Self defence or child abuse..you decide.

[Billy Casper]

The problem Mr Prime is that, fundamentally, one's an adult and the other's a child and, in my experience, things only escalate to this degree when the teacher responds in a child like way to child like behavior from the student.

 

I wouldn't exactly say he was a 'child'.

You're stretching it a little, he was more of a young man.

 

For someone to be filming it was obviously set up to provoke the teacher and gain a reaction. A lot of young adults these days need to grow up, they are going to get a shock going into the real world!

I suppose I should have used the term minor instead of child. Until a minor reaches the age of 18 they are automatically classed as vulnerable and a teacher should always teach with that in mind.

I would love to live in your Pollyanna world, but unfortunately REAL life is much more harsh!

Simple case of a pre-emptive strike. Don't want to be hit don't get in her face. Well done teacher.

The problem is that your version of reality will continue while ever you carry on adopting that same 'wild west' mentality. Luckily, the vast majority of people don't live in your 'harsh reality'.

Take a look at the poll...perhaps it's you who's not with 'reality'

I think most people in the world do live in this reality. Are we restricting it to the UK? Nobody is suggesting aggressive teachers, we are suggesting teachers who react robustly to intimidation. I have seen teachers terrified, repeatedly asking pupils to sit who are storming toward them. The 'child' shouldn't even be out of his chair.

Why, thank you.
