Kid assault you and its your fault.

He should have sued the school.

While I don't condone the violence, it was completely unnecessary for him to humiliate the student like that. It was unprovoked and unprofessional. He was a teacher and we didn't have enough information about the student to understand why his work was so poor. Regardless, if that's the kind of behavior a teacher exhibits, is it in any way surprisingly that those he teaches would react accordingly?

I am not siding with the student, though, I think they both acted poorly but what the student did was worse. I think the teacher should have been suspended. But I also think the student should have been expelled.

And the teacher did sue the school and lost. After the time skip he is looking at a newspaper clipping that reported it.

Everyone in this was stupid. The whole system was, right down to the principal who was itching for a reason to get rid of the teacher as if he was the problem and not those bratty ass kids. The kids needed to be handcuffed to their desks and beaten.
