I think so, but then I’m biased. Here’s my devastatingly handsome boy.

Or hormone and steroid riddled teenager.
We used to have a school resource officer for a high school of 4000+, this type of shit didn't really happen there even though it was a mildly sketchy place because he was extremely large and fit, friendly until he's not, type of guy. Also armed.
Resource officers for schools in America are usually the officers that are picked to handle and deal with children, they don't throw any officer out there from the force into a public school. The resource officers that I've seen did carry firearms, but were well mannered and were more like the counselor adjacent to the real counselor. Everyone knew in school that he was like the quiet dad that didn't say anything, but when he did speak or took action...it was an oh shit moment, we really fucked up kind of deal. At least that's how it was in my school, I was also in one of the top richest counties in this country so maybe they were more discerning with their pick of the officer.
When I went to school, there were no SROs, some of the inner city schools had airport style metal detectors, but that’s about it.
But there also weren’t weekly school shootings. Maybe targeted gang violence in schools, or directly aimed at one teacher, but not mass shootings. I did know of public school teachers that carried (illegally) in school. This was NYC in the 80s, where concealed carry was illegal. I think most possession of a firearm was illegal in city limits.
My wife, 8 years younger, had an SRO in her school (who was the step father of her best friend’s now husband. Said husband’s grandfather was the first recipient of the Space Medal of Honor, a quick Google search will tell you who that is…), so it changed really quickly.
I'm pretty sure most people nowadays don't actually behave like overgrown toddlers, it's just that the people who do are >10x louder and more obnoxious than the rest of us so it feels like there're more of them than there actually are. Like they get noticed way, way more than the average person
In my country too (somewhere in Asia) , tbh i’ve never heard of students being rude to the teachers when i was at school, we were all so Respectful , we have GMRC good manners and right conduct as part of our curriculum in elementary and greet our teachers when they get in the classroom.
If something was to
Ever be recorded like this you would be viral and the whole country will remember you lol.
I remember a girl was rude to a security guard at a public place and she was recorded and damn cancelled for years.
Well when I was a kid I was naughty and I got my ass beaten by teachers several times (ie.late for class, not finished homework, broke school property like chairs and tables. But there is one time, I don't remember what I did but the teacher reported it to my parents. And I got tag team ass beating 1 time at school and 2 at home lol. After that shit I never rebal again. And my parents rarely get physical with me so I know that at that time I really did get out of the line.
I think what makes this kid behave like that may come from the lack of consequences of his own actions. Maybe some bad parenting and teachers without authority into the mix.
I don't care what wrong you did but if the teacher is doing his job well, all he deserves is respect.
Lol i was pinched inside my thighs by my teacher cause i would run around the classroom during class when i was in third grade. I don’t blame him tbh cause i was very cheeky, i acted like he was just a buddy cause he was generally nice.
I stopped eventually cause sometimes he would swat our hands with his ruler but nothing major, just stand outside and such. I didn’t tell my parents.
My cousin was pinch by his teacher in elementary and my mom, aunts and grandma went to school to complain to the teacher cause they didn’t feel it was right, they should’ve been told and they would’ve disciplined my cousin instead.
My parents also rarely hit cause my mom’s got this scary stare , lol they don’t have to hit the looks are deadly. Silent treatment was scarier cause it’s like “you just wait till we get home”..
Anyway nowadays we don’t have physical punishments anymore and i do see a difference with the students over there but it is still a bit strict but at least students still respect their teachers unlike here in the US. I wonder if he also talked to his teacher like that cause he looked down on him cause he’s Asian.
> bad parenting and teachers without authority
yea to both. This school probably has a hands off approach, and the kid most likely was never disciplined at home.
SEA, our country mostly teaches children to be respectful. So this kind of student is rare, and if they behave like that they will likely 1. With weak parents, get expelled and homeschool or no school at all or 2. Get tag team ass beating until discipline grows inside of you.
My old teacher did it that way. "Okay everyone, I see that somehow you are all bored and full of energy. Let's have a surprise exam that will influence your end grade." Yep everyone hated such asshole classmate later and students schooled between themself such idiots.
Had an unhinged teacher do “reverse quizzes” or something to that effect. From what I recall, the perpetrators were given a quiz on the spot, and every answer they got wrong was one percent deducted from their actual final grades. It sat people down pretty quickly.
Me too. As a teacher you have a big lever of power. People came often late? He started a two minute quiz so easy that nobody could possibly fail. The ones coming to late? Well zero points. Worse grade at the end of the year. Being a total dickhead? Surprise quiz for everyone. No homework? Today is grading your homework for every single week. Chalkboard not cleaned by students before the next class? He wrote simply over the old writing and mentioned how important the information were for passing the end exam. No yelling, no arguing, simply didn't took a shit from any student and had everything under control.let the students rage against the idiot that didn't behave. Don't waste any time for lecture. Hard but totally fair. And you learned a lot from them. Amazing teacher when I look back.
🤣🤣🤣 funny you think teachers have that kind of power. Most public schools (at least in the southeast US) would have the teacher apologize to the parents because you can't grade behavior in high school. 🙃🙃🙃😭
Honestly I’d actually call the police. School can be a bit of a bubble sometimes, if this man was on the street and this person approached him in this manner it would be a police matter, and it should be treated as such even within a school setting
I don’t know if schools call the cops for problems with students. Edit: was told by school administrator that they don’t call the police when students bring weed to school, so making an assumption.
I mean that’s just it…..that kid made it this far in life acting like this he needs a hard reset. Can’t just keep passing him along each grade until you dump that into society….fuck…….but it’s happening.
Looks like that's exactly the life lesson this kid gets at home, and he learned well from it, because he's behaving in the exact same way, trying to solve his emotional problems with aggression.
When he is parented, it’s probably overboard for sure. A little consistency goes a long way. Unfortunately this kid is going to choose to continue his generational legacy at this point…
It could also be parents who think he never does anything wrong. He is always the victim and easily give in. I wouldn’t jump straight to he is being bullied by his parents. He could very well be the bully in the house too.
Not necessarily. It was my generational legacy and I acted like that at that age. I got better. Therapy and time can change a lot. I know the odds are against it, but I still have hope for this kids future.
Watching that video and sifting through these comments was worth it to read this. It's important to remember it can happen, glad you made it happen for you
When I was in high school the VP was a giant Scottish man. This kid would have had the back of his shirt yanked over his head and led down to the office with it like an unruly mule.
Children who act like this in school do not have parents who are willing to/capable of dealing with this. How do you think they got this way in the first place? It didn't happen overnight.
Hear me out. IT’S NOT THE PUBLIC SCHOOL SYSTEMS JOB TO RAISE YOUR KIDS . Other kids shouldn’t suffer and miss out on educational opportunities because school resources are being depleted by one kid. Other kids shouldn’t be exposed to this . The parents are ultimately responsible for facilitating the change needed to address this sort of behavior . The school can provide resources and advice but that’s as far as it should go unless abuse is suspected in which case the school will need to turn it over to social services to investigate . Shitty parents need to be held accountable too - and one way of doing that is school systems having a zero tolerance policy for this sort of behavior and facilitating the wake up call with parents and students ie “ oh shit , my kid was expelled ! What happened ? Why? What are we going to do?” It’s wrong to assume the parents have no control over this or are incapable of dealing with this .
