ikr trying to demonize the student
even if he was the worst kid in town theres no excuse to abuse him like that

He exploded which is wrong

The white lady slapping that kid a week ago was hilarious...but this dude is choking a kid...that's wrong

*sigh* Knew someone would say this.

The point was that I would not tolerate anyone beating on my child and calling them the N word.

Disgusting.

I don't know... why?

"his parents should've taught him to respect teachers"

"he's a trouble maker obviously"

yes because that gives this grown ass man the right to choke a teenage student

Even if he says the N word the teacher DOESN'T have the right to beat the sh!t out of this boy
Some of ya'll.....

This is unacceptable

The people defending the teacher, "well maybe if his mother" as if that logic cannot be applied to the teacher as well.

woo imagine if the theacher was white

black ppl can say the n word to other black ppl?? that's not racist is it???

Good. Lock him up for life.

this is why all those people who say "give teachers guns" are idiots. people are people...they have tempers...

The teacher was black. So i think i'm ok with this whole situation.
The kid was super disrespectful (even tho he went a little crazy with the violence)

If the teacher were white i'd probably be angry. Being honest!

mmmhhh, i guess he lost his patience...

Before I get accused of defending physical abuse: I'm not.

However, the kid is not all that innocent either: http://www.wisn.com/news/student-tac...cking/39151516

Still though, the way this teacher retaliated is just

I don't feel sorry for either of them (the TA or the student)

First, the teacher's aide is ALL THE WAY WRONG for trying to put a student in a chokehold. You are in a professional setting, therefore, you're supposed to maintain your composure when situations like this occur, NOT wrestling with the kid like you're on WWE Smackdown. If push comes to shove, you let the administrators or school resource officer deal with the child. It was also unprofessional, and totally out of line that he had to use the N-word in such manner. You are a grown adult in a high school classroom with 20-30 (immature) minors! You shouldn't be using any racial slurs at all, especially if it isn't anywhere near your curriculum. Very disappointing tbh.

As for the child, I'm not letting his ass slide either. Where in the hell are this kid's parents, because they obviously dropped the ball on this one. Some of these teenagers today are just way too damn DISRESPECTFUL, and it amazes me that some people continue to make excuses for it, and let it slide.

He ended up being attitudinal with the wrong person, and he got his little bad ass put in line. You don't mouth off to every adult and expect them to stay calm 100% of the time; It just isn't possible. You're at school to get an education, not to talk back or be the class clown. If he continues down this path, the he'll end up messing with the wrong person, and the consequences could be worse.
