Reply #51: Frankly, as a parent and a teacher who has to deal with a certain number [View All]

of students who refuse to follow any kind of rules (even when they are meant for the welfare of the students) and get into the teacher's face, and in this case, threatened the teacher, I'd love to be able to tell you just what kind of parenting I think you are giving your child! If my child acted like that in school, I would withdraw him and send him to some military academy for a year or so to learn some appropriate discipline, becaue I would have obviously failed as a parent.

To get an idea of what teachers face every day, I suggest you become a substitute teacher for two or three weeks in the middle and high school arena. I bet you come away with a different attitude.

And for what it is worth, removing a hat from a student's head can be done quite easily without ever touching the student.
