Teacher Loses Appeal for Headlocking Student in Self Defence; is Consequently Fired.

The student is scummy but teachers, shouldn't, no matter what, hit a student like that. He could have just held his arms back or moved away.

[Yawn]

shocking

sacking a teacher because of that classless scumbag pupil attacking him. he restrained him, he didnt fight him back.

Idk what some of you are on about, but the teacher put the student in a headlock, he didn't punch him...?

I think some of my wording made it a little confusing, the teacher head locked the student but never hit him, it was more for self defence

andddddd this is what's wrong with the world!

It's still physically touching a child - in an aggressive way, which isn't on.

It was the right thing to do. Your solution of not allowing teachers to defend themselves is just asinine. It doesn't matter how many teachers you call, if they're not allowed to touch the student whatsoever the student can just do whatever they want.

I've been clear on this before - I back corporal punishment (the cane) 100%. Look at the breakdown in behaviour in our schools and across youngsters who have no respect for authority. It's time to stop whinging about 'childrens rights' and be more concerned about teaching them right and wrong from a young age.

Until that happens then schools will remain out of control (as many are) and so will crime.

Me and you hardly agree but this is great!
I fully 100% support this statement. Kids think they can rule the school :/

Which is a battery - unlawfully touching someone (only needs to be an unwanted touch too, doesn't have to be a punch).

If the student hit him first, why has he no right to self defence himself. It comes natural to have a habbit of defening yourself.
