[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]A lot of kids need a lot more support after the last 18 months.  Many have experienced serious long-term trauma (abuse, death of loved ones, etc).  Sadly these incidents are not surprising.  I hope the teacher will be okay.  They are on the receiving end of so much mistreatment, just like flight attendants, nurses, etc.[/quote]

hopefully he'll get that in prison [/quote]

+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.[/quote]

His actions were abhorrent but neuroscience has clearly established that the frontal lobe and mature impulse control do not fully develop until mid to late 20s so it is a little unreasonable to expect the kid to act like an adult - even the adult lost his cool, after all!

This is why we have a juvenile court so rehabilitative programming can hopefully rescue this idiot kid before he ruins his whole life by ‘acting out.’

I feel bad for all the kids, and all the teachers. It’s been a hellish few years.[/quote]