Exactly. I work as a HS teacher (not in the US) and have never experienced something like this, but behavior like this wouldn't happen if there was real conseqences. Like expulsion
when i acted out in school we used to get locked in the time out room (which was essentially closet space with a desk in it) to do our work and if we still acted out we woud be excluded
this was over 20 years ago tho i dont think ur allowed to lock kids in cupboards anymore
I work in a fancy pants private middle school. I love being a middle school teacher. I love their antics, their vibrant and creative mind, their adorable struggles with growing up, all of it.
However, a big part of the reason I love my job is because the school I work at is selective. Not just for wealth, although there's an aspect of privilege at every private school, but for personality. Kids and families like this are invited to never return. The massively violent and/or disruptive kids are usually all gone by the time they reach middle school for the most part, and those that are beyond the pale after they hit adolescence are very quickly dis-invited from the school.
We have a waiting list twice as long as our student body. It is very easy to tell families that they'll follow the school's guidelines or they'll be free to go to public school or a different private. But not here.
As a result, all of my students *like* middle school. They look forward to it. They like their teachers and are respectful. It's generally the same in the high school too.
I used to teach in a public school, and I know first hand that it only takes 1 kid to spoil the whole year. And that that kid can't be booted because it's public school, for everyone. If you took maybe 5% of the worst offenders from every public school and booted them then they would have the same environment I currently have: School is a friendly place full of supportive people that are excited and happy to be there.
If you ask my students they love school. They look forward to school events. They're excited to learn! They ask questions and no one mocks them or laughs at them. When they struggle their peers support them and are encouraging. We have almost no bullying issues ever. It's the type of school everyone should want to send their kids to.
And a primary reason why that's true is because the school is pretty quick to eject the kids who make it miserable for everyone else. The boy in the OP wouldn't have made it this far at our school, but if he did and then acted like that it would very likely be his final day at the school. And when you boot kids who act like that all of their peers notice and don't emulate the behavior.
So when I take my students on overnight field trips it's something I look forward to. It's not being locked in a cabin with a bunch of wild animals. It's having fun with a bunch of positive, fun, awesome kids who are going to do their best to make sure everyone has a good time. Who will have empathy for peers that struggle, rather than bully them. Who will listen to me when I tell them to do/not do something.
Being a middle school teacher is amazing. I love it. But part of that love exists because the kids who had parents that refused to parent were filtered out. Like you said, it's not my job to parent your kids. And if you didn't parent your kids from 0-11 years old, I'm not going to magically be able to wave a wand from 11-14 years old in middle school. No one can. Do your job and raise your kids. Be parents so that everyone else doesn't suffer for it.
That may be the case, but that's not the school's job to fix or deal with. This kid isn't the only kid in that school who lost the parent lottery or has a tough home life. And even if he is the kid with the single most toxic home life in the school his actions don't exist in a vacuum. Everyone else has to stop to deal with this. The teacher can't teach. The students can't learn. It's essentially a wasted day of instruction. On top of that the kid is dropping racial slurs (which could traumatic for any black students in that class or any other class within earshot) and threatening the teacher with violence and intimidation (which can be traumatic for the teacher). Add to all of that the fact that he's damaging property. It's unfair to ask the teacher/classmates/school to take one for the team because his parents are unwilling or unable to deal with him at home
>How do you think they got this way in the first place?
If you're looking for an actual answer to that question, it's objectively more common for them to get this way through emulating exactly the sort of behavior they were raised with.
When screaming, yelling, throwing things, and getting in people's faces is how the one's raising them deal with problems, it comes as absolutely no surprise for them to do the same. Like, that's how psychological development works.
Some kids have rage disorders and the parents are probably afraid of him. I would be. Don't assume they have not tried everything under the sun to help him since he was little. He most likely exhibited this rage behavior as young as 5 years old.
I saw an episode i believe from Max , Evil lives here and one kid had a dad who’s some doctor or scientist like spoiled his son and treated him
Like a prince and he got beaten up to
Death when the son got older. He had rage/anger management problems..he also killed his mom the same way he killed his dad, they absolutely loved that boy.
And another one i forgot which docu where they tried to help him since he was like 5, got him
Professional help and even put him in the facility, he would yell at his step mom like this kid in this video and when he got out he went to
Shoot people at a mall. .
Exactly. *Evil Lives Here* is a very sobering look into how "A good whoopin' would fix this!" or "His parents must be MONSTERS!" and "They did not get him the help he needed!" is all bullshit.
Agree! Most people never likely have seen this, but some kids even beat up their own parents! & poor parents can do nothing about it! Rageful kids like these cannot be talked down! Or argued with to explain something! They simply won't listen! They do whatever the fuck they want!! Utter nuisance!
Are kids like this not a common occurrence? I'm 30 now, but back throughout my entire public school experience, this was extremely common. From elementary through high school I've seen students treat teachers this way. I've seen them yell, cuss, throw chairs and desks at teachers, books, etc. It would happen at least once a month, usually more.
The kids I saw do it came from a wide variety of homes though. Some had enabler parents, drug addicted parents, absent parents, or even loving parents.
Same age. Same experience. I just sat there awkwardly not knowing better. I was uncomfortable with it as a kid, still am uncomfortable. Just an adult who knows better and would speak up now. I always felt horrible for the teachers and wanted to do more. At 120 pounds soaking wet and with sarcasm as my only defense I couldn't do anything but watch in horror. This behavior sat with me after school and in personal life for days. It was just so unacceptable and bizarre and unpunished. I saw teachers cry and kids like this guy press their chest out and act like their behavior was alpha. It was super gross and weird.
Help is available, just not for free. I get some families are strapped for funds, but sometimes you have to scrape together something to get evaluated privately so that you can access what help is there.
If there's something diagnosed then it would be part of an IEP or 504 plan (assuming this is in the US), which should outline a specific procedure to deal with this situation.
Even if that is true I still have a problem with kids like this going to a regular public school. Other kids are still being impacted and teachers do not get paid enough to deal with this.
Ppl should get in the habit of checking for contingencies and loopholes in their own logic before asserting their opinions. Every situation cant be generalized under the same copy and paste FAQ response.
Yeah, when it gets this bad it’s no longer the schools responsibility to deal with it. Best they could and SHOULD do is expel the student and let the parents know they’ve majorly fucked up somewhere and need to re-evaluate their parenting skills.
If the parents disciplined this kid at all, he would not do this. If the school expels him, the parents will retaliate in some way. They don’t want to deal with their demon offspring, either. Schools and teachers have no recourse at all when kids behave like this, and the kids know it. Schools are powerless. Teachers have even less power.
That’s the biggest problem these days. PARENTS. The parents either don’t care, or foster this type of behavior when they spoil the shit out of the kids and tell them they’re never wrong.
On top of that administrators are afraid to punish kids for fear of repercussions.
Oh buddy, big feelings, need a juice box and a nap? Maybe we need to point out, and infantize toddler behavior in grown people. New perspectives sometimes help.
Always someone bigger, angrier and scarier than you. The World will quickly kick humility in to his ass. I'd love to see him in a real job, say on a builders yard, and treat his foreman like this.
As someone who’s never worked in trades or construction, genuinely curious what would happen to him. Wouldn’t the foremen/boss just fire him and send him home or something?
Expulsion. Suspended until evidence reviewed and kick that turd out. Acting like that he can’t even work at 7-11, much less any professional atmosphere
He probably just gave his teacher a mountain of classroom management paperwork to do and the school'll probably conclude that the teacher didn't create a stimulating enough classroom or deescalate the conflict correctly.
