Imagine trying to pull nonsense like this when we were in school?
Yet the report seems to lean toward the teacher having somehow been at fault.

So, maybe the teacher should tape the kids secretly in class and then show the tapes to the parents. Show them what jerks they raised.
Nothing is wrong on either side, I believe. I'm all for recording everything you feel like - secretly or not - as a record of truth. Behave, don't lie, and there shouldn't be a problem.
Also, the teacher was right to yell, and I'm glad that he did. Who's getting upset?
But never for refusing to recite the Anthem...just for flirting with the french teacher. And to think if I had been successful, we would have made the national papers and she would be headed for prison.
Unfortunately, yours truly was headed for the P's office.
This might be good.
Other Images??
As technology advances, it will become increasingly impossible to prevent secret cameras (owned and operated by many different parties) from recording any and all activities, wherever performed.
He didn't do anything really really bad, though forcing the kid to stand up did violate his rights.
That said, it sounds like he just needs to get some better classroom management training.
If kids tried this crap where I grew up, they would be the outcast loser that gets beaaten up all the time. Lefty parents suck, and they raise pathetic moron kids.
Also, if my son refused to stand for the national anthem I would have kicked his 4$$ and then shoved the camera up it.
Certainly is on record for provoking the teacher.
Heck...my 6th grade teacher took the metal clicky thingy (where the ball bearings hang and you start one clicking the other, then they click by themselves) and threw it from his desk at the front of the classroom to the back wall. He was always throwing something, but usually it was just a stack of papers.
Me thinks that the parents of this kind of punk would not care.
I often wonder how a person could possibly keep their cool when you have such little snots acting up. If we had acted this way in school, our parents would have been contacted and we would have been punished by the them. That was when children were raised to respect their elders and that you went to school to learn not play.
In my High School, my Chemistry/Physics/Biology did that openly. He had twin microphones hanging from the ceiling, and announced that he recorded each and every class he taught. As High School is not legally required, and this was his class; if we didn't like it we were free to leave.
He would state that when parents come in to ask why their kids flunked, and then stated that 'so and so' wasn't mentioned in class; he could just whip out the appropriate tape. He was perhaps the best teacher I ever had. We didn't have a lot of fun in his classes; but we learned the material.
You kicking your son's butt for failing to stand for our national anthem is one thing. Having a public school teacher scream at your son for refusing to do so is another.
If your son wants to be an anti-American freak, he should hear from his parents and his classmates. But I don't like a government employee screaming at a kid for being unpatriotic any more than I like a government school refusing to allow students to pray at lunch or recess on their own volition. I think that both violate the First Amendment.
Watch this video of an Arab student in a classroom in Holland. He yells at the teacher and starts shoving him around. Everybody just watches. The teacher does nothing.
