As a former teacher my favorite equalizer was the "Mom" card....kid, you can listen to me a chill out or face your mom...your choice!" The baddest punk in the classroom would usually fear the Mom card
I've gotten that treatment.
 
Sorry D. I can’t agree with you on this one. I have a 13 year old daughter and a 17 year old son and if either of them treated somebody else like this they better be able to back it up. My grandpa said, “Don’t let you mouth write checks your ass can’t cash”
I have taught my kids to treat the mailman the same way you’d treat the principal or teacher. The guy helping us at Fred Meyer the same they treat their grandparents. If they had the nerve to behave this way, they better be ready for the repercussions.
As a devoted father like I am, I would like to hear how you feel about what I said.
Unless it's in self defense, and I don't mean trivial self defense, I feel strongly that no adult should ever strike a child.
 
I think it depends on the situation. As in, yes kids should be respectful to adults, but in some cases when adults aren't respectful to kids, what do you tell your kids to do?

Now granted, in some cases it is brought on by the acts of a kid, but there are cases where the reasons are hidden beneath the situation at hand. I.e., the adult figure is just an ass clown, they might be racist, sexist, etc. They also might be an overly aggressive person and the kid might be sensitive/shy, etc.

I think it's made into a black and white thing too much (not talking about race here, but right/wrong good/bad). We don't know the whole story at times, and it might be that the kid was a total jack ass, or that the teacher might be a total jack ass.

I'm sure while @HCP has taught his kids to be respectful to all adults, if his son saw an adult being disrespectful to his sister, he wouldn't be upset if his son did something to stop it. For example, if his son saw some employee at FM saying inappropriate things to his sister, I bet (if it wasn't possible to de-escalate things), HCP would be fine with a little intervention/ass whupping on the part of his son.

Of course this totally opens up a can of worms, because how do you know when you intervene vs not, etc.
 
Who the fuck would support this teacher?

You can't go around throwing punches because someone disrespects you.

If someone attacks you first, I think you should be able to hit back. But then again, it depends on the size of the kid, etc. Like, if a 9th grader was coming at me with a weapon of some sort, I'm going to do my best to knock that kid out. If he is coming at me with insults (your momma wears combat boots) I'm not gonna give a shit.

But if it's a grade school kid, that changes things.

In this case, I'm sure there's more to it than just insults/disrespect. But regardless of whether or not there has been a perpetual case of the student insulting the teacher here, the teachers life wasn't (I'd guess) in danger. So really, he didn't need to be punched (as much as I might feel a little dose of humble pie might not be a bad thing for kids at times).

I wonder if there was a lack of support from the school/home in keeping that kid from behaving like that. It's easy for me to say this since I don't work in a school and don't have to deal with 20-30 raging testosterone monsters an hour for 6 hours a day.
 
Bottom line, regardless of age, the teacher was never faced with any serious danger requiring a physical defense.

Sadly, this is our failed public school system (the teacher), and a failed culture of "it takes a village" parenting (the kid who will likely become a criminal).
 
If I had a child and someone struck my child when self defense was not really at stake, they'd better run for the hills 'cause I'd come after them. Oh, and they'd best not stop running 'cause I've got a long memory and no room for someone needlessly striking my child. I've done it twice before when someone abused my ex wife and then my present wife. There were tears from the culprit in one case coupled with some serious begging and in the other case, a less serious case, there was some profuse apologizing.
 
And your post is a pussy ass and leads to a society of degenerate shitheads.
Because I wouldn't throw punches at a child?

MY children have been brought up to respect people. MY children would feel the wrath at home if one did that. MY children would deal with me. SOMEONE ELSES child would never have a punch thrown at them unless someone life was in danger.

This kid lacked that and contined to ask for corrective action. Seeing how that shit carried himself and even the way he spoke, he totally deserved a beatdown.

Kid was totally uncontrollable, talking like a little hard gangster and teach treated him as such.

All true, and he'll likely cause great harm to someone in the near future at which time he'll hopefully be apprehended and punished for it.

But so far all he's done is offer his opinion of what has proven to be an incompetent teacher with rage issues.

Got it. Ok to hit children talking shit. You've convinced me.
 
I think more kids need to get slapped the fuck up.

I applaud this teacher.
Unless apprehending a criminal or preventing a violent crime, violence against a child is always wrong.
 
Just.......wow.

The 14 year old kid verbally assaulted the teacher.

The 60 something teacher knocks the hell out of the child.

The teacher walks.

COMPLETE HORSESHIT!!!!