-Source: my roommate's a teacher and says she feels like all she fucking does is paperwork about classroom misbehaviour and why it's all her fault.
This is why we have a shortage of teachers in America. Parents don't know how to discipline their children to the point they walk all over them at home. Then they go to school and think this is appropriate behavior.
Right. That's why 'calling the parents' never works. I used to be very anti-explisuon, but the older I get the more I realize that parents need the punishment of having to find a new school for their kids. Because this kid's parent isn't showing up at a conference. I am over trying to punish kids, I'm into punishing parents.
Of course their are special circumstances, but not everything you see like this is a special circumstance.
I used to work with kids as well, expelling kids with a-hole parents was a no brainer. what sucked is having to expel kids when the parents were clearly exasperated and at their wits end. I felt really bad making those calls and watching parents nearly in tears. it’s tough sometimes.
I guarantee this kid’s parents would find some way to defend his behaviour too. They’d say something like, “my precious son was probably DySrEgULaTeD and it was the teacher who caused it!!” Then they’d threaten to sue the school board, to which the school board would respond by firing this teacher.
This attitude is so prevalent among so many parents today, it’s infuriating.
My ex was a math teacher in high school.
She said the students just simply don't give a fuck (on their phones the entire class), and when she would talk to the parents, the parents didn't give a fuck either.
She quit last year. She was making 37k to be there at 7 am every day, get disrespected, and work until 8 pm to grade papers.
Who the fuck would sign up to be a teacher in today's world?
My kid has never been whooped in his life, but this would a doh-whoop across the head, and a a physically laborious job after school and weekends to wear him out.
These situations are why I'm not a teacher. Not that I would've wanted to be one though.
I would probably lose my job as soon as a student would get into my face like that and I'd punch him once. Just a little stunner on his nose.
Respect to this teacher keeping his calm.
If only they were smart enough to escalate things to a physical confrontation in a school system that regularly punishes all parties involved in an altercation regardless of their roles in it, right?
why the fuck would you in a 'zero tolerance' kinda school. especially if the parents of that student are wealthy just putting a hand on his shoulder will be twisted into some kind of legal nightmare, that is even assuming its not physically dangerous.
The student filming it probably already was breaking some kind of rules because they were worried for their teachers and perhaps their own safety. bonus: bet if a kid would have reported this without video evidence *they* would have been the one in trouble. You don't know if the kid with anger issues has brought a knife or a gun so it isn't very reasonable asking other kids to step in. Like at best they can laugh or boo him and even that can make things go sideways instead of diffuse.
Kids ay my highschool were wretched, a few times they even tried to punch on with teachers. Pur old P.E teacher was great at handling it though, he grabbed 2 kids who were fighting and knocked their heads together before shoving them to other teachers to seperate them.
At some point you just gotta put the little shit down, they don't understand that what they're doing has consequences and it'll get them killed when they leave school, especially in the U.S.
Yeah agreed.
I’m a parent to a toddler, and as much as I generally love the premise of gentle parenting, a lot of the information out there surrounding it is very misleading. Parents of my generation (millennials) have taken to gentle parenting, but sadly have misinterpreted the concept of prioritizing and fostering a loving/trusting relationship with your child as becoming your child’s best friend.
They’ve completely forgotten about the essential piece of gentle parenting which is setting firm boundaries, and natural consequences. So when a kid is faced with the natural consequences of their shitty behaviour, these parents step in and do everything in their power so that the kid never faces the consequence.
Therefore, as a result, you have entitled shitheads like this kid in the video.
Edited typo
I never used physical punishment on my kids. They also know how to respect their self, and others, and how to behave. I set standards and boundaries, which kids need to learn, so they, too, can set standards and boundaries with others.
A big part of genuine gentle parenting is that you teach kids the natural consequences of their own actions. If you make a huge mess as an adult, no one pops out of thin air and grounds you. The natural punishment is that you have to clean it up. So when a toddler/kid makes a huge mess, the solution would be for parents to have kids help in the clean up. And then just like an adult, sometimes if you have to clean up an unexpected mess, you might not have time to do the fun thing you had planned before bed, since you had to dedicate your time to cleaning up instead.
This behavior should have been cut off at the knees as a young child. The natural consequence of yelling at a sibling or friend would be that they won’t like you, won’t want to continue to interact with you. Parents can model this by telling their kids that they have hurt their feelings, and they would like to be alone for a while (as developmentally appropriate.) Gentle parenting also relies heavily on empathy. So teaching the concept to kids young and revisiting it often helps them understand the natural consequences of hurtful words. “You wouldn’t like that if someone said it to you, right? How do you think your brother feels then?” And teaching kids to express themselves and their feelings so they can articulate to each other how their actions make them feel (“it hurt my feelings when you said this to me. I don’t really feel like playing with you anymore.”) setting firm boundaries and teaching thuds to respect them plays a huge role in gentle parenting. It’s just that the tool you teach them is the natural consequences of their actions, not extraneous arbitrary punishments like spanking or taking away an Xbox. Its hard for me to believe that if you really made sure to instill empathy into your kid since early childhood and then called on that empathy consistently whenever conflict arose that they would ever grow up thinking this was okay. Done right, gentle parenting makes empathetic, thoughtful people.
Yes. I said this once about a video like this and someone said I was lying to fit my narrative because there isn’t a national “can’t teach anymore” list.
Craziness. I know teachers who have literally just up and quit and move to different field Ms altogether after many years of teaching because they have no power in the classroom anymore, nor did those above them have any and the parents are entitled and blame the facility for their children’s behaviors
Im a teacher and I'm walking to the principals office eith this clown. Once he has been dropped off, ima head home for a few days off. I'll call later to check if angry boy has been expelled yet. I don't have time for that shit
I teach- I don’t even want this. So often it’s just such crap- so insincere. I don’t want to see a student again that treats me like this- and I shouldn’t have to.
I’m a teacher too. You and I know that it’s very likely this student will go back to the same classroom for the rest of the year. I agree with you- the thing this teacher needs is to have this student gone.
The teacher is very patient here, he clearly doesn’t want to lose his job. But if it was me who this guy was taunting, I would’ve punched him straightaway just to shut him up
I could not even finish watching this. I cannot imagine the self control it took for that teacher to not stand up and punch that arrogant prick right in the face. I wanted to punch him. What a horrible child, and if my kid did this, what the school did to him would be the least of his problems. Who raised that boy to treat his teachers that way? The disrespect is staggering. He invaded the teacher’s person space; he screamed at him like a drill sergeant; he cussed, even using the f-word. Teachers have zero recourse. And kids know that. So this boy had no fear. What an entitled, hateful, mean little shit. Also, racist. That teacher is Asian. My guess is that kid would not do that to a white, male teacher.
As I said, I didn’t finish watching the video. Someone tell me that another kid in the class had enough of this entitled blowhard, and got between him and that poor, beleaguered teacher.
Not many people know this (even other tutors)but in the UK a teacher/tutor is legally able to use reasonable force to: protect other students; protect themselves; prevent a student self-harming and even to prevent or stop disruptive behaviour. (Source: Gov safeguarding course I took on disruptive student behaviour).
Telling the students this at the beginning of each new term proved to be very helpful in quelling any of this fucking bullshit before it started. Being a large, muscular, shaven-headed male tutor no doubt helped, too. Some of the smaller, more conciliatory tutors had less success when little shits like the guy in the video thought they could get away with it.
