He handled the entire incident quite badly. There were more effective ways he could have used.
The easiest by far would have been to ask the other students to exit the classroom with their work and leave her in a room with no audience to off for, then just wait her out. Eventually she WILL get out of that chair and then arrest her or whatever is needed.
But to drag a minor out like that? poor life choice.
So...disrupt & inconvenience everyone else doing what they should where they’re supposed to? She wins. Sure, she’ll get up at some point - on her terms; she wins. Arrest her? for WHAT? if it’s an arrestable offense then forcing compliance is warranted - and then we’re back where it started.
Methinks he did take it too far, but do question how much margin for error he really had - to wit: very little. Forcing the uncooperative out of such a seat is awkward at best, and easily requires more aggression than can easily be controlled.
We need to stop this notion that the upstanding of society must panic & flee the presence of misbehavior, leaving it to continue and dominate the situation.
drag her after flipping her desk over while she’s sitting in it...the student may be a punk but the security officer is a dumba$$....
“But to drag a minor out like that? poor life choice.”
She’s 18.
I would never inconvenience an entire class in deference to a worthless piece of ****!
But that's just me.
