Intolerable Violence in Classrooms

I’m not sure if you saw the video of the teacher’s assistant in Florida being beaten by a student because he couldn’t play his video game. It is brutal and demonstrates the control an angry student can have in a classroom, especially if he is of larger stature than the teacher.

This type of classroom violence is abhorrible and must be stopped. Thankfully, a camera in the classroom captured everything and presented an accurate picture of what took place rather than interpretations based on interviews of witnesses.

Some schools push back on cameras in the classroom, but if this video doesn’t demonstrate the need for that type of surveillance, I don’t know what will.
