Teacher teaches a student about the hands.

[PACOX]

In my country we got the so called "technical schools" were kids who aren't particularly good in socialising, rationalising or academics can go and be gangstas at construction sites and workshops, while simultaneously learning some useful craft in hopes they don't end-up having to make money in less favourable ways, is there any equivalent to this in the US?

We definitely have those in the US.

Half of them just allow kids with problems to trade tips and tricks.

Why is the student trash? He can't be helped? What if he has home issues and has an abusive parent which leads to his behavior? Why do people not care to find the soruceof issues and fix it?

How would you help him?

[RickJamesLich]

US school system is totally broken.

I gotta say here that this is absolutely a parent issue and while schools are expected to help teens grow into adults, there are some parents that do such an awful job at raising their kids that the school has little to no chance of helping. You can only tell so much about a video but it seems even the other students thought the teen was an asshole, there's always this belief that "everyone can be helped/reached" but some people don't want to be helped and this teen seems like one of those people.

[Themius]

Because he is trash. Forced castration on his parents (= source of issue) would have fixed this, but it's a bit late for that. You can't abort a 16-year old.

mmmhm because how dare a teen in the more turbulent time of their entire life make a mistake.

Therapy. Find the source of his anger.

That wasn't "making a mistake".

That was being a stupid fucking degenerate.

[Themius]

Depends on the district you're in. In some areas the behavior is so bad that teachers just have to put up with nonsense like this because the office is overwhelmed with more serious behavior issues. No excusing hitting the kid, but oh my god it was awesome.

A quick lookup shows how ridiculous things must be in this school. The average SAT score is 823 out of 1600, which is in the 18th percentile. Yet the school has a graduation rate of 92 percent because the system is now designed to just socially promote every single kid. That's how you end up with kids like this in the building, who don't give a crap because they know they're not going to learn anything but they're going to pass anyway. What's amazing is the kids in the classroom are all standing up for the teacher, which means this is a problem child who is just left in the mainstream class day after day, making everyone else miserable, because the system is just trying to push him through and pretend he can be a graduate.

US school system is totally broken.

How can you fix home issues like this?

By the time a kid is a teenager and is behaving this way, the battle is mostly over. He's going to need a come to Jesus moment as an adult to reform, it's not going to happen while he is a kid. I know someone who adopted a kid at age 10, and the kid had a history of abuse. The kid had serious issues and the adoptive parent was wonderfully supportive and involved. The kid continued to act out, then puberty happened, and the rage really started to come out. He had to be removed from the home because he was consistently threatening and attacking his adoptive parent.

I'm hearing a lot of "all hope is lost, never mind trying to do something"

[Kokosz]

The kid called a black man a N, so basically he's a Nazzi and you CAN punch Nazzi.

It was a mistake regardless of what you want to call it.

The kid looks latino, highly doubt there is anything racist about him saying nigga.

This goes way beyond making a mistake. The student knew he could deliberately provoke the teacher and that if the teacher retaliated at all, the teacher would wind up getting in trouble. The kid is 14, let's not pretend he doesn't have an idea of right/wrong at this point in his life. Whatever the solution to fixing this teen is, it really isn't going to be coming from the school, as it's clear that the kid doesn't respect authority and structure.

[Naked Snake]

How do you fail to beat up a kid?

Latinos aren't black.

[Minikin]

Don't give em any ideas, but true you know they will come storming into the thread sooner or later and post an incoherent tirade exactly what you mentioned..

OT: The days of respecting ones elders are long gone unfortunately, one thing though can you imagine the baying for blood if the teacher was white..

This.

I don't get why the kid is talking like he was lobotomized. Who the hell talks like that

[Themius]

Latinos aren't black.

Lol Latinos can be black white asian mixed native. He is pretty dark so he could be a Caribbean Latino like Dominican or Puerto Rican. If he’s Dominican they’re literally often half or more black.

You don’t know much about Latinos if you say something like that

[Minikin]

The teacher shouldn't have hit at all.

But once he did, he should have decapitated that annoying piece of shit.

Yeap. His career was done the moment he swung that first punch. Should have committed and finished what he started.

[Kraenen]

Do you think teenage hormones have anything to do with it as well?

Latinos are from Latin America.

[Kraenen]

Probably had a developmental period that poisoned his brain.

While I disagree with your view on this thread, props for pointing the latino thing out. Really we should stop using Hispanic and Latino as racial category when one's a linguistic/cultural classification and the other ones a geographic term.

[Twix]

Student just wanted some daddy love.

[Dellis0991]

That kid deserved the beating, I'm went to school in one of the most worst public school systems in America and we had kids just like him, we had security but they wasn't omnipotent so teachers unfortunately did have to play security every once in a while. I seen kids outright get violent with zero provocation, it sucks to see that kids still act this way.
