Wait, we know why the teacher's power level went over 9000?
The amount of physical/sexual abuse that students experience from adult authority figures is absolutely appauling. All of it really disgusts me. Every single teacher should have extensive psychological testing done before they are allowed to even walk into a classroom, imo.
I wouldn't be surprised but at the same time some kids are just...well, bullies. I think it's so messed up that it was towards someone who was mentally disabled.
I still can't believe how ass backwards our society is, much like a lot of criminals in our corrupt/dishonorable court system that get off because their sleazly lawyer pulls some ******** out of his ass or they just get a slap on the wrist. Similar to that, bullies have always gotten a smack on the wrist while the kids that are constantly bullied pretty much lose a **** ton of confidence and self esteem, and most of the time it's because they're not cool or popular or just a little weird personality wise. Personally I never got physically picked on growing up but I had a lot of **** talked to me due to ignorant stereotypes. Since I was shy, introverted and skinny I was called a f** quite a bit since grade school. I was surprised many kids at that age even knew what that was in the late '80s/early '90s.
I remember in third grade around Halloween this one *****e who was known as being "the *******/bully" was picking on some girl from Haiti and shoved her down ripping her Tin Man costume. Of course the ***** had his friends around him, otherwise, although i'm skinny(especially back then)I would have punched his face in. I felt so sorry for the girl and my blood was boiling. She was essentially getting made fun of from being Haitian as well as the fact that she had a slight speech impediment that made her talk a bit funny. I think it might have been due to a possible hearing problem because one of my younger sisters was stubborn and wouldn't wear her hearing aides enough so she pronounces words funny now.
Our society needs to be harsher on bullies, I don't believe in the government telling and taking over how parents should raise or treat their kids but some of these parents need to learn to discipline better. They are either spoiling their kids too much, not watching them enough and raising them right or in some cases I know of personally, their Dads were *******s growing up and that attitude pretty much gets taught to their sons.
Is the teacher wrong? Yes. You should never behave like that. But I have NO symopathy whatsoever for that stupid prick of a kid...locking your teacher out and making fun of a mentally disabled kid? Wow. In 10 years this kid will be flipping burgers at Mcdonalds if not worse.
One question. Why was the mentally disabled kid in the class with them? Do they still have special ed? I haven't been in school for a while and I thought that was part of the way school was supposed to be.
Unless she knew they would be erased, which they were....the tape we are seeing is video from a students cellphone. I'm sure she didn't know that was being done...The teacher flipped out, and apparently she didn't even care about being fired given she had to know about the cameras. She was in a rage, and this just seems to me to be a culmination as opposed to her just snapping because she had a bad day.
And I've seen pre-teens beat other pre-teens worse than that, and just get a couple weeks suspension. If parents actually seen on tape like this how these bullies attack other children, there would be much more litigation and assault charges filed. Most adults will never see that much physical assault in their lives after school. A lot of this just comes across as allowing some B.S. pecking order to continue, even though most adults would never allow the same level of harassment in their work lives.

The teacher also deserved to get fired, but she went out laying the smackdown!
Flippin' burgers is honest work. This kid will be in jail.
My input:
What the teacher did was out of line, but the kid obviously had some sort of obliteration of face coming to him (her?) somewhere along the lines. Watching the video shows that some students cheered on the teacher as she rocked the kid around the class room. So them saying "it was a horrifying event" kind of, has no room here. I myself cannot tolerate when people make fun of mentally handicapped people, and when people make fun of mentally handicapped kids, it boils my blood. The ****er got what he(she?) deserved and I hope he(she?) knows it.
It's funny, but I'm sure there was a time in this country where if this kid had told his parents he just got his ass whipped by his teacher, the parents would has asked, "And just what were you doing to make the teacher kick your ass?" Those days are gone.
she went to smackdown hotel, stayed for the weekend, and never paid the bill.The teacher also deserved to get fired, but she went out laying the smackdown!
Up until I was in 4th grade, teachers still spanked students. And when you got home, if your parents found out, you got it again. I personally believe some measure of corporal punishment would be a merit to a lot of kids, but I think it would be too hard to administer without seriously intense background checks on these teachers.
