[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I’ve seen the video. The kid is obviously the aggressor but when he grabs the teachers device the teacher reacts with pulling back and then shoving. Then they’re rolling and punching. 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.[/quote]

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

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. [/quote]