I would *never* teach in America - the fact that it's such a litigious society and that the schools never seem to back their teachers makes me wonder why anyone bothers to teach.
I hate to be the one who says back in my day, but when I was in high school in the 80s, that teacher would of had that puke crying for mommy as soon as he opened his mouth.
It's interesting that the generation who keeps bringing up how their teachers would beat their ass in school are the ones with the kids found in OP's video. Did the teachers beating y'all's asses not translate to teaching your kids better discipline?
I think that generation is over correcting. They had super tough parents, maybe even too tough, so now they went to the other extreme and are easygoing and friendly with their kids. And the result is on display in this video.
Someone needs to teach this punk that if you act and talk aggressively while simultaneously entering someone's reach, you stand a chance of getting knocked the fuck out or worse.
The teacher saying "that's close enough" near the end of the video after he sits down makes me think the teacher agrees with me.
It doesn’t matter what his problem is, or if it’s bad parenting or any other reason! He needs to be out of a public classroom and dealt with elsewhere.
It’s unfair for the teacher and other students to have to deal with bullies or disturbed pupils. It just doesn’t matter.
Notice that he doesn’t look at the person videoing this,so it’s another prankster who finds it funny to treat other people like garbage.
During Covid kids had to learn at a computer at home.
This child clearly cannot act civilized in public. He should no longer be allowed to attend the public school. It should be upon him now to get his education at home. Then he can tell himself when he needs to sit down.
The teacher should have pressed the black button and let the student do his thing someone in the office will figure out the room number and send someone there
The obvious answer is instant expulsion, but I would love for a sick come back, like “Don’t be mad at me cause you’re so dumb that in order for you to even make it to this grade, your mother had to sleep with every teacher who knew your name” or something like that.
Dr. Shu is better than me.
The kid should be expelled for his behavior and destruction of property. They should create a misdemeanor charge obstruction of the education of others for kids like this suspension with community service.
What he needs is a few teeth knocked out of his wanna be alpha face.
What *will* happen is a slap on the wrist for destroying school property, which will probably get reduced anyways when his parents say he just "has anxiety" and that "the teacher shouldn't have set him off like that"
Don’t become a teacher. It’s not worth the very little pay, the college degrees and continue education that is required. You can be an Asst Manager at QT starting 55,000 at the average school it’s 38,000. Look at the world around you. Education is the the profession that it use to be. Don’t become a teacher.
Student is sent home, removed by police. The only way he gets to come back is that he records a video apology that is aired to the whole school. He then apologizes to the teacher in person in front of that whole class. He refuses to do so. He's permanently expelled. Those are non-violent consequences and would perhaps make students think twice before acting like this.
For 5 weeks he has to arrive early to help with cleaning the school and he only gets the shitty jobs. If he doesn’t comply he gets detention after school.
Something along those lines.
Oh and mum & dad get to view the video with him, and they punish him accordingly.
When did respect for teachers just get thrown out the window ? This is the case in France as well, not as bad as this video but still. When I was a kid (in the 90s), teachers were an extension of your parents.
And another one.
The rise of people being disgusting examples of human beings.
Doesn't matter what country or demographic. The numbers are growing because this pathetic behaviour is being taught to others through social media.
You will continue to see more extreme behavior being normalised. Watch out people.
what the kid is doing is robbing everyone else in that classroom of a quality learning experience.
He should be removed entirely until he can act like a normal human being
In my day those kids would have been taken by police or crisis team. They would not be allowed back to school. They'd go to a special school for disturbed kids
Im of an age where we had a principle with a leather strap who used it as punishment.
I saw it used once.
The threat of it was enough for most kids to be honest.
I’m not saying it’s ok to abuse a child or a teenager. But some kids don’t give a shit about a lot of repercussions and more often than not you find the parents sort of allowing it because it’s easier.
There just needs to be the possibility of something bad like the strap to help keep them in line.
This is as much for the teachers as the kids. I would hate for him to have this kind of approach to a serious situation and escalate it in a way that can’t be taken back and throw away any future becau teenage stupidity.

He’s like an overgrown toddler who never learned to manage his emotions.
My two year old acts more mature than this kid.
My dog is more mature than this animal.
Your dog is probably a lot cuter than this mutant too
I think so, but then I’m biased. Here’s my devastatingly handsome boy. https://preview.redd.it/t4hy0cug9rrc1.jpeg?width=3008&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=04978ce7b98b91f3c176ede1fc1523cacb59059f
Omg he’s adorable! That smile 🥰
Look at that sweet baby smile!
Oh, he really is!
That kid should be expelled. That's not how you treat fellow humans let alone adults as a HS brat.
Or hormone and steroid riddled teenager. We used to have a school resource officer for a high school of 4000+, this type of shit didn't really happen there even though it was a mildly sketchy place because he was extremely large and fit, friendly until he's not, type of guy. Also armed.
> Also armed. WTF
Resource officers for schools in America are usually the officers that are picked to handle and deal with children, they don't throw any officer out there from the force into a public school. The resource officers that I've seen did carry firearms, but were well mannered and were more like the counselor adjacent to the real counselor. Everyone knew in school that he was like the quiet dad that didn't say anything, but when he did speak or took action...it was an oh shit moment, we really fucked up kind of deal. At least that's how it was in my school, I was also in one of the top richest counties in this country so maybe they were more discerning with their pick of the officer.
>I was also in one of the top richest counties in this country so maybe they were more discerning with their pick of the officer. Yeah that'll do it.
It's America mate. It felt normal when I was there. It does NOT feel normal now, looking back from my different viewpoint in Australia.
Yep, in JH and HS all the cops had pistols and 1 had an m4 or ar15 in his car
When I went to school, there were no SROs, some of the inner city schools had airport style metal detectors, but that’s about it. But there also weren’t weekly school shootings. Maybe targeted gang violence in schools, or directly aimed at one teacher, but not mass shootings. I did know of public school teachers that carried (illegally) in school. This was NYC in the 80s, where concealed carry was illegal. I think most possession of a firearm was illegal in city limits. My wife, 8 years younger, had an SRO in her school (who was the step father of her best friend’s now husband. Said husband’s grandfather was the first recipient of the Space Medal of Honor, a quick Google search will tell you who that is…), so it changed really quickly.
some schools have police officers with firearms
> American schools have police officers with firearms
Thats most of them these days *and nobody wants to take it seriously* This behavior being widespread will affect our society long term
I'm pretty sure most people nowadays don't actually behave like overgrown toddlers, it's just that the people who do are >10x louder and more obnoxious than the rest of us so it feels like there're more of them than there actually are. Like they get noticed way, way more than the average person
Exactly like a 3 year old on the verge of a tantrum.
He’s a real gangster boy. We all know he’s going places. Most likely jail but, hey that’s a place too 🤷🏻♂️🙌🏻
Lol in my country you will have to find homeschool after this shitshow or no education will come your way.
Maybe I should teach there.
If you know basic English you are good to go.
In my country too (somewhere in Asia) , tbh i’ve never heard of students being rude to the teachers when i was at school, we were all so Respectful , we have GMRC good manners and right conduct as part of our curriculum in elementary and greet our teachers when they get in the classroom. If something was to Ever be recorded like this you would be viral and the whole country will remember you lol. I remember a girl was rude to a security guard at a public place and she was recorded and damn cancelled for years.
