You are the only one denying the fact that a student attacked a teacher and was 100% wrong to do so and its more than likely that absolutely nothing could have been done to avoid it.... and you have NO OTHER INFORMATION to tell you exactly what led up to that moment exactly, what was said, what threats were made, how much time there was to think or say something and so on. You just have this strong emotional reaction against the teacher and you are grasping to rationalize it. Seriously, everyone can see this. This is a moment where you could step back and ask "wow... hm... i seem to be very out of sync in my understanding of the events vs others... what is off here?".

you might want to read the thread better prior to your psych profile making this about me.

Because when and if you do, you will see at least 2x where I've agreed with others such as AaronM that the kid was wrong and should be punished and I've even rementioned that at least 1x more time since then.

after that you might realize I'm the most pragmatic person in this thread.

and gofuckyourself.

my pragmatic view backed up by researchers and educators:

They look fucking dangerous :)

ANd I haven't even began to rip apart the argument that it is OK for strangers to exact physical punishment on our kids.

Again, my point was that you literally have no clue what the exchange was before the video. You know nothing but the video and the statement that the phone was taken from a 3rd party. That is all you know. So there is zero basis whatsoever for suggesting the teacher should have done something differently as you've been doing. Whether there is something to be learned from the incident, depends on what ALL THE FACTS ARE... not your simplistic "rush to judgement" over simplifications.

As for your quotes. Who cares? I can dig up things to support any view I want. I can dig up research to prove aliens built the pyramids and go on and on about how PHD's agree with me. That means nothing and is 100% irrelevant to the undeniable truth that you do not have all the facts of the event, to pass judgement on the teacher.

do you understand the difference between inference and deduction? I mean do you? because I don't think you do. If you did you'd easily see that what I am assuming is well within the boundaries of logical inference enough to conclude that violence prevention trumps escalating violence in the classroom.

I mean really, arguing against prevention. that's your stance here. :1orglaugh you're stating I am rushing to judgement to even suggest that it better to diplomatically control the classroom with superior intellect over muscling students.


next.
obviously you CAN'T dig up things to support your view all you want because I asked yesterday for 1 simple statistic that supports your view that teachers physically beating our kids in the classroom leads to better education/better people, etc.

I'm still waiting for that.

feel free to retract this nonsense since I've proofed it false.

okey dokey, i gotta hop for abit but I'll check back later,

remember, there is always opportunity to do better, this event isn't any different.
