Let's get this straight. The school called the police to arrest a 6 year old because she had a tantrum. If you can't handle a kid having a tantrum well then maybe working in a primary school isn't the best job for you.
I think it is harder these days as teachers can't really touch the kid such as restraining them or what is needed to subdue them. However, calling the police sounds ridiculous. Maybe the child was really lashing out at the teacher and other kids.

@@aluminiumbird5113 That could be a sign of family trouble, like the heat being off, in the dead of winter. Say in that case, it is a problem with money, and negotiating the system with utilities. And that is where a social worker as a go between could help solve a family issue. But in more serious cases, the child's absence could be due to serious abuse, or neglect issues. Say the mother is out, on drug binges. In my duties, as a social worker, there was one mother missing for months. Later, her body was found in the house of a serial killer, with like, 8 other murdered women. You can find this woman's son, as an adult, talking about his life with her, in a documentary here on RUclips.
I got suspended for being 15 minutes late to school and not having on the uniform shirt. What actually happened was I missed my school bus and had to run to metro bus (public transportation) stop in order to even make it there. If I had not I would have been more than an hour late by time the next bus came. It was hot that day so I took off the thick school polo until I got to campus and stop being sweaty. As soon as I walked into building they rounded up everyone that was late that day because a lot of people were still in halls after first period bell. They decided to make an example out of everyone to warn the other students. I never had been in any trouble ever at school and had good grades. I was in the biotech special classes called (IB) and wanted to attend an Ivy League. I cried and beg them not to suspend me because a suspension would look bad for colleges. They turned my original 1 day into a week for “theatrics”/“causing a scene”. After that I stop caring as much about school. I felt like my chances of getting into a top school were ruined. I did end up going to college finally though but at 23 after years of being talked down to by people not smarter than me while working minimal wage jobs. I graduated with a 3.73 gpa in biological engineering. But I always wonder what would have happened had I just made that bus that day. How much further along in life I could have been. I’m definitely not blameless in how I handled the situation after but at 15 my thought processes weren’t perfect, one bad moment felt like my life was over at the time.
@ That's like claiming a parent should just let their child touch a burning stove without any effort to warn or stop them. Okay, yeah, if they get burned they're never going to forget it. But humans have ears, and brains, and by the time a kid is a few years old, they realize injuries hurt them...they don't have to literally have their hand on the stove to know how to be careful. Kids are going to have enough pain and difficulties in life no matter how much we want to protect them, there's no sense in actively adding to that by subjecting them to abuse by police at a young age.
@@cleorandall2444 It’s always weird to me when people talk about Hispanic people, me and my whole family are Hispanic and all our family friends and their family’s mostly are too, I don’t know any one scared of police, we are all taught to treat them with great respect and don’t be “friendly” per se with them, be professional. Are you Hispanic? Maybe my view is different it’s just because I don’t live in the poorest Hispanic areas, though to be honest it’s not exactly very nice either.
I feel so privileged because I never knew that kind of thing happened before watching this video. In my school, the only reason to call the police for a student was if this student was selling drugs or got on a serious fight, but that was really rare...
@@lemmino1846 in my country, there is a saying. "Quem diz a verdade não merece castigo." The meaning roughly translates to "Those who say the truth deserve no punishment." I think it applies here.
What the video didn't mention is the ending of the first story. I thought he was fired after that. Because he didn't ask permission from his supervisor to arrest the kid. They need permission to arrest someone under 13. That's what I heard.
Honestly, it's pretty ridiculous that American schools use "suspensions" as a punishment. It's exactly what the misbehaving kids want and the opposite of what they need
Exactly. Even as a very young kid, suspensions and sending people out of class never made sense to me because, surely that’s exactly what they want? You’re not teaching them a lesson, you’re trying to make your job easier. Instead of figuring out what the problem is, you just choose to ignore them and focus on the (most likely) smarter kids. As the cycle continues, smarter kids get smarter and dumber kids get dumber - not to mention the sort of mental health problems that could be related.
Don't teachers in US have loco parentis? Why aren't they accompanying the kids to jail? They're letting strangers kidnap and violate the children, rather than teach them how to defuse the situation, be tolerable, act decently and be civil, understanding, and compassionate.
I am a kindergarten teacher and I have been for the last 6 years and I work with ages from 1 to 6. I have been punched kicked pinched and screamed at and I have never even thought of calling the police. I deal with it with kindness but firmness !! I am the adult
Off topic but I've so much respect for you guys.

