re: Teacher repeatedly punches student, 14, in Georgia classroom brawl

A little fear and consequence goes a long way. The lack of accountability these days is ridiculous. Teachers shouldn't have to worry about 'how far is too far' when defending themselves in their own damn classroom.

I would also bet that he had no idea about the kids mom when he said that and it was meant to put the kid in his place when he was being disrespectful.
