I believe teachers should act in self defense. If you put your hands on a teacher, that is open season for a ass whopping. I was in high school when a kid (he was just bad) put his hands on my English teacher and she flipped his ass. One minute he was on his feet, the next....feet in the air, the next minute back was on the ground, I was impressed. Older white lady put in the business. They interviewed all of us who were in the class room. I told the principle I didn't know what incident he was talking about. Told me the other kids said I was in the room, I said yes, I was in the room doing school work.
Was the only one who didn't say shyt because he put his hands on her first and thought he deserved it. After that day, school went really smooth until graduation.
