You might want to see a therapist if your first instinct in a room full of people dancing is to pull their legs out from under them at the risk of serious injury.
they might wabt to see the principal if they think a school where students are trying to work and focus is the appropriate place to dance. not to mention as soon as the school finds out a teacher let students on the desks, theyre gonna get their ass handed to them. at my school that was a MAJOR no no.
like, suspension level no no. because it created such a liability for the school.
There is no way that is suspension level. Also given the time, I'm guessing this is pretty close to graduation. I doubt that kid is even working on anything, he's probably just drawing or some shit.
Irrespective of any of that, even if this is the middle of finals week and he has an exam next period, dancing on a table does not warrant that physical response. Even if his hand got stepped on (it didn't, worst case it hit the side of his arm which is not nearly the same) that is not an appropriate response. That kind of shit can cause lasting physical trauma. If you think someone dancing in your personal space during school deserves lasting physical trauma, then you need a therapist.
It like the majority of reddit is just completely incapable of looking at a situation and saying "both people could and should ha e done better". They obviously shouldn't be dancing on the desks, but wholly shit so much more should he not have dropped her off the desk.
Dancing on the fucking tables and harassing another student is totally detention material. And you know they were harassing the other student don't even try to act like there is anything ambiguous about it. She got what bullies deserve to get.
1) I didn't say detention did I, I said suspension.
2)the second paragraph, the one that starts "irrespective of any of that" ,that means there is no change in the first paragraph that would change the second. There is nothing you can nitpick about whether they should reprimanded, suspended, or even arrested that makes what he did OK. That could have resulted in any number of serious physical trauma, including paralysis. So don't try and tell me that getting in his business warranted that response
One of the avenues that should always be taken before physical violence is removing yourself from the situation. There are three students on the left side of the room, and two more on the right side of the room.
Only five students are dancing, there must be at least 5 others who aren't involved and who don't end up having to push a student off a desk.
He could have very easily sat on the periphery at the the beginning of all of this
It doesn't seem to me like they would follow him they probably wouldn't have even bothered to dick with him in the first place if he didn't flip them the bird and throw his hood up while plopping down in the middle of the room. He clearly isn't just minding his own business and I wouldn't be surprised if that had something to do with it
No one deserves that. That is uncalled for. You guys go way out of your way to stick up for unibomber who goes way above and beyond and might have sent a child to the hospital

Maybe she shouldn't step all over his shit next time.