@@jdl13b I’m a HS teacher at a private boarding school that I live at. A 14 year old got in trouble in my class and walked with me to my house to discuss it.

I go inside my house and he starts knocking on my door and calling my name after I tell him to leave. As frustrated as I was, I was not about about to call the cops on a 14 year old and shortly after he left to avoid getting in more trouble.

@@jusletursoulglobaby that's Bad thinking. Think about the Money you have lost due to the trauma being part of your life for the Rest of your Life, Plus the time Investment.
I had several tantrums as a kid and probably kicked my parents when my tantrums were really bad (sorry mom and dad). 2 parents. TWO people were able to get my tantrums to stop. But several teaches felt the need to call a *POLICE OFFICER* on a child. Disgusting
Why didn't they call the parents though? And if this was a repeat thing why didn't they suspend or expel the child and be done with it? Why involve the police in a school matter? It's not like the child had a weapon and was threatening the lives and safety of everyone around her. This move was absolutely baffling.
Where I'm from, outside the US, if anyone called the cops because they can't handle a 6 year old here's what might happen : -A sane adult would dissuade them. -No Cop or dispatcher would ever consider going, sending anyone. -If anything, that'd be seen as child abuse and the adults calling would at least lose their job. *That wouldn't happen in my country and we never called ourselves the Land of the Free.*
But it’s all to do with race, as you Americans call ethnicity. It’s because black children are misunderstood by white teachers and police, with a terrible education system initially created to exclude and discriminate against them and ever since they’ve forced into horrible situations as a result. You’re entirely missing the point, bruv.
@@walterzamalis4846 thats str8 facts dude!!🙏🏾💯 but i see there isn’t enough blck ppl in the comments😂; but ignoring the factor of race in this situation IS missing the point entirely!!!🙌🏾
@Henry Fidel but it's the racist system. If you had zero racists in the system, it would still be racist. What America needs is an overhaul of the racist laws that have contributed to what is happening to black children.
I can only imagine being a 5 year old getting arrested. Kids that age don’t even understand life, they’re just starting. Most view police as people who help protect. This is just awful :(
@ that’s not what I mean tamper tantrums are some what you punish the kid by time out or by taking away recess not by calling the police she’s a little kid

@@cyberpoint9582 Zero tolerance applies to everyone or to no one.
@ there are multiple ways you can discipline a child though. I don't think being handcuffed by the police is helpful. It's traumatising actually. The emotions the child experiences will be way too intense for any sort of introspection to take place. Of course the child should face consequences for kicking people, but involving the police (who should be spending their time better) is moronic.

