Okay obviously teachers don't see everything the whole class time. Why would you blame the teacher? Gosh I hate parents who raise spoiled ass brats. -.- when I was a kid, I used to get my ass whipped and beat up.

That is awful. The father was not anywhere near wrong in this situation. In fact, he was being very patient. Depending on the age my child would have probably earned a round trip to the bathroom for knocking the water all over the place in a hissy fit. No, they would not have been spanked in anger, they would get spanked to get their attention when evidently words did not work The nosy women probably is one of those with horribly strong opinions about children, yet does not have any of her own.

So many parents are morons.

There the issue right there....the kid isn't be made to take responsibility for his own actions! Nice job parents.

Kid obviously needs better parents :) !!

Parents today. I don't get how they think schools are supposed to take the place of parents.

Suspension. Get rid of brats who physically assault others and are a disruption.

Sounds like the boy who is in my daughter's class. His parents are both doctors and work alot so he is raised by a nanny. The nanny tries to discipline him, but the parents then over ride her decision and let him do whatever he wants. As a result, he is the most obnoxious kid in her class. He lives 3 houses down and always knocking on our door at 8pm-9pm on school nights asking if my daughter can come out to play.

As both a father and husband to a teacher where the hell did so many people get the idea that teachers are supposed to raise their child instead of/alongside being a facilitator of learning?

Expel his ass. Violence shouldn't be tolerated
