No one messed with him again, at least while I was there.
However, he'd likely face jailtime in today's society.
My vice principal threw a kid out the window after the punk tried to hit him. That was nearly 30 years ago.
yeah my husband has fond memories of a teacher/wrestling coach breaking up a fight and dropping both of the students! Absolutely, jail for them now.
So glad my girls are grown women.
Same here. Had 2 teachers go toe to toe with 2 asshole kids in high school. We were teens once and there should be ocassions you should get your ass kicked to learn your lesson. And we were (until now) a private Christian academy LOL.
Now there are video cams inside each classroom not really for protective reasons but for legal ones too.
In the 80s, a friend of mine was teaching high school. A kid (bigger) came up to him, called him an obscenity & spat in his face. Without thinking, he slugged the student, stretching him out on the ground. It was a conservative place. There were a lot of witnesses. The school wasn’t upset - but my friend figured he’d better find a different way of making a living!
Our Principal and Vice Principals were all WWII vets and really tough guys - One Vice Principal was a Marine on Okinawa and the other was a POW in Germany. They didn’t take crap from any students.
I once bearhugged and nearly tackled one of my students who tried to run out of class and join a fight. This was 1988 in a Detroit high school. He struggled until I softly said that I would break his arm. Later, my department head gave me a pat on the back.
