Why would it be hard for a teacher to know how to respond? I don't understand that either. Many teachers these days need more backbone too. They shouldn't let the kids bully them.

Speaking as a future teacher, I am not going to risk my job or even being sued...I'm going to find someone above me to handle it.

When that kid is punching you in the face, you don't have time to find someone above you to handle it.

Yeah. Great. But MOST of the time the kid is talking back or making threats. And I'm sure as hell not risking my future by giving them more of the same.
My kids better not be little hellions, but if my students are I'm going to find a way to make it work without getting fired.

You would HAVE to find a way to get someone 'above you' to handle it. Yell out to a student to run and get a teacher, or whatever. Cause if you don't want to lose your job....like for eternity (cause no school would hire you after that) you best not lay a hand on that demon spawn.

You have a right to defend yourself using reasonable means. And if you handle it the right way, you won't have to worry about finding another job. That's one thing I tell teachers all the time: don't let the school system bully or manipulate you into thinking that you have to endure unwanted physical contact from students. Especially if you are threatened with bodily harm.

I'd have you on retainer because if a child ever, ever ever ever, ever ever thought about putting their hands on Ms. Prettyface08 they'd better wake up out of that daydream. I don't do well with people putting their hands on me, especially someone's punk tail kid. I'd probably have to start my own business like Kevin said and cut some grass or clean some pools since I couldn't get a job anywhere else after I did my time for attempted murder in the State pen.

Administration doesn't want them coming after kids like that. I'm sure many of these teachers have backbones in their "real lives," but they aren't able to showcase that at work.

No, you are right about admin. However, my argument has always been that if adminis don't want teachers doing that, they need to provide good support networks for their teachers when it comes to disciplinary issues.
Kids feed off of the perceived lack of respect that teachers get from admins.
