Boy, 15, punches teacher in class

its all parents faults that students have deteriorated to such.it is not wrong for teachers to punish student (not slap though). but it is definitely wrong...

If he no repent, put him in the boys home.

He should also be caned.

shows the failure of his family values.. his parents didn't impart any, and his grandparents didn't impart any to his father either...

all in all, a very disgraceful episode... for the boy, his father and everyone who is related to them...

likeyou SG

His father is more disgraceful than his son for his remarks.

Yes, if you are one of his relatives reading this, dont you feel shameful for the family?

Btw, we only hear one side of the story, maybe we should hear what the boy want to say and why he punch his teacher??

despondent SG

well, often in life we dont get to hear both sides of the story...newspapers do not always report both sides of the story too...tats why we have so much resentment, bitterness and unfairness in this world...ppl often judge based on one-side of the story leaving one or more parties being unfairly judged...

Seriously, I can see why the son ended up being so messed up. It's because his father is just as messed up, probably more.

The strength of the punch means nothing. Punching a teacher is a serious offence, period. The father's logic is like saying that no murder is being committed if you use a pistol instead of an AK-47 to shoot someone in the head.

In my time, the kid would have been caned on stage in front of the whole school. Expelled, even.

I sound like an old man when I say that. Which is sad, considering that I'm only 28 this year.

Yes, I would want to hear his side of the story.

But I would still want him caned and expelled, with a day at Juvenile Court as well.

the Bear SG

soooooo... what gives anyone the right to punch someone else?

tell us.. do tell us..

or are you still bearing grudges about being "punished harshly".. pray tell why you were "punished harshly"?

despondent SG

on a more interesting note, some teachers may choose to settle the case within the class itself...they may let the student choose wad he wants; do punishment in class or be reported to principal and his parents...although some may argue tat this case is too serious to be settled within the class...

despondent SG

when did i say he had the rite to punch others? i was juz giving a general statement tat often we dont get to hear both sides of the story and hence our judgment may tend to be biased...

likeyou SG

If the school reports to the police, it means the case is very serious. Maybe that boy from 369 gang? His father from 135 gang?

we don't..

however, the fact that punching the teacher is already considered assault..

for that, he has no defense whatsoever..

if the teacher swore at him, cursed him, harassed him, belittled him... all these if reported, with his classmates as witnesses, would have caused the teacher his/her job...

there is another side to whatever story it is, but after he assaulted the teacher, it becomes immaterial...

that is the long and short of it...

there is no "mitigating circumstances" here...

and there can be no "mitigating circumstances" to assault...

likeyou SG

School take the right solution to report the case to the police, to have a record in the police log.

despondent SG

speaking abt mitigating circumstances...i have always wondered if there are for manslaughter out of self-defence...one classic one is if a woman is about to be raped and in the midst of self-defence, she killed the man, will she still be charged for manslaughter and go jail? or she will be acquited? IMHO, she shldnt be punished at all...

TIB1167D SG

That's manslaughter.

gunner77 SG

the father should be punched with 100% force.

Icerage SG

its just the beginin of juvenile delinquency problems

we will see much more in time to come

troublemaker2005 SG

in a modern society, pen is more powerful thana punch. we always go the deplomat way. but when its time to use force, punch real hard.

sadly, the boy has the guts of a warrior but not the brain of a grown up man.

cawca SG

That's manslaughter.

It's self-defence, not manslaughter.
