Cool, thats more like it.
I said that speaking from the perspective of an individual who worked in the education system for years when I was younger, has a mother who was a public school teacher for years before she moved up into administrative levels of education and the school board, and as someone who worked years dealing with youth in behavioral programs and special education environments.
Adherence to structure is critical in fostering learning AND safety in a classroom. You can not make that optional for students.
Would you agree or disagree that force is warranted in a situation where a student has not only become a disruption to the learning process, but has verbally and physically refused to stop becoming disruptive? If you are of the opinion that NO force is warranted, I have to say that opening the door for even more volatile situations inside the classroom to come.
I will grant you that none of us know as of yet the intricate details of the class, school, student, and what exactly preceded this exchange. I think we're all taking some liberties with our assumptions. But given what the present narrative is, that a student was told multiple times to put away her phone, stop disrupting the learning environment, or leave the classroom, and was given multiple opportunities to comply, and still chose to blatantly defy authority, physical force was more than appropriate. He didn't beat the sh*t out this kid, he removed her from her seat while she was resisting his attempts.
There are zero parallels between this situation and trigger happy devils with badges killing unarmed citizens, other than the fact that this a cop doing this. If this were a teacher's assistant doing this I'd be saying the same thing.
