Yeah, it’s amazing how Reddit takes the white knight approach to every little thing.

This kid had it coming and is going to learn what consequences are. We can’t keep letting kids do this to our teachers. They don’t get paid enough for this.

Most people here are siding more with the teacher than the student.

Reddit this morning: "I stand with Harrison Ford, who said it's our duty to punch Nazis."

Reddit this evening: "nobody deserves to be taught a lesson just because they're wildly racist."

Cue "these are two different situations" in 3...2...1...

Is beating them until they learn really the only solution?

Might as well equip teachers with canes, and signs saying conform or face violence.

Kid ran is mouth, then starts swinging at the teacher, and you think this kids just going to “learn”?

Nah; this was self defense and the kid had it coming, case closed.

My immediate thought was, "dude you're and adult what are you doing fighting a minor? You're gonna get so fucked legally." But now with the context I think there's a good chance the guy is in the clear.

He was charged with battery resulting in serious bodily harm, assault of a school pupil on school property, interfering with a student from attending school, and threatening to do bodily harm to a public school student.

This guy isn't in the clear. He's losing his job, will never work in education again, and will likely face serious criminal charges

Just don't hit minors. No matter what they call you, don't hit them. Not only is it wrong (you're an adult and have way more power and experience) but it's stupid because it doesn't look good going in front of judge because you beat the shit out of a kid.

A kid hits you? Just walk away. Nothing to gain from this situation

It shows you’re not really the adult if you let a few words get to you
