My son would have jumped up, headlocked that cretin after the first strike, and mudstomped him into next week.
When students were disrespectful to teachers, he threatened them. Given his size, all of them backed down. One teacher called to advise that while he appreciated my son standing up for him, the unruly student was now afraid to come to his class.
My son was only unkind to one teacher, a woke joke with a slanted view of world history. Mistake...my son was an avid reader of history and knew dates, places, events, and circumstances by memory. When she veered into woke territory, he would raise his hand, wait to be called on, and then refute her with facts. It got so bad that by the middle of the semester, students would turn in their chairs to see if he disagreed with the teacher before taking any notes.
According to a friend on staff, she got upset in the teacher’s lounge because my son had more credibility in the class than she did. When the other teachers heard my son’s name, they laughed. “Forget it, you won’t win.”
He was always polite but he was not going to give her an inch.
“ He was always polite but he was not going to give her an inch.”
That’s awesome!

Two problems with that. First, even many years ago when I was in school (60-70’s) when you fought with one of that particular demographic, you fought them all. And second, who know what weapon the perp was carrying.
A year ago we had a FIRST GRADER here in Newport News VA who brought a gun to school and shot his teacher.
That was me, my freshman year in college in the 60s! At least then, there were still other faculty members who would defend me. The only difference in our stories is that the class dieseldyke would turn around and threaten to beat me up after class.
