NY Teacher beat up by First Grader

I’m not sure why the press is snickering at this. The little shit got the guy in the knee and ankle multiple times. If you’ve seen a six year old throw a fit then you know how unhinged they can be.

I’m assuming this guys injuries are backed up by medical reports. A broken ankle and meniscus tear is no joke.

Sure, he’s a big guy. If he touched one hair on that brat’s head he’d be in prison. How can you defend yourself? Schools these days are terrified of lawsuits. They call the cops to deal with unruly kids because its too risky to discipline them.

Some more delinquents that our schools have to deal with. 2nd grade. :eek:

What the heck is going on with our kids? My 2nd grade classmates got in trouble for pushing another kid in the hall or spitballs. Not orally raping other kids in the bathroom.

This headline would be easier to understand if it read:

Teacher beat[en] up by New York First Grader

:confused: OK, if you say so.

Seems obvious that a NY Teacher’s student would also be from NY.

I posted only because the press had been making fun of the teacher. “How could such a big guy let a kid do that?”, They ask.

They forget that adults can’t fight back against kids. We’re automatically the bad guy and get charged.

Don’t they train teachers in how to handle stuff like what to do if a six year old starts a fist fight with you?

Yes. They teach them “Don’t get sued.”

Turn a water hose on them? :smiley:

Kids with ADHD, or other issues can get pretty violent when they freak out. I’m not sure how teachers are trained to deal with them. Obviously no one wants the child hurt, but its important that the kid doesn’t hurt someone else either.

Who knows what was going on in the days (which are not as far away as we may think) when it wasn’t “proper” to talk about (or even hint at) these things…

The kid should grow up. It was fourth grade before I bit a teacher.

And she totally deserved it.

I chuckled at the thread title.

Not really. That kind of training isn’t necessary for mainstream teachers. Crisis-management techniques are often used by special ed teachers, certainly. But small neurotypical kids don’t generally start physical altercations with teachers. This kid may end up receiving an IEP or being transferred to an alternative school. Who knows, perhaps he’s on the autism spectrum or has a personality disorder.
