The problem here is that this man, the teacher, is the authority - and this child has gone way, way, beyond being removed. He’s no longer disrespecting the classroom, he's actively attacking the teacher (shouting the n word and hitting him with a basketball).

Frankly this child doesn’t seem to recognise or respect authority at all. Sometimes this here, below, is necessary. :look:

I see your problem solver and raise you

All I wanna know is who got the uzi? Don't let me down, @Crackers Phinn .

I cannot stand disrespectful kids. One of my favorite accounts in the bible is when that she bear tore them kids up for disrespecting God's prophet, lol. :lachen: Another one is when wicked Queen Jezebel got served and pushed out the window. :eek::lachen: I hate violence but, violence has it's place. :blush2:

He hit the man with that ball, then kept at it. Teachers have feelings. The expectation that we take abuse day in and day out and not respond is completely unrealistic.
Another reason I'll never work with that population...
I've worked with this population and will never again. The teacher should have walked out the room and been simply facing a write up for leaving the kids unattended. I guess he wanted to leave his job that day. I feel empathy for what he had to endure. Teachers need far more support and this is what the consequences are.

Whew lordt. I realllllllly wish he had chosen to walk away. When I worked in a school in a rougher part of the city, I felt my blood pressure rising one time with this one lil girl deciding to call me out my name. I calmly stepped out of the room and called for the security guard down the hall cause I felt the spirit of throwing hands coming down on me. She was escorted out yelling all kinds of profanities, but we actually had a wonderful intervention set up later by our social worker in which she apologized. Our relationship was great after that.

It’s not for the faint of heart and any young black folks I can catch the ear of, I tell them to stay far, far away from teaching. Particularly young bw because we seem to have an inclination towards these service careers. Not to sound cliche, but societal norms of decency and civility are all the way eroded and you can’t fix the myriad of social ills these kiddos bring into the classroom. #freeriley
I tell all my young black women associates and my daughter to stay far the frnk away from teaching. Glad I left that environment. smdh

Would this apply for private schools as well? I know that some are better than others, but I'm just curious.

The lack of good family structure in low-income, minority populations is really going to cause things to get a lot worse before it ever gets better, because if what's seen in this thread is the typical type of abuse teachers endure, there will be few left very soon.

Sadly it appears the minority teachers are the ones being abused or it’s the only videos being published

Hmmm good point. I am not wondering about that. I know its anecdotal, but if I see white adults in videos, they are the aggressors...like the white resource officer who flipped the girl out of her desk. In general, black and brown kids videos show their aggression towards black people. I saw a video of a girl student last year pushing (and when that didnt get her the attention she wanted) and swinging on an admin. The admin defended herself until 2 male students and a resource officer broke it up.

Pretty soon more and more good people will leave the teaching profession because they cant deal with these kids and these parents on top of the low pay. This is on top of more schools closing and bigger class sizes due to budget issues. Scary times ahead for people with kids.

yep....so glad mine has 4 more years in high school and the other is at an HBCU. I teach as well so far we have not had any incidents like that, that I am aware of plus it's not many of us black teachers in my division.

If one can find a food private school where the idealogy matches yours and the pay isn’t abysmal, then I say go for it. Usually the behavior is much better because the parents care. On the flip side, the kids can be entitled and the parents even worse. Your life can still be made a living hell. I just say stay away from teaching.
