My grandmother was head cook of my grade school... I always got 2 beating when I got in trouble at school.
My parents divorced when I was 4. If I ever got in trouble at one parent’s house, I’d get a second dose of punishment upon returning home to the other parent’s home. My parents were unified in their discipline.
This is one of the bottom five rated non-alternative high schools in Kentucky. It is ranked lower even than quite of few alternative schools. As of last testing, only 17% of students are proficient in math and only 36% are proficient in reading. Pre-Covid 68% of the students received free lunch and 6% reduced lunch.
I know mom says the reason the kid hit the teacher is that he has PTSD. Well, the teacher probably has PTSD also. We do not pay teachers who work in schools like this enough, they should be receiving higher pay than teachers in other schools. Test scores that low are not really about teacher quality, although they do tend to become the resting place for crappy teachers, it’s primarily about parent quality. The issue won’t be fixed until we acknowledge that.

More proof that the "ass-beating generation" produced better young adults than did the "time out generation."
The problem is that too many parents replaced butt whoppings with nothing. You don’t need to beat a kid to make them behave but you do need to consistently discipline them in some manner.

That is the issue. A kid doesn't have to be beaten but they need to learn that there are consequences to their actions. It is a sad state of affairs but in so many cases the "kids" up their no fear no thought attitudes to the point where they hit a teacher or go running with a street gang and when they get called out for their bad behavior like when this teacher grabbed the lil darling or worse when he had already been shot and luckily survived where is the aha moment?
He should be grateful he did not die when he was shot and he should reconsider his friends and approach to life.
He should also reconsider that it is not ok to hit someone because they might just hit back but what will likely happen in this situation is the protesters will carry the torch for the kid and pressure the school to fire the teacher and the kid will have "won" with never having learned any lesson.
The sad thing is someday he will "lose" when he hits a rival gangster or even a cop.
Kids need discipline and that is sorely lacking these days.
"To be told that you're just another boy that's going to be shot dead, I could see where that could trigger his PTSD," his mother, Erica Strane, added to WBRB.
If the teacher, who is supposed to be some kind of leader or source of encouragement sat there and told some kid he's going to end up dead, then i can see how a child could be triggered. That type of statement is just conditioning (black) kids for the school-to-prison pipeline.
One of my favorite memories from high school is when the vice principal finally gave it to one of the school bullies. It was a girl, a mean girl. She was walking out of the cafeteria past Mr. G and she said something nasty. He tried to stop her and grabbed her arm and she took a hard swing at him. He grabbed her by the ponytail and swung her around against the wall and pushed her down to her knees. She was so humiliated she was crying. Mr. G was real smooth the way he did it, and we all applauded. I'll bet she got some hell when she got home too.
After that she was still a jerk, but she was better. And we all respected Mr. G a little more because she really needed something like that to happen, as nothing else had worked.
Was pleasently suprised that race wasnt mentioned, and then it was, and is the whole narratibe. Sad. What we got is a fkd up student and an over reactive teacher. But now we have a racial incident.
