We Need to Screen Our Teachers Better!

I hate Senusret and starang

I agree with a combination of what everyone in this thread said. But, if he was threatening a female student I can think of more appropriate ways to handle it. I went to a school with quite a few badasses and those teachers NEVER stooped to the students' level in how they talked to us and handled us. It's actually quite amazing none of our teachers beat the hell out of students.

It's simply not true that "anything goes." You can't just fly off the handle and go off of your first instinct or anger. This is especially the case for authority figures and dealing with children.

I agree that teachers have to be extra special people to know how to deal with children without ever retaliating by yelling or becoming physical. The problem is that there are superb educators who are horrible at managing stress. How does a school system test for that?
