What started this altercation?
Could be something pretty bad. Kids (and adults) with behavioral problems are very good at identifying your weaknesses/triggers and exploiting them...although it could have been nothing, the guy could have just snapped.
Literally no way to tell based off of five-second video footage.
People should first understand what an "alternative" school is.
It is basically where you go when you are such a terrible person you get expelled from regular school.
You don't get sent to these places for bad grades.
get some balls and go back and fuck that fool up. whats wrong with you? 20 years later and your jaw still hurting? man the fuck up already.

which could equal a lot of things.
you get in 3 fights one year you going, even if you didnt start them. literally somebody attacks you and you get in the same trouble as the attacker. which is why i told my boy if somebody starts shit with him, try to end it in one fight and go hard and dont stop for nothing. just make sure u dont hit a teacher.
you get caught with alcohol or marijauna 1st time you going to alternative school... which is just silly. high school is full of harder drugs. why pick on the small bs and ruin peoples lives over it?
as u can see im not a fan of these alternative schools. im more interested in people be separated by their intelligence level not their ability to follow mundane rules. i will bet you my life, incidents of violence and drugs will be lower in the intelligent group if we stop grouping promising young students with students that we know are garbage. and for the garbage? well they get what they want. to hang with the homies and do jack shit.
Why not? I would definitely defend this guys actions if additional footage showed the teacher's actions were justified. Why rush to judge when not all the evidence is shown? What if the kid punched him in the balls or had just been disarmed of a weapon? What if he was assaulting another student or sexually assaulting a female student?
Context is important before deciding innocence or guilt.

First thought: He mentally broke down, couldn't take the stress anymore.
Sad but I hope that's the case.
