I shared that video with my kids a few years ago. It is really good. Something that all kids and adults need to view and be aware of.
Your reaction to all this is similar to mine. I was surprised how many people thought the school and police acted properly in this case. I was also suprised to see how many people thought the actions of this tantrum throwing 6 year old were evidence of some deep societal or personal problem. I simply do not believe the average 6 year old has enough strength to do all that much damage, no matter how upset they get. This was an overreaction by the adults, in my humble opinion.
“I was surprised how many people thought the school and police acted properly in this case.”
Have you read the incident report at post 149? How would you have handled the situation, other than by calling the police, knowing that you are not allowed to impart physical discipline?
Educators everywhere are anxiously awaiting your solutions. I would start a consulting business and start training schools on appropriate responses to violent children.
Remember as you are drawing up your power point, the parents will not come to the school (despite being phoned on all 23 contact numbers). You cannot touch, hold, restrain or otherwise physically intervene unless they are hurting themselves or others. And remember that a percentage of the school population is basically feral. We will watch for your company launch. You're gonna be rich.