@@cheeseballs4255 Sounds like: "HE A GUD BOY!" but with extra words.
That kid will be traumatized for life; in that moment being cuffed and probably fearing she’d go to jail never see her family again. There is a serious problem that is so fundamental to this system it’s beyond reform. It needs to be completely restructured.
@Not Suspicious Human even if "being white does nothing for you", the fact that black people are punished more severely is still apparent. Not being punished as severely seems like it's doing something for you.
US: A 6 year old having a tantrum is concidered a threat, and needs to be handcuffed and taken away from the school. Where i live: A 6 year old having a tantrum gets sent to the principal's office, has a good talk, and goes back to class, with a quick message given to let the parents know what happened when the kid arrives home.
@@night6724 so your saying " it's ok "to call the police on "6 years old" who had a tantrum, and the reason she had tantrum it's bc she developed a bad attitude bc of there black cultural and rap?? hmmmm 🤔🙄🙄
But where you live is exactly how it is here in the US well for me and like all the schools I went to no kids absolutely zero kids I've seen were handcuffed even the ones that bullied an autistic kid and caused a fight
@@night6724 I don’t know if you you know this but you are displaying extreme ignorance and honestly I hope you never end up in a position of power with a mindset like that. If you were a judge you would punish black people harder, if you were a banker you would denie black people loans and as a teacher you would provide unequal opportunity for your students.
Correct me if I'm wrong, but the video didn't go into details about the case. What if the bully was saying mean things about his mom and the other guy stabbed him 16 times in the neck. Yeah, defending himself, but that's a bit overboard.
Let me guess, the BULLY WAS A WHITE CHILD FROM A RACIST HOUSEHOLD? Children are not born racist, it is taught through those closest to them. People, environment,. It's systemic
@Rusty Griswald If you put kids in a closet to punish them instead of talking to them they are never gonna learn why there being punished separate kids and then talk to them that’s a healthy way to do it kids don’t just throw tantrums for no reason.
I mean it's sadly true though.. I got bullied in middle school, and they did nothing. But once I kicked someone in self defense, they called my parents🙄
@Zfb Tln it’s a systemic oppression that’s institutionalized at the most subsidized level. There is no simple “ but why is the black man doing it if it’s racist” gotcha here, there’s years of oppression that have been stacked on immigrant and minority communities that cannot be explained without a good dive into local history.
@Nick Arjomand Sweden is repeatedly held up as having one of the best standards of living in the world, how much better of an example could there be? Maybe Finland? Also it's only some of the US arresting children who have been developing memories in their brains for less than 365 days guys! Good news!
IDK anything about American laws but in Canada it's illegal to for a child 12 and under to be charged, if this happened in Canada the people who tried to arrest a child would be immediately fired from their jobs and sent to the supreme court
Well I get it. Cops have precautions in place to handcuff. It’s more of the teachers fault. She was probably on the call like “I have a student who assaulted me and I need police”
The handcuffs are visually upsetting, sure, but they're not the main thing that's going wrong here. The bigger issue is that neither the school nor the police (and this isn't a police matter to start with, but let's place that aside) waited for the child's parent(s) or other responsible adult to arrive, if they even contacted such people at all. In a frankly terrible hypothetical scenario where you'd have to choose, it's better to handcuff the child and take them to the police station accompanied by a parent than to not handcuff them and take them to the police station on their own.
@@Arthur-rh9tf kids at my school used to fight and even throw bricks at each other and in every case the only person responsible was the parent of the child that got in a fight... how hard can a 6 year old hit someone anyway
You aren't supposed to have food in class...and then you throw it..... 2 rules broken right there, but I bet your prison sentence was due to your insensitivity to starving children worldwide. Take your licks, that was just rude!
I am from India where police is quite untrained, corrupt and brutal. But this will never ever happen here. Never. This is illegal. The principal of the school will be arrested if they call the cops on 10 yr olds
and what the video didn't mention is that even at nurseries Black children are being disciplined harshly too. you see his in orphan homes too.There is a whole report about which kids are abused, adopted first etc...
Trust it’s much more uncomfortable to live through it as a child, have to unlearn it in college, and then only see now that the system’s always been the true problem and not us kids like they drilled into us.
The police had to be called on a freaking 6 year old for throwing a tantrum? Are you kidding me? All they had to do was call the parents to the school to take the child home. It didn't have to rise to the panic level of calling the authorities. And the police cuffing her like she's dangerous? That was ridiculous as I don't know what.
