You could never pay me enough to teach kids over the age of 12 – I just wouldn’t be able to cope with the pressure and lack of respect from some students. In fact, I’d do exactly what a teacher named Donald Wood does in this video.
Donald Wood, a teacher at McGavock High School in Nashville, Tennessee, was led out of his classroom in handcuffs after losing his temper at a classroom full of ignorant and unteachable kids.
After trying and failing to get his class to be quiet and let him do his job, he resorted to throwing tables around, with one even smashing through the window. It was at this point the clearly suffering teacher was taken to hospital for treatment.
Wood is getting a hard time but I don’t think it’s justified. Sure, he should have just left the room to cool off rather than doing what he did, but it’s those kids that are to blame.
They should all be ashamed of themselves, and the ones leading the rebellion should forgo their right to a free education. Because what they did here was abhorrent, driving a man to the verge of a nervous breakdown.
