As usual, we don't get to see what transpired before this. Until I see the entire encounter, and hear what was said, and hear what was going through the Administrators mind, I will reserve judgement. But from the little I've seen, it looks like the Administrator felt she had to restrain the student because she thought the student posed a threat (possibly even to himself). If the kid got away and hurt someone, the parents would be asking "Why didn't anyone stop him?"

I wish we knew why he was being suspended. That seems to be an important missing part of information.

Right, and they needed an administrator to help escort the student to detention. Sounds like the kid is a handful which is on the parents yet she is calling for case managers and counselors at the school, someone who cares.

Its school. They are there to learn why do students need case managers. Seems to me what some of the students (and their parents) need is a foot up their bum.

What is a teacher supposed to do when a kid is trying to leave campus?

I don't have a problem with her handling him to stop him.


The parent shouldn't either.

Because this is the new norm. This is what teachers have to deal with.
This is how it is in school. Their child can do no wrong.

This is why I let my Teaching Cert go "inactive" and didn't transfer to SC when I moved.

I agree it was more of a rhetorical question, parents first thought is what are you doing to my child when it should be what did my child do.....

That video...that is a common occurrence in schools. People just don't see them.
I stuck to elementary and middle school.

HS..I let them bolt the class and just called the office. I was NOT dealing with them directly..not at that age.

You've seen videos of HS kids just whacking at the teacher.

That is what school used to be. When I was in school the bigger fear was going home if you got in trouble at school.

It's the complete opposite now.

I live in AZ 8 months a year. Laveen isn't an ideal spot to live. Here you go //www.city-data.com/neighborhoo...Laveen-AZ.html An average home is $130K (it's a poor area). Considering the admin was called in, I predict the student is well-known at the school.

If that happened to my kid, I'd mandate he personally apologizes to everyone involved.

Yep. In fairness, that's still the case in some homes. But at that kid's house. He can do no wrong.