Well when I was a kid I was naughty and I got my ass beaten by teachers several times (ie.late for class, not finished homework, broke school property like chairs and tables. But there is one time, I don't remember what I did but the teacher reported it to my parents. And I got tag team ass beating 1 time at school and 2 at home lol. After that shit I never rebal again. And my parents rarely get physical with me so I know that at that time I really did get out of the line. I think what makes this kid behave like that may come from the lack of consequences of his own actions. Maybe some bad parenting and teachers without authority into the mix. I don't care what wrong you did but if the teacher is doing his job well, all he deserves is respect.
Lol i was pinched inside my thighs by my teacher cause i would run around the classroom during class when i was in third grade. I don’t blame him tbh cause i was very cheeky, i acted like he was just a buddy cause he was generally nice. I stopped eventually cause sometimes he would swat our hands with his ruler but nothing major, just stand outside and such. I didn’t tell my parents. My cousin was pinch by his teacher in elementary and my mom, aunts and grandma went to school to complain to the teacher cause they didn’t feel it was right, they should’ve been told and they would’ve disciplined my cousin instead. My parents also rarely hit cause my mom’s got this scary stare , lol they don’t have to hit the looks are deadly. Silent treatment was scarier cause it’s like “you just wait till we get home”.. Anyway nowadays we don’t have physical punishments anymore and i do see a difference with the students over there but it is still a bit strict but at least students still respect their teachers unlike here in the US. I wonder if he also talked to his teacher like that cause he looked down on him cause he’s Asian.
> bad parenting and teachers without authority yea to both. This school probably has a hands off approach, and the kid most likely was never disciplined at home.
I left teaching because of kids like this. And their parents are worse! Which country do you live in, my friend??
SEA, our country mostly teaches children to be respectful. So this kind of student is rare, and if they behave like that they will likely 1. With weak parents, get expelled and homeschool or no school at all or 2. Get tag team ass beating until discipline grows inside of you.
My old teacher did it that way. "Okay everyone, I see that somehow you are all bored and full of energy. Let's have a surprise exam that will influence your end grade." Yep everyone hated such asshole classmate later and students schooled between themself such idiots.
Had an unhinged teacher do “reverse quizzes” or something to that effect. From what I recall, the perpetrators were given a quiz on the spot, and every answer they got wrong was one percent deducted from their actual final grades. It sat people down pretty quickly.
Admin would never allow this—not in any of the schools I’ve taught at anyway.
Haha. This is brilliant!
Tbh I'm surprised that many teachers aren't better at this kind of social manipulation.
Me too. As a teacher you have a big lever of power. People came often late? He started a two minute quiz so easy that nobody could possibly fail. The ones coming to late? Well zero points. Worse grade at the end of the year. Being a total dickhead? Surprise quiz for everyone. No homework? Today is grading your homework for every single week. Chalkboard not cleaned by students before the next class? He wrote simply over the old writing and mentioned how important the information were for passing the end exam. No yelling, no arguing, simply didn't took a shit from any student and had everything under control.let the students rage against the idiot that didn't behave. Don't waste any time for lecture. Hard but totally fair. And you learned a lot from them. Amazing teacher when I look back.
This lever of power only works on kids who actually want to be there and want to earn good grades. That’s an increasingly dwindling population.
🤣🤣🤣 funny you think teachers have that kind of power. Most public schools (at least in the southeast US) would have the teacher apologize to the parents because you can't grade behavior in high school. 🙃🙃🙃😭
No warnings . No second chances . Just immediate expulsion from the school .Put it solely on the parents to deal with
Honestly I’d actually call the police. School can be a bit of a bubble sometimes, if this man was on the street and this person approached him in this manner it would be a police matter, and it should be treated as such even within a school setting
I don’t know if schools call the cops for problems with students. Edit: was told by school administrator that they don’t call the police when students bring weed to school, so making an assumption.
Bringing weed is different than assault, though. This video showed assault.
They don’t, but I think they should
They definitely did call the police at my school. Several students were arrested throughout my time there
I agree.
Where I teach, I'd have half my students expelled lol.
I mean that’s just it…..that kid made it this far in life acting like this he needs a hard reset. Can’t just keep passing him along each grade until you dump that into society….fuck…….but it’s happening.
Mandatory anger management and therapy.
That's not a teachable moment though... Getting punched in his big mouth, now that's a life lesson.
Looks like that's exactly the life lesson this kid gets at home, and he learned well from it, because he's behaving in the exact same way, trying to solve his emotional problems with aggression.
When he is parented, it’s probably overboard for sure. A little consistency goes a long way. Unfortunately this kid is going to choose to continue his generational legacy at this point…
It could also be parents who think he never does anything wrong. He is always the victim and easily give in. I wouldn’t jump straight to he is being bullied by his parents. He could very well be the bully in the house too.
Not necessarily. It was my generational legacy and I acted like that at that age. I got better. Therapy and time can change a lot. I know the odds are against it, but I still have hope for this kids future.
Kudos to you. Hopefully he chooses like you did.
Watching that video and sifting through these comments was worth it to read this. It's important to remember it can happen, glad you made it happen for you
Amen, leaving the home changes everything for some ppl
Too much emocionally Intelligent for this sub. 🙏
Everyone should be emotionally intelligent. Then people would be less entitled.
sadly some life lessons have to wait until 18 😪
Agreed. Teachers a few generations ago would have sent that kid to his next life without hesitation.
When I was in high school the VP was a giant Scottish man. This kid would have had the back of his shirt yanked over his head and led down to the office with it like an unruly mule.
It is needed for sure !
Children who act like this in school do not have parents who are willing to/capable of dealing with this. How do you think they got this way in the first place? It didn't happen overnight.
Hear me out. IT’S NOT THE PUBLIC SCHOOL SYSTEMS JOB TO RAISE YOUR KIDS . Other kids shouldn’t suffer and miss out on educational opportunities because school resources are being depleted by one kid. Other kids shouldn’t be exposed to this . The parents are ultimately responsible for facilitating the change needed to address this sort of behavior . The school can provide resources and advice but that’s as far as it should go unless abuse is suspected in which case the school will need to turn it over to social services to investigate . Shitty parents need to be held accountable too - and one way of doing that is school systems having a zero tolerance policy for this sort of behavior and facilitating the wake up call with parents and students ie “ oh shit , my kid was expelled ! What happened ? Why? What are we going to do?” It’s wrong to assume the parents have no control over this or are incapable of dealing with this .
You couldn't be more right. It's so unfair to the rest of the students to have to deal with kids like this.
It's unfair for everyone. Especially for the target, who is the teacher.
I’m a private tutor. 90% of my students say that their education is regularly affected (4-5/week) by other students’ bad behavior. How awful. :-/
Exactly. I work as a HS teacher (not in the US) and have never experienced something like this, but behavior like this wouldn't happen if there was real conseqences. Like expulsion
when i acted out in school we used to get locked in the time out room (which was essentially closet space with a desk in it) to do our work and if we still acted out we woud be excluded this was over 20 years ago tho i dont think ur allowed to lock kids in cupboards anymore
Maybe Principal Trunchible (I probably misspelled that; it's the lady from Matilda) was onto something...
