As an education professional, I feel that is a good rule of thumb......

:lol:

I think that most teachers that engage in these types of behaviors on a regular basis are nothing more than bullies. They love the feeling of power they get by intimidating children. And I hate bullies.

do you expell the child over something so minor that it warranted only a detention because the parents refuse to comply? what if the parent is willing but does not have the ability to show up between the hours of 3pm and 5pm because of work?

That would be kinda like not showing up for traffic court. Say it originally only warranted a $50 failure to yield traffic ticket. Then you don?t show up for your court case. Boom! Bigger fine. Rescheduled court date. Now don?t show up for the second one. Bigger boom?they now come looking for you with a cop car. Huge fine + Jail time.
alot of these are single family homes or homes in which both parents not only work. but some work more than 1 job.

So you?ve just given some great reasons that the brat kid should behave, to keep the parents from having to come in.

I'm not a parent, so it's not like I really have to worry about it.

That being said, if my brother were to call me and tell me something like this had happened to one of my nieces or nephews, I'd spend a few nights in jail to prove a point.

A point. That if your niece or nephew does something wrong, you will go pound on someone to instill the idea that they did the right thing. And that you are willing to back that idea as far as possible. To the point of seriously injuring someone: possibly (probably) yourself. Then you would not only spend time in the hospital, but spend this time under armed guard. You would also make any jury looking at punishing this teacher look at him / her with more mercy than should be warranted.

Perfect.

Not at all. I will instill in my niece or nephew that adults have no right to abuse them, no matter what their job title is. And that they have adults looking out for them and making sure it doesn't happen again.

Then what would you do, Einstein?

There's a ton of options that don't require something stupid like violence. If he's not a regular offender punish the rest of the class and hope peer pressure takes care of business. Send his ass to an adminstrator. If he refuses to move, call security. If there's no security notify adminstrators immediately and inform them they may need to handle this. It isn't like the teacher had only a moment to assess the problem and act. He had more than enough time to calmly and rationally handle this without putting himself or anyone else in a situation that could resort in a child's injury.

This isn't a new and unique problem in schools today. We had kids and situations like this in our school. Never once was a teacher ignorant enough to lay a hand on them, and every time the situation was resolved fairly quickly.

Resorting to throwing something at a kid is nothing more than a sign the teacher is a fool and isn't fit to do his job. All it would take is for him to miss, hit another student, and potentially injury that student, and then open himself and the district to a nasty lawsuit. I guess asking for basic common sense is too much nowadays.

little timmy was late for class by 20 seconds. was the 4th kid that day to do so and to prove a point the teacher gave little timmy a detention. single parent home. parent works 2 jobs just to get by. puts in roughly 70 to 80 hours a week. has a grandparent babysit most of the time because they are just scraping by and can't afford child care.

the new "parent must share in the punishment" rule has just come into effect so the school takes a hard line on it. parent tries to work with the school in order to set something up. the school isn't able to bring in someone on the hours the parent has available. student serves detention, parent is unable to due to work. misses first, now has original punishment as well as a fine that they can not afford. misses second. the next morning they are arrested at their place of employement and loose not only that job because of the disruption caused by being arrested at their place of employeement. but also lost their second job. parent is in jail, is unemployeed, will loose their apartment, and the child that is currently a ward of the state will likely stay that way.
