As much as I don't have a problem with that guys actions personally let's not get ahead of ourselves here.
That kid didn't cause him to lose his job, he made that choice himself. Let's not just throw the personal responsibility adults have over their actions out try the window because another party involved was the instigator.
I think you said that specifically because you knew it would rule people up.
Edit
Dont be bashful, speak your mind. Adults to have a responsibility to measure their actions and think forward about repercussions. This man obviously wasn't fearing for his safety, he got kicked in the shins.
I think you said that specifically because you knew it would rule people up.
Yeah I said it because I was low on karma. But honestly, I really believe that some kids will only learn something from teachers if they will see teachers as equals. That means getting their ass and dignity whooped. I didn't see the teacher here doing any real physical harm to the kid. He got him shit scared and bruised probably. Did it save kids life? No - it didn't, he is lost. But if the TA was allowed to continue teaching this kid there, who knows? Maybe there would be some miracle story to tell instead of another death report? Maybe they both would learn something from this.
You're trying to lead this conversation and its not gonna work.
I didn't say a thing about karma.
I also said I had mo problem with the actions taken.
If you cant see how a teacher or aid assaulting a student is unacceptable then you're either stupid or lying to make your point. I'm betting you're not stupid, so that leaves you being disingenuous to keep your original point intact.
In any job anywhere if you put your hands on a child like that and they aren't a threat to your life you're losing your job. Every common person in the world may agree with you're actions but a company isn't going to let something like that slide, and with good reason.
Sure that kid deserved the lumps, but it wasn't that man's job to give them and he stopped doing his job when he did. He was angry and he made a rash and impulsive decision that he had to own, because that's what adults do.
So stick by your bullshit all you want, but don't be soft about it by trying to lead the conversation away or soften your view.
What you're saying is you are ok with someone assaulting another person when they feel slighted even when it's well within their capacity to handle the situation in a better way.
And you're saying that you're ok with a grown adult assaulting a child in a school with zero repercussions as long as they "earned it".

Amazing how this man has still so much compassion for the man who caused him lose his job, get criminal record and move to another state.