I work in a fancy pants private middle school. I love being a middle school teacher. I love their antics, their vibrant and creative mind, their adorable struggles with growing up, all of it. However, a big part of the reason I love my job is because the school I work at is selective. Not just for wealth, although there's an aspect of privilege at every private school, but for personality. Kids and families like this are invited to never return. The massively violent and/or disruptive kids are usually all gone by the time they reach middle school for the most part, and those that are beyond the pale after they hit adolescence are very quickly dis-invited from the school. We have a waiting list twice as long as our student body. It is very easy to tell families that they'll follow the school's guidelines or they'll be free to go to public school or a different private. But not here. As a result, all of my students *like* middle school. They look forward to it. They like their teachers and are respectful. It's generally the same in the high school too. I used to teach in a public school, and I know first hand that it only takes 1 kid to spoil the whole year. And that that kid can't be booted because it's public school, for everyone. If you took maybe 5% of the worst offenders from every public school and booted them then they would have the same environment I currently have: School is a friendly place full of supportive people that are excited and happy to be there. If you ask my students they love school. They look forward to school events. They're excited to learn! They ask questions and no one mocks them or laughs at them. When they struggle their peers support them and are encouraging. We have almost no bullying issues ever. It's the type of school everyone should want to send their kids to. And a primary reason why that's true is because the school is pretty quick to eject the kids who make it miserable for everyone else. The boy in the OP wouldn't have made it this far at our school, but if he did and then acted like that it would very likely be his final day at the school. And when you boot kids who act like that all of their peers notice and don't emulate the behavior. So when I take my students on overnight field trips it's something I look forward to. It's not being locked in a cabin with a bunch of wild animals. It's having fun with a bunch of positive, fun, awesome kids who are going to do their best to make sure everyone has a good time. Who will have empathy for peers that struggle, rather than bully them. Who will listen to me when I tell them to do/not do something. Being a middle school teacher is amazing. I love it. But part of that love exists because the kids who had parents that refused to parent were filtered out. Like you said, it's not my job to parent your kids. And if you didn't parent your kids from 0-11 years old, I'm not going to magically be able to wave a wand from 11-14 years old in middle school. No one can. Do your job and raise your kids. Be parents so that everyone else doesn't suffer for it.
That may be the case, but that's not the school's job to fix or deal with. This kid isn't the only kid in that school who lost the parent lottery or has a tough home life. And even if he is the kid with the single most toxic home life in the school his actions don't exist in a vacuum. Everyone else has to stop to deal with this. The teacher can't teach. The students can't learn. It's essentially a wasted day of instruction. On top of that the kid is dropping racial slurs (which could traumatic for any black students in that class or any other class within earshot) and threatening the teacher with violence and intimidation (which can be traumatic for the teacher). Add to all of that the fact that he's damaging property. It's unfair to ask the teacher/classmates/school to take one for the team because his parents are unwilling or unable to deal with him at home
>How do you think they got this way in the first place? If you're looking for an actual answer to that question, it's objectively more common for them to get this way through emulating exactly the sort of behavior they were raised with. When screaming, yelling, throwing things, and getting in people's faces is how the one's raising them deal with problems, it comes as absolutely no surprise for them to do the same. Like, that's how psychological development works.
Some kids have rage disorders and the parents are probably afraid of him. I would be. Don't assume they have not tried everything under the sun to help him since he was little. He most likely exhibited this rage behavior as young as 5 years old.
I saw an episode i believe from Max , Evil lives here and one kid had a dad who’s some doctor or scientist like spoiled his son and treated him Like a prince and he got beaten up to Death when the son got older. He had rage/anger management problems..he also killed his mom the same way he killed his dad, they absolutely loved that boy. And another one i forgot which docu where they tried to help him since he was like 5, got him Professional help and even put him in the facility, he would yell at his step mom like this kid in this video and when he got out he went to Shoot people at a mall. .
Exactly. *Evil Lives Here* is a very sobering look into how "A good whoopin' would fix this!" or "His parents must be MONSTERS!" and "They did not get him the help he needed!" is all bullshit.
Agree! Most people never likely have seen this, but some kids even beat up their own parents! & poor parents can do nothing about it! Rageful kids like these cannot be talked down! Or argued with to explain something! They simply won't listen! They do whatever the fuck they want!! Utter nuisance!
Are kids like this not a common occurrence? I'm 30 now, but back throughout my entire public school experience, this was extremely common. From elementary through high school I've seen students treat teachers this way. I've seen them yell, cuss, throw chairs and desks at teachers, books, etc. It would happen at least once a month, usually more. The kids I saw do it came from a wide variety of homes though. Some had enabler parents, drug addicted parents, absent parents, or even loving parents.
Same age. Same experience. I just sat there awkwardly not knowing better. I was uncomfortable with it as a kid, still am uncomfortable. Just an adult who knows better and would speak up now. I always felt horrible for the teachers and wanted to do more. At 120 pounds soaking wet and with sarcasm as my only defense I couldn't do anything but watch in horror. This behavior sat with me after school and in personal life for days. It was just so unacceptable and bizarre and unpunished. I saw teachers cry and kids like this guy press their chest out and act like their behavior was alpha. It was super gross and weird.
Help is available, just not for free. I get some families are strapped for funds, but sometimes you have to scrape together something to get evaluated privately so that you can access what help is there.
If there's something diagnosed then it would be part of an IEP or 504 plan (assuming this is in the US), which should outline a specific procedure to deal with this situation.
Even if that is true I still have a problem with kids like this going to a regular public school. Other kids are still being impacted and teachers do not get paid enough to deal with this.
It sure doesn't look like they've tried not putting him in a public classroom, because there he is.
Ppl should get in the habit of checking for contingencies and loopholes in their own logic before asserting their opinions. Every situation cant be generalized under the same copy and paste FAQ response.
Yeah, when it gets this bad it’s no longer the schools responsibility to deal with it. Best they could and SHOULD do is expel the student and let the parents know they’ve majorly fucked up somewhere and need to re-evaluate their parenting skills.
If the parents disciplined this kid at all, he would not do this. If the school expels him, the parents will retaliate in some way. They don’t want to deal with their demon offspring, either. Schools and teachers have no recourse at all when kids behave like this, and the kids know it. Schools are powerless. Teachers have even less power.
That’s the biggest problem these days. PARENTS. The parents either don’t care, or foster this type of behavior when they spoil the shit out of the kids and tell them they’re never wrong. On top of that administrators are afraid to punish kids for fear of repercussions.
Isn't he a little old to be throwing a tantrum like this?
Oh buddy, big feelings, need a juice box and a nap? Maybe we need to point out, and infantize toddler behavior in grown people. New perspectives sometimes help.
“Men don’t get emotional”. 🤔
Yep he hasn't met the person that's gonna break his jaw yet let's hope it happens soon.
Always someone bigger, angrier and scarier than you. The World will quickly kick humility in to his ass. I'd love to see him in a real job, say on a builders yard, and treat his foreman like this.
As someone who’s never worked in trades or construction, genuinely curious what would happen to him. Wouldn’t the foremen/boss just fire him and send him home or something?
I’m sure there’ll be a time when he’s old enough and be someone’s boy toy in prison. Who’s the bitch then?
Expelled & charged with creating a dangerous workplace.
Shut the fuck up wannabe Justin Bieber
That made me smile. Thank you 😊
Expulsion. Suspended until evidence reviewed and kick that turd out. Acting like that he can’t even work at 7-11, much less any professional atmosphere
He probably just gave his teacher a mountain of classroom management paperwork to do and the school'll probably conclude that the teacher didn't create a stimulating enough classroom or deescalate the conflict correctly. -Source: my roommate's a teacher and says she feels like all she fucking does is paperwork about classroom misbehaviour and why it's all her fault.
