So a schoolteacher has gone on trial for attempted murder after removing an unruly kid from class and hitting him with a dumbell.
Weak teachers have always been considered fair goading game to kids in class. I can think of a few episodes many years back that make me wince.
This story though reveals two victims. Not just the boy that was assaulted but the teacher who hit him. For sure, no-one can condone such actions no matter how stressed the teacher may have been.
Yet kids will always test the boundaries. And sometimes, as in this case, when you push people too far, they can suddenly snap.
Maybe more needs to be done to educate people that unpleasant actions can have appalling consequences. The place to initiate that would seem to me to be in the classroom.