You assume the parents actually care or are able to tend to the call from the school... you also assume that a child doesn't have the ability to hurt an adult, which they do. When angry, some kids can act poseced, and can do the most ruthless, dangerous stuff. What do you then?
@@djbis i had to check your page to see why you think that calling a police on a 6 year old 'Black' child was ok then i found the reason. Seems about white.
@@__nog642 right, so you assume this child was being watched carefully by an adult. And let's not forget that children bite, scratch and can still inflict damage even at a young edge. The parents should deal with it, and not the police, I agree! But then we are assuming that there are responsible parents there to educate and oversee their child's discipline. I have seen kids in public places do some pretty violent stuff, and race makes no difference here.
One of the by products of no longer disciplining children when they misbehave is that we basically have to treat them like adults, and what do you do when an adult misbehaves, you call the police. Corporal punishment and disciplining children should not have been deemed child abuse because the alternative is much more damning to children than simply just spanking them.
Quintinohthree Right because when you teach everyone there won’t be someone who throwing stuff, the only reason people are well behaved in other countries is because of constant fear of punishment. Society requires discipline.
@@KRYMauL No this is just another way Americsn reply on police to "take care of problems" they dont want. There was no reason for those children to have any contact with the police. You're just enabling this bad behavior. And literally no other country does this but the US.
@@KRYMauL Threats of punishment are evidently the least effective method of discouraging bad behavior of any kind. The severity of punishment is immaterial and even the chance of getting caught makes little difference. Bad behavior is not a rational decision weighing benefots against downsides and the odds of either, it's irrational and therefore requires, you guessed it, teaching of some sort to stop. Society requires discipline in that adults should have the discipline not to hit children and not to call the cops when children do.
I hope you become better. I understand that it is hard to view. I apologize for you having to see this video. It shouldn't exist, these statistics should not look the way they do. You are cared about. Best wishes to you and your child.
I can’t believe that some of those police officers can actually do that, how can they sleep at night? How can they even think they’re doing the right thing.
There are plenty of corrupt police, but also plenty of police who simply have to do what they’re told to keep their job. Not every cop enjoys or thinks they’re doing the right thing in cases like this
I don’t even live in a developed country but if a 5 yo was handcuffed for being a troublemaker in class , the po wouldn’t see the light of the next morning
@@g-gon8869 I have never seen a police officer in my school ever. Maybe during an event where one was invited as a guest speaker. I have had classmates who have struck teachers. The action the school took was to call the parents. Thats it.
@@sexychocolateable Yes, but the issue is that DeVos has literally no one in her family who attended public schools, thought bears attacking schools was a common occurrence, and when she had her Senate hearing, even a 5th grader would have been more prepared than her.
She's a kid, like we all throw tantrums sometimes, if you cant handle a child, why build a school? Call their parents and sort it out, god its so messed up.
@@imperatorscotorum6334 1. spankings don’t work, 2. Literally just talk to the child and ask them why there feeling that way it’s much more effective than spankings
They may not have been able to get a hold of the parent. Also teachers can not put there hands on a kid even to restrain them, Unless the kid is in a special class because of some issue. I have volunteered in my kids school for years and have seen kids like this. One kid in 1st grade liked to throw tantrums along with desks chairs and books for no real reason. The tantrum I witnessed he was just going off because the kid across from him wouldn't talk to him, they were having a spelling test. Another kid wanted to stab people with a pen because he liked to hurt people ( he was 9), and another that liked to steal, these are just the ones I have witnessed. I don't know what you do with these kind of kids. The school my kids go to, and I volunteer at, is a private school so the kids I listed were all kicked out after a few months of trying with them, but public schools can't do that. So what do you do with them? There is a lot more to this issue than what is presented in this very short very badly done video.
Quite how arresting a Primary School Child for being naughty isn’t immediately seen as ludicrous is beyond me. Here in Britain we have an expression of exasperation, “Only in America!”
The USA is a living hellhole, it's both infuriating and disgusting to me now. I don't want to touch this thing with a 50 foot stick until Blacks get justice. I hope BLM saves everyone
Same thats how all of my schools have been and at the schools I have been to I have never heard of a black student being treated differently on our campus so I guess its just other parts of the us then