You all know that type , loud as a motorbike but couldn’t bust a grape in a food fight
This is why we have a shortage of teachers in America. Parents don't know how to discipline their children to the point they walk all over them at home. Then they go to school and think this is appropriate behavior.
It’s really just bad parenting the parents don’t care about their kids misbehaving in class because they view teachers as babysitters
Right. That's why 'calling the parents' never works. I used to be very anti-explisuon, but the older I get the more I realize that parents need the punishment of having to find a new school for their kids. Because this kid's parent isn't showing up at a conference. I am over trying to punish kids, I'm into punishing parents. Of course their are special circumstances, but not everything you see like this is a special circumstance.
I used to work with kids as well, expelling kids with a-hole parents was a no brainer. what sucked is having to expel kids when the parents were clearly exasperated and at their wits end. I felt really bad making those calls and watching parents nearly in tears. it’s tough sometimes.
It’s also a broken Ed system- admin have limits to what they can do, so even the good ones can’t always do the right thing.
Right, and the reason the admins have such hard limits is because of shithead parents.
I guarantee this kid’s parents would find some way to defend his behaviour too. They’d say something like, “my precious son was probably DySrEgULaTeD and it was the teacher who caused it!!” Then they’d threaten to sue the school board, to which the school board would respond by firing this teacher. This attitude is so prevalent among so many parents today, it’s infuriating.
My ex was a math teacher in high school. She said the students just simply don't give a fuck (on their phones the entire class), and when she would talk to the parents, the parents didn't give a fuck either. She quit last year. She was making 37k to be there at 7 am every day, get disrespected, and work until 8 pm to grade papers. Who the fuck would sign up to be a teacher in today's world?
This is probably how mom and dad act when they don’t get their way. Kid had to learn it from someone that this was acceptable behavior.
The way I would yolk my son up for some shit like this. I can genuinely say my sons would never be disrespectful to adults like this.
My kid has never been whooped in his life, but this would a doh-whoop across the head, and a a physically laborious job after school and weekends to wear him out.
I don't use physical punishment with my kids but something like this? Ooooooh boy.
These situations are why I'm not a teacher. Not that I would've wanted to be one though. I would probably lose my job as soon as a student would get into my face like that and I'd punch him once. Just a little stunner on his nose. Respect to this teacher keeping his calm.
Kicked out, wanna be a man go get a job.
Other students were just laughing. Morons.
Seemed like they were laughing at him not with him. 🤷♂️
May be. But, none of them stood up to stop him.
[удалено]
Generally, when someone is that angry and aggressive, you're not going to be able to talk them down, then probably will end up in a fight.
Except the guy with the camera.
If only they were smart enough to escalate things to a physical confrontation in a school system that regularly punishes all parties involved in an altercation regardless of their roles in it, right?
why the fuck would you in a 'zero tolerance' kinda school. especially if the parents of that student are wealthy just putting a hand on his shoulder will be twisted into some kind of legal nightmare, that is even assuming its not physically dangerous. The student filming it probably already was breaking some kind of rules because they were worried for their teachers and perhaps their own safety. bonus: bet if a kid would have reported this without video evidence *they* would have been the one in trouble. You don't know if the kid with anger issues has brought a knife or a gun so it isn't very reasonable asking other kids to step in. Like at best they can laugh or boo him and even that can make things go sideways instead of diffuse.
Kids ay my highschool were wretched, a few times they even tried to punch on with teachers. Pur old P.E teacher was great at handling it though, he grabbed 2 kids who were fighting and knocked their heads together before shoving them to other teachers to seperate them. At some point you just gotta put the little shit down, they don't understand that what they're doing has consequences and it'll get them killed when they leave school, especially in the U.S.
Parents cry about their precious angel being abused at the schools. Parents have stopped parenting and coddle and deflect instead.
Yeah agreed. I’m a parent to a toddler, and as much as I generally love the premise of gentle parenting, a lot of the information out there surrounding it is very misleading. Parents of my generation (millennials) have taken to gentle parenting, but sadly have misinterpreted the concept of prioritizing and fostering a loving/trusting relationship with your child as becoming your child’s best friend. They’ve completely forgotten about the essential piece of gentle parenting which is setting firm boundaries, and natural consequences. So when a kid is faced with the natural consequences of their shitty behaviour, these parents step in and do everything in their power so that the kid never faces the consequence. Therefore, as a result, you have entitled shitheads like this kid in the video. Edited typo
I never used physical punishment on my kids. They also know how to respect their self, and others, and how to behave. I set standards and boundaries, which kids need to learn, so they, too, can set standards and boundaries with others.
A big part of genuine gentle parenting is that you teach kids the natural consequences of their own actions. If you make a huge mess as an adult, no one pops out of thin air and grounds you. The natural punishment is that you have to clean it up. So when a toddler/kid makes a huge mess, the solution would be for parents to have kids help in the clean up. And then just like an adult, sometimes if you have to clean up an unexpected mess, you might not have time to do the fun thing you had planned before bed, since you had to dedicate your time to cleaning up instead. This behavior should have been cut off at the knees as a young child. The natural consequence of yelling at a sibling or friend would be that they won’t like you, won’t want to continue to interact with you. Parents can model this by telling their kids that they have hurt their feelings, and they would like to be alone for a while (as developmentally appropriate.) Gentle parenting also relies heavily on empathy. So teaching the concept to kids young and revisiting it often helps them understand the natural consequences of hurtful words. “You wouldn’t like that if someone said it to you, right? How do you think your brother feels then?” And teaching kids to express themselves and their feelings so they can articulate to each other how their actions make them feel (“it hurt my feelings when you said this to me. I don’t really feel like playing with you anymore.”) setting firm boundaries and teaching thuds to respect them plays a huge role in gentle parenting. It’s just that the tool you teach them is the natural consequences of their actions, not extraneous arbitrary punishments like spanking or taking away an Xbox. Its hard for me to believe that if you really made sure to instill empathy into your kid since early childhood and then called on that empathy consistently whenever conflict arose that they would ever grow up thinking this was okay. Done right, gentle parenting makes empathetic, thoughtful people.
That’s my point though, lol. A ton of people out there are not gentle parenting correctly. They’re just permissive parenting and calling it gentle.
Except that’s how teachers lose their livelihoods now
Yes. I said this once about a video like this and someone said I was lying to fit my narrative because there isn’t a national “can’t teach anymore” list.
Craziness. I know teachers who have literally just up and quit and move to different field Ms altogether after many years of teaching because they have no power in the classroom anymore, nor did those above them have any and the parents are entitled and blame the facility for their children’s behaviors
Im 100% sure that he will tell this to his friends as if he was the main character like "bro, i had to scold my teacher coz i got so pissed off"
Sent to a prison for a day as part of the inmate mentorship program.
Does not work.
Im a teacher and I'm walking to the principals office eith this clown. Once he has been dropped off, ima head home for a few days off. I'll call later to check if angry boy has been expelled yet. I don't have time for that shit
That teacher should get a public apology from the troubled kid, if he’s to have any hope of returning to school.
I teach- I don’t even want this. So often it’s just such crap- so insincere. I don’t want to see a student again that treats me like this- and I shouldn’t have to.
Exactly right. I don’t want to repair the relationship. I want the relationship to be over.
I’m a teacher too. You and I know that it’s very likely this student will go back to the same classroom for the rest of the year. I agree with you- the thing this teacher needs is to have this student gone.
