all remember the crappy teacher on the cusp of retirement just phoning it in. No one would have stood up for them. I don't know why the teacher hit him, and I don't know whether the falling to the floor was the kid being overly dramatic and for attention, but I do know teachers have a hard mostly thankless job that I wouldn't want. We need to cut the otherwise good ones some slack, and start expecting better from kids.

No it says a lot about community indoctrination.

Not enough information, but this kids must be a little bugger if everyone is supporting the teacher on this.

Are you also a parent? Just curious.

Yes I am. Any parent who does this to their child is also wrong. It’s abuse.

The other kid can be a total sh*t head AND the teacher can be wrong for hitting him. Both of those things are possible.

It's the lack of parenting. It all begins at home, not in the schools. Then when the cops get a hold of them and they are injured or die the horrible parents call them a wonderful kid. Even though they have a rap sheet. You know which ones I'm talking about that have been in the media the last 5 years.

It look like the kid said something bad to the teacher. While he shouldn't have slapped the brat it was obvious he purposely fell to the ground to stop him from taking him to the principals office. And to invoke drama and sympathy, lol There is probably a bigger problem with this kid, and the parents. Glad he's retiring with full benefits.