@@rizzgod-wj6ty Do you mean the 6 year old Kaia? I was talking about her. It was in Florida and, like some other states in the US, Florida has no minimum for the age of criminal responsibility.

How did you come to that conclusion? Did you ask all the non-white students to show you their punishments and reasons?? DId you table it all in an Excel spreadsheet? US schools are softer and more liberal than most in the world, In most of the world, even the west, kids must wear uniforms and have regulations for hair, jewellery and behaviour. In Asia schools are very strict. In Islamic countries schools are ultra strict but they dont have problems of delinquency and crime. Schools in the US were much more strict in the 1950's yet delinquency and crime were almost non-existent.
@James Bond Yep, minorities from all over the world send their kids to western schools. Asians out-perform whites. No other race seems to have the same problems as African Americans. Even Africans from Africa dont have the same problems as African Americans because they have been raised with discipline and guidance.
Guy who commented above is ignorant as f. I reside in Brasil, and this is unheard of here. If a 5 year old were to be arrested over a tantrum here, there would be serious consequences. And yes, we do have police and schools, arguably our schools are even better then in the US.

@@jammaschan the video also provides reasoning and evidence as to why they're disproportionately punished, nobody said it *only* happens to black children.

I assume the teachers need medical attention as the cops are called. If not then its the school's fault.

We really owe all this nation's children not only free public education, but one where they feel safe and supported by their community, and don't have to feel afraid of serious and lifelong consequences for perceived slights against authority figures.
Preach, when I eventually found a way to college my K-12 experience in IPS made it really hard for me and my peers to speak up about any issues we had with professors or our college experience because it was drilled into us that you never question authority because they can get away with whatever they want.

If I had not I would have been more than an hour late by time the next bus came. It was hot that day so I took off the thick school polo until I got to campus and stop being sweaty. As soon as I walked into building they rounded up everyone that was late that day because a lot of people were still in halls after first period bell. They decided to make an example out of everyone to warn the other students.
I never had been in any trouble ever at school and had good grades. I was in the biotech special classes called (IB) and wanted to attend an Ivy League. I cried and beg them not to suspend me because a suspension would look bad for colleges. They turned my original 1 day into a week for “theatrics”/“causing a scene”.
After that I stop caring as much about school. I felt like my chances of getting into a top school were ruined. I did end up going to college finally though but at 23 after years of being talked down to by people not smarter than me while working minimal wage jobs. I graduated with a 3.73 gpa in biological engineering. But I always wonder what would have happened had I just made that bus that day. How much further along in life I could have been. I’m definitely not blameless in how I handled the situation after but at 15 my thought processes weren’t perfect, one bad moment felt like my life was over at the time.
So made you miss a FULL day of school, just because you were 15 MINUTES late!

Handcuffing a 6yo ?! Why is that legal?!
The handcuffs are visually upsetting, sure, but they're not the main thing that's going wrong here. The bigger issue is that neither the school nor the police (and this isn't a police matter to start with, but let's place that aside) waited for the child's parent(s) or other responsible adult to arrive, if they even contacted such people at all. In a frankly terrible hypothetical scenario where you'd have to choose, it's better to handcuff the child and take them to the police station accompanied by a parent than to not handcuff them and take them to the police station on their own.

What kind of preschool calls the police instead of the parents??
The police had to be called on a freaking 6 year old for throwing a tantrum? Are you kidding me? All they had to do was call the parents to the school to take the child home. It didn't have to rise to the panic level of calling the authorities. And the police cuffing her like she's dangerous? That was ridiculous as I don't know what.
You assume the parents actually care or are able to tend to the call from the school... you also assume that a child doesn't have the ability to hurt an adult, which they do. When angry, some kids can act poseced, and can do the most ruthless, dangerous stuff. What do you then?

How come the cops have the rights to put cuffs on a child for the smallest of misdemeanour ?
Utterly shameful....
One of the by products of no longer disciplining children when they misbehave is that we basically have to treat them like adults, and what do you do when an adult misbehaves, you call the police. Corporal punishment and disciplining children should not have been deemed child abuse because the alternative is much more damning to children than simply just spanking them.
@@KRYMauL The alternative is to be a teacher, not an executioner.
Quintinohthree Right because when you teach everyone there won’t be someone who throwing stuff, the only reason people are well behaved in other countries is because of constant fear of punishment. Society requires discipline.
@@KRYMauL
No this is just another way Americsn reply on police to "take care of problems" they dont want. There was no reason for those children to have any contact with the police. You're just enabling this bad behavior. And literally no other country does this but the US.
@@KRYMauL Threats of punishment are evidently the least effective method of discouraging bad behavior of any kind. The severity of punishment is immaterial and even the chance of getting caught makes little difference. Bad behavior is not a rational decision weighing benefots against downsides and the odds of either, it's irrational and therefore requires, you guessed it, teaching of some sort to stop.
Society requires discipline in that adults should have the discipline not to hit children and not to call the cops when children do.