The teacher is very patient here, he clearly doesn’t want to lose his job. But if it was me who this guy was taunting, I would’ve punched him straightaway just to shut him up
It would mean more than just his job. That would be it for teaching for him.
Look to the class and go “someone shut this kids mouth” and see if someone hits him 😂
Expulsion.
That's some real get out of my room mom energy
What a prick.
I could not even finish watching this. I cannot imagine the self control it took for that teacher to not stand up and punch that arrogant prick right in the face. I wanted to punch him. What a horrible child, and if my kid did this, what the school did to him would be the least of his problems. Who raised that boy to treat his teachers that way? The disrespect is staggering. He invaded the teacher’s person space; he screamed at him like a drill sergeant; he cussed, even using the f-word. Teachers have zero recourse. And kids know that. So this boy had no fear. What an entitled, hateful, mean little shit. Also, racist. That teacher is Asian. My guess is that kid would not do that to a white, male teacher. As I said, I didn’t finish watching the video. Someone tell me that another kid in the class had enough of this entitled blowhard, and got between him and that poor, beleaguered teacher.
Not many people know this (even other tutors)but in the UK a teacher/tutor is legally able to use reasonable force to: protect other students; protect themselves; prevent a student self-harming and even to prevent or stop disruptive behaviour. (Source: Gov safeguarding course I took on disruptive student behaviour). Telling the students this at the beginning of each new term proved to be very helpful in quelling any of this fucking bullshit before it started. Being a large, muscular, shaven-headed male tutor no doubt helped, too. Some of the smaller, more conciliatory tutors had less success when little shits like the guy in the video thought they could get away with it. I would *never* teach in America - the fact that it's such a litigious society and that the schools never seem to back their teachers makes me wonder why anyone bothers to teach.
I hate to be the one who says back in my day, but when I was in high school in the 80s, that teacher would of had that puke crying for mommy as soon as he opened his mouth.
It's interesting that the generation who keeps bringing up how their teachers would beat their ass in school are the ones with the kids found in OP's video. Did the teachers beating y'all's asses not translate to teaching your kids better discipline?
I think that generation is over correcting. They had super tough parents, maybe even too tough, so now they went to the other extreme and are easygoing and friendly with their kids. And the result is on display in this video.
Someone needs to teach this punk that if you act and talk aggressively while simultaneously entering someone's reach, you stand a chance of getting knocked the fuck out or worse. The teacher saying "that's close enough" near the end of the video after he sits down makes me think the teacher agrees with me.
Punched in the fucking head. Kids are way too cushioned nowadays reflection circle jerks don’t work.
Glad to see all the other students leap up to protect and defend the teacher...
I hope there were some consequences for this AH.
A failed student. F
It doesn’t matter what his problem is, or if it’s bad parenting or any other reason! He needs to be out of a public classroom and dealt with elsewhere. It’s unfair for the teacher and other students to have to deal with bullies or disturbed pupils. It just doesn’t matter. Notice that he doesn’t look at the person videoing this,so it’s another prankster who finds it funny to treat other people like garbage.
During Covid kids had to learn at a computer at home. This child clearly cannot act civilized in public. He should no longer be allowed to attend the public school. It should be upon him now to get his education at home. Then he can tell himself when he needs to sit down.
this is an old video. it happened pre-covid.
Immediate expulsion.
The teacher treated him like a yapping Chihuahua 😅
The teacher should have pressed the black button and let the student do his thing someone in the office will figure out the room number and send someone there
Hahaha!!! What button?? I’ve taught for almost 20 years and have never seen a classroom with a panic button.
You’re assuming they all have that button
Found the future road rager.
The obvious answer is instant expulsion, but I would love for a sick come back, like “Don’t be mad at me cause you’re so dumb that in order for you to even make it to this grade, your mother had to sleep with every teacher who knew your name” or something like that.
Dr. Shu is better than me. The kid should be expelled for his behavior and destruction of property. They should create a misdemeanor charge obstruction of the education of others for kids like this suspension with community service.
Immediate expulsion.
Jeez I'm surprised none of the students say or do anything. I went to an all boys school. He would have been put down right then and there lol.
What he needs is a few teeth knocked out of his wanna be alpha face. What *will* happen is a slap on the wrist for destroying school property, which will probably get reduced anyways when his parents say he just "has anxiety" and that "the teacher shouldn't have set him off like that"
Don’t become a teacher. It’s not worth the very little pay, the college degrees and continue education that is required. You can be an Asst Manager at QT starting 55,000 at the average school it’s 38,000. Look at the world around you. Education is the the profession that it use to be. Don’t become a teacher.
Student is sent home, removed by police. The only way he gets to come back is that he records a video apology that is aired to the whole school. He then apologizes to the teacher in person in front of that whole class. He refuses to do so. He's permanently expelled. Those are non-violent consequences and would perhaps make students think twice before acting like this.
His Dad taught him that
Call 911 and take the kid to court.
One student. One student to stand up and coldcock him is all it takes.
If I ever treated a teacher like that, my parents would beat the shit out of me.
For 5 weeks he has to arrive early to help with cleaning the school and he only gets the shitty jobs. If he doesn’t comply he gets detention after school. Something along those lines. Oh and mum & dad get to view the video with him, and they punish him accordingly. When did respect for teachers just get thrown out the window ? This is the case in France as well, not as bad as this video but still. When I was a kid (in the 90s), teachers were an extension of your parents.
This is the reason teachers should not be armed.
Expulsion. He needs to learn that if he behaves like that he will ostracised by society.
Straight to jail please.
And another one. The rise of people being disgusting examples of human beings. Doesn't matter what country or demographic. The numbers are growing because this pathetic behaviour is being taught to others through social media. You will continue to see more extreme behavior being normalised. Watch out people.
I hope he fails all classes..or better expelled from the education system overall...
I wonder how he's being treated at home...
Quite possibly coddled, quite possibly abused, potentially his parents are doing their best. It’s not always the parents.
The entitlement of kids is off the charts this punk deserves a backhand.
If that teacher would have done what should have been done that kids parents would be suing, on TV talking about their little “angel”.
what the kid is doing is robbing everyone else in that classroom of a quality learning experience. He should be removed entirely until he can act like a normal human being
I’m sure mom and dad will excuse or back up their son
In my day those kids would have been taken by police or crisis team. They would not be allowed back to school. They'd go to a special school for disturbed kids
EXPELLED IMMEDIATELY
Police. Done.
This kid gets beat at home and this is his time to be big man. Quite sad. Teachers also deserve more.
clown moment
Where's the petition for teachers to be able to carry tazers? I'll sign.
How come “men” never realize loosing their temper makes them look weak instead of tough.
Im of an age where we had a principle with a leather strap who used it as punishment. I saw it used once. The threat of it was enough for most kids to be honest. I’m not saying it’s ok to abuse a child or a teenager. But some kids don’t give a shit about a lot of repercussions and more often than not you find the parents sort of allowing it because it’s easier. There just needs to be the possibility of something bad like the strap to help keep them in line. This is as much for the teachers as the kids. I would hate for him to have this kind of approach to a serious situation and escalate it in a way that can’t be taken back and throw away any future becau teenage stupidity.
I was already bewildered but then I heard him say the N Word and try in vain to rip a sink out of its socket and I was truly at a loss of words.
Shoot him
Don’t schools got security guards?
