I sincerely believe that you have misunderstood me.
You initially proposed that, when the issue with the confiscated electronic toy arose, the female teacher should have requested help from her male colleagues - or maybe you meant that the school administration should simply delegate, as a matter of general policy, the task of restoring order, enforcing rules, or dealing with violent pupils to the male teachers (your posting was a little vague on that point).
But regardless as to whether you were referring to simply this one, specific incident or to a general policy according to which male teachers should always have to be the ones to intercede and deal with big, burly, surly male students - I disagree!
I therefore repeat: Why should any male teacher impacted by "reverse discrimination" or "DEI" voluntarily choose to "white-knight" an underpowered female teacher in distress?
*I suppose that there is a third possibility: That you meant that the school should hire a special category of security people - "Sergeants-at-Arms," if you will - whose sole duty is to maintain order. But then I submit to you that overarching leftist narratives would force the school to hire both big, burly men "who played contact sports" AND petite or overweight women. And then the female orderlies would constantly expect the male ones to intercede when it got dangerous.
Regards,
well, i see you’re an argumentative sort and all over the place. didn’t realize my comment was so controversial.
anyway, your tiny font third alternative is perhaps closer to the mark of what i assumed would be the situation in a well managed school, and is exactly what we had when i was in school back in the 70’s.
i’m not going to argue further, except to rephrase my original comment for others watching the thread, which i continue stand by, not withstanding your disagreement.
1. my first thought is that the school made it’s first mistake when it allowed any electronics in the first place.
2. the second thing i’ll repeat from my initial comment is that the woman made the 2nd mistake (which was proved out with her being hurt) and shouldn’t have made the demand in the first place, because she was incapable of enforcing it with a teen who could overpower her. (i don’t know why she didn’t realize that the teen could overpower her, or could fly into a rage given the punishment. perhaps she was a bit inexperienced in the classroom.)
anyway, if the electronics had to be confiscated, she should have called in men who could handle the situation, by controlling it. no average sized woman could possible control a boy that size without potentially lethal force. you obviously don’t want to deploy lethal force in that situation. you’re dealing with an out of control teen, who without a weapon wouldn’t be a threat to someone of greater experience, training, strength and agility.
well, have the last word if you want. i’m done.
