The dad didn't beat up the teacher because his kid "got in trouble", he did it because his son came home with bruises on his neck from where the teacher choked him up against the lockers, the whole time the kid was crying, telling him he couldn't breathe. The principal had to step in and stop him.

So the teacher just started choking the kid for no reason...right. Again great way to show you are against violence by going and beating someone up. I hope the kids dad spent a long time in jail.

No, the teacher had a reason...the kid was on the basketball team and hadn't turned in his homework that day. Seriously.

I think the situation is as simple as this:

Scenario #1: My kid won't shut up in class, causes a disturbance, gets sent to the office and I get a call at work...he knows he's in for a world of hurt when he gets home and he knows he should be.

Scenario #2: My kid won't shut up in class, causes a disturbance, and the teacher hurls something at his face or otherwise assaults him...he knows that I'll be in front of the Principal, Superintendant, School Board, etc as quick as possible to defend him and he knows he's still in a world of hurt when he gets home and he still knows he should be.

The latter here is what happened. We don't know how these parents disciplined their child for this, but we do know they are sticking up for him (as they should). Point is 12 year old kids, especially boys, will get into trouble. I would expect the adult to be more responsible and follow the guidelines established by the school district, which I'm sure doesn't include throwing a book at a student's face. When those established guidelines are broken I'm going to fight (not literally) as far as I can for my kid.

I agree completely.

I honestly don't know what I would do if any adult purposely hurt my child. I don't know if I would be able to keep my cool.

Teachers shouldn't throw anything at a student unless they feel that they feel that their safety is being threatened.

Choking a kid is completely fucked up... but throwing a book, that's just whining.
In my first post I mentioned a teacher that used to throw all sorts of stuff... it was bad behavior on his part and showed a very clear character flaw, but it was hardly anything "traumatic" and 99% of the time the kids deserved what they got. And I guarantee you, he also got fucked with by the school. In the end, all parties learned their lesson.

If the teacher is picking up musical stands and throwing them (and away from kids), that's one thing, but if he throws it at a kid, that's something totally different. Unless of course as Sushi said, it is in self-defense. Similarly, I wouldn't have a problem with a football coach flinging a helmet across the locker room at halftime to get his players' attention after a bad half of football, but wouldn't stand for him to throw that same helmet AT a kid because he wasn't executing properly.

Music stands aren't very aerodynamic... never made it across the big room. But things like his baton, wallet, car key, etc., etc. often reached the target. Though his aim was notoriously poor. I also think we had the benefit of using the music stands as shields.
It was pretty funny looking back at it ... and, I'll reiterate, he caught a LOT of flak from the school and parents every time it happened and learned to better control his anger.