I hope you become better. I understand that it is hard to view. I apologize for you having to see this video. It shouldn't exist, these statistics should not look the way they do. You are cared about. Best wishes to you and your child.
I mean how can you arrest a six-year-old that’s going a little too far
As a *black* mother, this was painful to watch

I can’t believe that some of those police officers can actually do that, how can they sleep at night? How can they even think they’re doing the right thing.
they have their moral compass flipped upside down
There are plenty of corrupt police, but also plenty of police who simply have to do what they’re told to keep their job. Not every cop enjoys or thinks they’re doing the right thing in cases like this
It's called racism

She's a kid, like we all throw tantrums sometimes, if you cant handle a child, why build a school? Call their parents and sort it out, god its so messed up.
Right
If a kid acts like that they should get a spanking. Teachers aren’t allowed to do that
@@imperatorscotorum6334 1. spankings don’t work, 2. Literally just talk to the child and ask them why there feeling that way it’s much more effective than spankings
They may not have been able to get a hold of the parent. Also teachers can not put there hands on a kid even to restrain them, Unless the kid is in a special class because of some issue. I have volunteered in my kids school for years and have seen kids like this. One kid in 1st grade liked to throw tantrums along with desks chairs and books for no real reason. The tantrum I witnessed he was just going off because the kid across from him wouldn't talk to him, they were having a spelling test. Another kid wanted to stab people with a pen because he liked to hurt people ( he was 9), and another that liked to steal, these are just the ones I have witnessed. I don't know what you do with these kind of kids. The school my kids go to, and I volunteer at, is a private school so the kids I listed were all kicked out after a few months of trying with them, but public schools can't do that. So what do you do with them? There is a lot more to this issue than what is presented in this very short very badly done video.
@@krystelhardesty9960 From what you can see in the video, she's sitting in the office by the time the police show up, not hurting anyone
Quite how arresting a Primary School Child for being naughty isn’t immediately seen as ludicrous is beyond me. Here in Britain we have an expression of exasperation, “Only in America!”
Ikr, like why the handcuff?
In America we have a variant: "Only in Florida!"
Tom Holland I mean I’m American and I do see this as ludicrous immediately, but I understand what your saying
This isn’t the norm in America

Americans arrest children in school? Wow!!! America just keeps getting weird and weird. Keeps surprising the rest of the world.
American children also occasionally bring a loaded gun to school. It’s a complicated culture but it seems have us completely misunderstood.
The USA is a living hellhole, it's both infuriating and disgusting to me now.
I don't want to touch this thing with a 50 foot stick until Blacks get justice.

Its weird how "normal" it is. Kids in my contry only get suspended for violence. Not for being a kid
If you have to call the police on one of your 6 year old students, then you deserve to be underpaid.

Hello 911, I need urgent police help. A 6 year old student is throwing a tantrum in my school. SEND HELP PLEASE!
Yeah my question is why they even took that call. They could be saving lives yet they chose to arrest a child for being a child.
If would be the reciever at that situation, I could have laughed that off and hung up asap
Imagine what the 6 year old did
I didn’t realize how big of an issue the prison to school pipeline is until my brothers who are non white went to the same schools I did and came home with significantly more punishments for invalid reasons
How did you come to that conclusion? Did you ask all the non-white students to show you their punishments and reasons?? DId you table it all in an Excel spreadsheet? US schools are softer and more liberal than most in the world, In most of the world, even the west, kids must wear uniforms and have regulations for hair, jewellery and behaviour. In Asia schools are very strict. In Islamic countries schools are ultra strict but they dont have problems of delinquency and crime. Schools in the US were much more strict in the 1950's yet delinquency and crime were almost non-existent.
@@tubester4567 mabye the private schools are but public and charter schools are far from liberal...

