Teaching seems like a frustrating job
-
No! Bad! No hitting children!
Punishing is much more than violence against children, and hitting them is one of the worst ways to punish for many reasons.
-
I feel like the teacher should be someone who not only possesses great knowledge and the capacity to guide, but also the ability to solo the entire classroom in a fight to make them submit and listen the fuck up.

Strikes me almost like someone on the spectrum trying to solution when the other just wants acknowledgement and an apology. But being hangry is absolutely a thing, especially with kids so it is possible the "calming banana" might work

I'm a teacher assistant, 80% sure I want to go into teaching (students assaulting me isn't holding me back. Its just the self confidence of stepping up and leading the class is what's holding me back. And granted, I'm not in the USA, so I don't fear school shootings)
I've had students punch me. I've had students slam doors hard enough to break windows. But I also remember seeing the students learn something. The way their face lights up when they are smarter than their friend, or when they make a connection in math. THATS what is bringing me back to the classroom.
The shy kid in yr 8 is now school captain. The kid I personally nicknamed 'Cartman' because that was his personality, is helping the new kid around school when teachers aren't looking.
Remember the good bits

Should we be worried that Cartman is helping other kids, or is that a sign that he really grew and matured as a person?

This is why I love private boarding schools. Punishments are swift & violent. And crying for attention will get you none.
I bet being physically punished for inane bullshit is great for building character

that kid does not have good home

All the problematic peers I’ve known either were born into a neglectful or hostile household, or were neurodivergent of some kind and didn’t fit in with the environment we were in, since those who were typical and were born into understanding families would just do what they were supposed to do.
Due to how schools where I live are supposed to be looking out for signs of neurodivergence or other differences, while also being underfunded without a justification, many students aren’t even seen and once they get to middle or high school, they become the violent and problematic ones.
Then again though, it’s also the parents’ responsibility to make sure their own child is heard and cared for to prevent such outbursts from happening in the first place, and those neglectful or hostile households are likely a result of the parents not understanding what being mentally healthy means.

Ah yes. Love the downvotes
-
the parent got told that his kid assaulted a teacher and this is the response, raving about some "calming bananas". Also not a word of apology.
-
"Ah yes, the ancient cure for physical assault: potassium. I’m sure the glasses will magically fix themselves once he finishes his 'Superpower' fruit.
-
isn't there vicarious liability for parents of their kids when the runts exhibit continuous violent behavior?
Absolutely not. I know multiple teachers and I've never once seen a parent held accountable for their child's behavior.
"Worst" a school can do is suspend them and the parents bitch about that and threaten to sue.
-
From a kid nicknamed "Cartman"..?
Oh... no reason.
-
In a situation like this is it better to punch the kid or the parents?
Hey! This is the internet, someone will suggest to play safe, take a swing at all three.
I know I sound old, but I miss the days when I (or even my kids) went to school. If a teacher reached out to parents you knew troubles where waiting at home. Not like being beaten senseless, but a punishment was lurking in your near future which would match your wrong doing.

By the fact there is no salutation and no signature, and the text clearly doesn't stand by itself as a complete reply to anything, I'm going to assume it's a short excerpt from the email reply, and that there was an apology.

Seriously tho. I've worked as a teacher. The indoctrination system is pure garbage.

It's almost like kids don't like being physically coerced into a prison for their whole day.
