Violence in the workplace

[psycho22]

Well you are very good at reading 1/2 the posts I make let's hope you read the other half of this one.

When would I ever give them a "pat on the back and tell them they can do what they want"? Never. When the kids infringe they are made to confront their actions and recognise the consequences of their actions. This is a very uncomfortable experience for them. In many cases they have never had to do this before. But hear this. It does change their behaviour. This is what we want isn't it?

Loved the last bit of your post. Lovely bit of journalistic conjuring. From what you write, when I teach kids they become young scrotes that get into trouble with the police.

As for the first bit which I was going to ignore but heck while I'm here. I wouldn't mind teaching your kids because I don't discriminate. I would also understand when their homework was full of errors as they had probably asked Dad for help.

Their - possessive
There- position
They're - contraction (of they and are)
e.g. They're fucked because of their idiot father, that one over there.

Your - possesive
You're - contraction
e.g. You're grammar is one of your failings.

Pretty confident you won't be upset by this because I'm fairly convinced you never read down this far

If you're going to preach to someone as to what they should practice, perhaps you should practice that which you're preaching first.

Make sure the kid doesn't have grounds for a provocation defense now...

You've just proved that you're an idiot.

No, not an idiot. Just someone who thinks he or she is (he's or she's) better than everyone else around him or her.

Do the world a favour and make it a rope. Preceded by a short drop...

i agree nip it in the bud early..before he is old enough to go on the dole ...then go to one of the holiday camp prisons around the country..thats after he's been caught drunk driving when disgualified several times ,,then robs and kills some old lady

...shit what the F do you guys know about the background story?

FYI I am married to YT, and I do know the full story. I'm not at liberty to divulge too much, of course, but this kid's biggest problem is the mother. She should be strung up, since her 'style' of raising this kid is nothing short of abuse. But at 13, the kid is now confirmed in his behaviours, so he can join her on the scaffold.
Sure, my comment/s are OTT - it's a pressure valve - because I don't like seeing my wife hurt, especially by a kid that's been at this school one week and comes with a long history of doing this sort of thing. Which was dealt with 'your' way, every time it happened.
Your view of how to treat kids is typical of so many well-intentioned fools. Kids are NOT little adults, and are not capable of reason as we adults understand it. Kids are self-centred little hedonists - unchecked (appropriately) they are likely to become sociopathic adults.
I suggest you watch and study Nigel Latta...

I tell ya, when he punched me in the stomach, I had to really fight the urge to kick the living shit out of him! Alas, that would be the end of my job!

Interesingly, he can't write at the moment because his arm is "too sore"...but he can land punches and throw a chair!!!

Did none of the boys in the class get hold of him and a) stop him, b) beat the shit out of him in turn?

Well said sir. Being a kid is about growing up which includes learning that there a consequences to your actions before they get to the stage that they kill you. The trouble with the soft approach is arse holes like this are beyond it having an affect on them and need radical action before they even notice, bamboo to the rear, they get to skite about it but notice it. Suspension is just a holiday from a place they don't want to be.

you havnt answered my question, old chum, whats your profession?

I was placing good money on the outcome being "green party MP".

Why the fuck do we have Kiwi boys in the middle of a fucking desert?
Why does our government bow to an American government who doesn't give a fuck about us.
Why are the developers of leaky building homes still building substandard housing and why are the same planning committees still signing off these developments.

a) Airplane
b) Because its the government, that's what it does. Don't like it start a riot in the streets like Cairo
c) Because they get paid regardless

Any more difficult questions?

[avgas]

Apparently, we are to believe that it is because of leaky buildings in New Zealand, and Americans in Iraq.

Thank god.
We have been blaming everything on the Nazi's, the Commies and global warming for way too long.

You've just proved that you're an idiot.

Heh made me laugh though.
And I only did School C English.

It's disgusting when this type of thing happens to teachers.... just crazy.
I've worked in kitchens alot and seen a few altercations. Most recently, while working at Fusion cafe, I had to wedge myself in between 2 Chinese guys trying to rip each others heads off before it spilled out into the cafe......lol

You think? And to back up your assertions all you can do is to come up with insults.
