Knife held at Aquinas College student's throat - claim

[Scooter79]

its sounds like your standing up for a grown man assualting a year 7 student. wat are they like 12 years old??. teachers are there to look after and supervise the kids not belt who they see fit.

As I said above, I certainly do not condone the teachers actions. What I'm trying to say is that teachers are only human. Any human pushed to breaking point is capable of anything and teachers are no different.

....How many of you on this forum would go to work every day and tolerate being physically pushed around, spat on, have your cars vandalised and called every foul name under the sun, knowing that there was next to nothing you could do?

As I suspected, I see a reluctance to answer this question.

[Kikki]

Teachers= **** pay, constant taunting, No respect or thanks for educating our most important assets.... am man can only take so much.

As I suspected, I see a reluctance to answer this question.

get a new job?

[Kikki]

Sure... Even LESS teachers lol

My boys school have combined classes due to 3 positions vacant.... Lets not tell them to find another job lol.

As I suspected, I see a reluctance to answer this question.

I wouldn't be a teacher. It takes a special person to be a teacher. I admire those of you who are.

[QUOTE=Scooter79;715731]You got exactly what you deserved. I would congratulate that teacher if I ever met him. [QUOTE]


champ you should understand that sentence alone is supporting a grown man assualting a 12 year old. and it doesnt sound like he was pushed to breaking point, its sounds like his son was a year 9 little bitch that got beaten up by a year 7 student.
so your arguement doesnt work in this case

agreed, however as to the word special, well if alcoholic, pervert, bad breathed bigoted narrow minded facists applys to the word special then,,yes my teachers were very very special.

Nice to see we're held in such high regard.

[Kikki]

Dont stress Scooter79 I bet most of those who have posted negative comments regarding teachers are not long out of school or dont have children themselves. They will learn eventually

[jules]

teachers are just like any other profession. some are dedicated, valuable assets to education and some should be struck off the register. there's a lot sitting in the middle.

Damn, I loved school. I went to Scotch and got teased and picked on till I dropped a few guys then it all stopped. Great lesson to learn. But back on track. We had one guy brink an air rifle to school and shoot another guy with it. Air rifle went into the deputy heads office and he got sent home for the day.

Sorry, us Aquinas twats just aren't as badass as 'boy scouts' aye....

[Astranomical]

Back on subject, as horrible as it is, to be completely honest this doesn't surprise me one bit. I went to a private boarding school, so really, nothing surprises me. What I found in my five years there is that basically, if your parents are well known around the place, and highly respected, or if you're really good with sports, then basically, you are in like Flynn. You'll NEVER have ANY trouble whatsoever.

If you don't satisfy either of those two criteria, then....well, I wish you luck. *is not a sports person and doesn't have highly respected parents*

Either way, it must've been absolutely horrible for the kid...I hope he's doing ok I remember back when I was 13, a kid in my dorm kept giving me death threats, and sent me emails saying **** like, "Come Friday you'll be dead". School did SFA about it.

[Not_An_Abba_Fan]

I went to a private school for the last 2 years of highschool and one the kids was thrown out of a second story window and broke his arm. These days, he would have been ADHD and on medication, back then he was the trouble maker, he even threw a desk at a teacher, the other kids got sick of him and tossed him out the window.

[jet_pilot]

You got exactly what you deserved. I would congratulate that teacher if I ever met him. By the way, whos fault is it that you never completed year 7? The school system? No. Schools have a responsibility to provide a safe learning environment. From what you say it sounds like you're the one who provoked the whole thing. There are measures in place so schools can transfer 'troubled' students. However, the responsibility comes back onto the child and the parents to follow through.

did some one **** in your cornflakes? get your head out of your arse and read what i wrote his year 9(15) son tryed to beat me up being a big hero in front of his mates and yes i was 12 i got the better of him and his dad chucked a wobbly because i made his kid look bad and a fully grown man punching and chocking a 12 year old thats real tuff guy ****....so go and congratualate him do you punch the crap out of kids? get a life ok get in the real world
and for anyone that wants to know i completed yr 11 an 12 last year at tafe so i skipped 7,8,9and 10 and i dont blame anyone but myself

mate been there done that but it wasnt kids it was full grown men... its called working with drunks ... u learn to adapt and learn to deal with people in a different ways to get your job done...

and as far as the comment goes about the way you are brought up is a crock of ****... there is just as many good parents with little pricks of kids as there are from bad homes..

ive seen it first hand in many cases

Maybe I was a little hasty but you did say "when i was in year 7 3 months into the year i got into a fight with a year 9 kid (you know new kid's stuff) anyway i beat the hell out of him.... You didn't say he started it. So often nowadays you see some weedy little 12 year old trying to stir up a beefy 15 or 16 year old into a fight. Usually the little one that starts it gets his head knocked in, goes home and has a cry to mummy, mummy comes to the school the next day and threatens to sue. My appologies. I'll try not to **** in my cornflakes tomorrow morning by mistake.

So your saying that the kid who's dad is the local drug dealer and mum is the local hooker has as much chance at success in life as the kid who's parents support and encourage them and make sacrifices to put their child first? Yes, thats an extreme example but I know a couple of kids at the school whos parent are exactly that. One kid whos dad is an alco and my is a hooker. Mum won a couple of hundred thousand in lotto, took the money, left the kids and p***** it all away. Now she's still a hooker. The oldest child was forced to look after the youngest by stealing food and now the younest one already has a criminal record for break and enters. You telling me thats not due to the kids upbringing? I also see alot of parents who try to do the right thing and love their child but loving your child doesn't always make you a good parent. I had a mother up to the school for an interview. Clearly was at her wits end and very upset. But her childs behaviour was due to the kid being spoilt, no disipline and never having to do anything for himself. She said to me "We've bought every playstation game for him, and made him promise he'd behave if we bought them for him". She said he doesn't clean his room unless she pays him $20 first... and she does!

It also depends on your definition of what makes a good or bad parent. Kids aren't born bad or evil. They are a product of their environment. It's a case of monkey see, monkey do. If the parent are rude, and swear and have anger issues, how is the child ever going to learn any different? They think that is the norm. I'm not saying it's a case of black and white. Sure you get a**hole children come from good families and you will also get great kids coming from bad homes. But to say 'the way you're brought up and you turn out being a crock of **** is a VERY naive way of thinking. It's usually the typical response from someone not wanting to accept responsibility. Parents are, and will always be the greatest influence on any child. Not the neighbours, not the government and certainly not television.

well its good to hear uv said theres asshole children come from good homes aswell as bad homes. Cause i think its pretty unfair when ppl start pointing tha finger at parents when its not always there fault. theres freedom of choice here. if they dont want to listen they wont.

well it might just be me but everyone has a brain and everyone has some social interaction with people other then there family members and by mid highschool age should know whats right or wrong and be able to make desicions for themselfs..

just coz good old dad is a crack head and mums sleeping with every man in the neighbour hood doesnt mean that i have to lol

How did he get what he deserved, got into a fight with an older student then his father has a go at him for it? More like the Year 9 student and his father got what they deserved.