@James Bond Yep, minorities from all over the world send their kids to western schools. Asians out-perform whites. No other race seems to have the same problems as African Americans. Even Africans from Africa dont have the same problems as African Americans because they have been raised with discipline and guidance.

There aren't a lot of schools in developing countries and police aren't very common.
Guy who commented above is ignorant as f. I reside in Brasil, and this is unheard of here. If a 5 year old were to be arrested over a tantrum here, there would be serious consequences. And yes, we do have police and schools, arguably our schools are even better then in the US.

@@johnthomas1229 A child who is arrested shall not be handcuffed unless the offence is a "grave crime" or that the child forcibly resists the arrest or attempts to flee.(we are talking about teenagers).
physical restraints - where a child is physically immobilised to prevent them from running away - should only be used as a last resort and when it was required to ensure the safety of the child or others.
“Being put in handcuffs is not a form of appropriate physical restraint for children. Are the police involved even trained in the correct technique of using physical restraint on children?”
oh ya we are americans we can still hear gunshots even in the call of duty lobby. lol
@@johnthomas1229 I mean at least educate them. They are children. Hey I used to overturn tables at school and potentially maybe hurt other kids. But did I get arrested for that? I relaized you are half agreeing with ops comment but kicking adults is not crime worthy either. Educate them and they'll understand
For anyone defending the arrest of a child: "He told them he had arrested 6,000 people in his career - the youngest, to that point, was 7. When school employees told him Kaia was 6, not 8 like he thought, he did not seem concerned.
“Now she has broken the record,” he said.
Probably because he sympathises with students that simply want to learn and don't want to be interrupted by tantrums.
@@merry6671 yeah. How about death penalty for student who throw a tantrum. Think of all the good students trying to learn!
@@dickiewongtk Because you give speeding drivers a ticket (punishment) therefore you might as well give any punishment (death-penalty).

@@merry6671 I think they were saying that sarcastically to show that the first comment was wrong because arresting is already too far.
@@angelicabotia8786 this process of "arresting" is literally just having to walk.
If this process of arresting meant restraining the kid, pushing them on the front of the car and yelling at them while aiming your gun at them then i'd agree. But they literally just walk the kid out in a basic convential arrest, very similar to a parent walking the kid out.
The only think funny is the fact that the people at school thought they needed a cop to simply walk a kid out of the class.
That’s just petty man. Arresting a 6yo? Like, what are you even trying to accomplish?
Placing handcuffs on a 6 yr old and I'm supposed to feel protected by law enforcement.
If you and your coworkers got kicked by a kid, you would feel protected when they place cuffs on that kid.

@@jammaschan no.....i wouldn't...get it together bro
@@InsertGenuineName Half troll. What I really feel is that the police shouldnt have been called. However, if the teachers were kicked to the point where they needed emergency medical attention, then cuffing her would be a fair thing to do.
@@AvgJane19 Lets say an adult kicked you until you couldnt walk. Lets say the police cuffed him or her. That make you feel safer? Or do you want him to be able to just push cops over then continue kicking you? I mean the problem with vox is they dont give us context. I assume the teachers need medical attention as the cops are called. If not then its the school's fault. BUT if my assumption is correct, then cuffing the kid is just the same as cuffing the adult, which can protect the victims
That's horrible....how could they do this to a kid
fr man, it aint right
We really owe all this nation's children not only free public education, but one where they feel safe and supported by their community, and don't have to feel afraid of serious and lifelong consequences for perceived slights against authority figures.
How are troublemakers, lost and hostile students handled? Not placed in separate facilities as previously? Not cared for?
Preach, when I eventually found a way to college my K-12 experience in IPS made it really hard for me and my peers to speak up about any issues we had with professors or our college experience because it was drilled into us that you never question authority because they can get away with whatever they want.
I disagree. School, or anything else of high value, should not be given away for free. It should be granted to those that have worked hard for it and deserve it. Otherwise, it will become devalued and ultimately worthless.
See the problem with this is oftentimes their community doesn't support them
@@loupertech i disagree with you, because not giving education go those who would not be able to afford it would widen even more the gap between social classes, creating even more societal problems like violence and discrimination.
