Teaching seems like a frustrating job
-
Dude school kids were awful when I was one and couldn't understand why they couldn't think logically. I cant imagine how bad it is now after decades of brainrot and phones in schools. I would NEVER be a teacher.
I would but no one is offering enough money for me to do that job

It's a child, calm down lol
Nah, even as a child that's unacceptable. My kid is only 5 and I don't let them hit people, and punish them when they do. The response from the parent shows the apple fell straight down
Edit: if you think this is advocating violence against children, go touch grass or read a single book on parenting ffs. Natural/logical consequences make good punishments for misbehavior, and have gone a long way to helping my kid not act out (and are nonviolent, since that has to be spelled out)

Yeah, it's unacceptable, but it's also unacceptable to call a child a "garbage person" for acting like a child.

Functional people don't punch their teacher in the face because they don't have enough to eat. He may have had low blood sugar AND a behavioral or mental issue that needs to be addressed.
At minimum I would expect a letter from the kid as to what they did was wrong and an apology from both parents and kid. I would expect an offer to pay for the glasses. I would expect the kid to be punished severely. A good example would be selling the kids ps5 to pay for the glasses and not getting him another console this year and making him spend his free time doing unpleasant chores for a month with no outings or rewards of any kind.
This is both non-violent, moral, memorable, directly exemplifies the direct connection between wrongdoing and restitution. It doesn't assign blame to a condition as if being hungry forced him to punch his teacher in the face.
We have no idea how old the kid is.

I have doubts it's a real email anyway. Seems like rage bait to me.

I remember a lot of kids getting spanked at school in the '80s. Most were more worried about the additional spanking they would get at home as punishment for misbehaving enough to get spanked at school.
You don't have to lay hands (or belts, or whatever) on your child to set and enforce strong boundaries and expectations. Kids need those guardrails to help them learn to navigate the world.

Why do people believe this even happened? When did this happen? Which country did this happen in?
This is rage bait. The users name is "johnny bananas".
“Which country” now THAT’S rage bait.

You shouldn’t be in charge of anything. That’s called being complacent and leads to even worse problems.

Yeah, it's unacceptable, but it's also unacceptable to call a child a "garbage person" for acting like a child.
Regardless of the labelling, punching someone in the face is absolutely not "acting like a child", it's acting like a garbage person. That shit should not be tolerated or excused away to complain about labelling.
And honestly, excusing away a kid battering their teacher as "acting like a child" is pretty goddamned unacceptable too.

What is a dcf call?

I was spanked as a kid. I don’t think it did any good. I don’t want to spank my kids.
As a parent of two very different and spectrum-y kids, it is incredible just how effective gentle parenting is. You have to be mindful of your kids' needs, make sure they aren't tired or hangry or just in an environment/situation that lends itself to poor decisions (and if they are, guide them towards resolving that) and dole out timeouts and losing privileges as appropriate for the individual child and situation. The other thing to remember is kids will test limits all the time, so you need to be ready to make those limits clear and make it clear when they try something new which is not okay. Mostly it comes down to consistent expectations and being clear and consistent with your and communication and punishments

How.
No, really. Specifically tell us all here how “they chose that”.

My little brother threw a chair at his preschool teacher. This is absolutely shit kids do, that they need to be taught is unacceptable. You don't teach kids to be better by writing them off as garbage humans, because they're still learning.
If you call your five year old garbage for acting out, you're a shitty parent.
-
I'm just surprised they didn't write something like "You deserved it". It gets even worse than this, believe it or not.

Garbage adults start as garbage children

On top of all of this, at least in my country, the pay is shit. And no government past or present seems interested in changing it so...
Always the same story on loop.
"Nobody wants to work anymore" - Because the pay is shit.
"We're struggling to fill positions" - Because the pay is shit.
"This generation is laz— The. Pay. Is. Shit. -
What is a dcf call?
Probably Department of Child and Family Services AKA CPS.
