Re: For once, a teacher is allowed to practice self defense

One more thing. You don't know what the boy said to her. What if he said "I'm going to rape you". What would you expect her to do then?

I am not saying the teacher was wrong in her actions but when she swung she lost the battle she did just what he wanted, she lowered herself from the "adult" role and fell into the parent or child role. People like this boy push and push to get YOU to respond in a violent manner so then they are the poor victim.
Disagree. She didn't lower herself to any level. She defended herself. I would expect my wife(a teacher) to defend herself in the same way. If it was a male 30 yr old male teacher that is capable of defending himself then your point could possibly have some validity. But IMO, not in this case.
