from the observations I've made over the last few years, I've come to the conclusion that people who use the internet are like women... you can pay $1 million for a swiss army knife that does ABSOLUTELY everything and they'll never speak to you again... or you could get her a $500 diamond ring and not even a judge and priest can keep her away from you.
I think the saying goes "useful is not sexy"
or something like that
Obviously the student had a problem with the teacher.
I was involved in a similar situation a few yrs ago in highschool.
Sure the student did whatever you wanna call what he did, but the kids that cause problems like these in school today are not born this way. It takes time and torment to bring someone to this point and even more to go further. I don't have a degree in sociology or physchiatry but I made many observations through my education and it's beyond obvious: THE PARENTS AND EDUCATORS ARE FAILING TO DO THEIR JOBS.
I'm not trying to single out people or pass blame, this is fact. My mother was a teacher and there are still a good few out there that truly care about their students and make a difference but the majority ignore discipline problems, sometimes promoting them, and do only what they must to make it through the day and get UNDERPAYED at the end of the month. The goverment keeps trying to go after video games and music; IMPROVE THE EDUCATION SYSTEM AND THESE PROBLEMS WIlL TAKE CARE OF THEMSELVES.
As for this kids punishment, its harsh even unecessary, but that's all the administrators know to do in a situation. Heaven forbid they'd realize that there was obviously some problem between the teacher and his/her students and try to fix it.
