I'm an immigrant, so I have a vantage point here others may not. I remember being bewildered at how belligerent fellow troubled kids were with their elders (especially teachers and their parents*), to the point where it was often impossible for the teacher to carry on with her lesson plan for that day because most of the time was spent with cops/security guards or the teacher crying in a corner. I'm surprised at the resistance rayiner is getting. I'm thinking it is likely due to folks here having been brought up in suburban bubbles and being completely ignorant of how bad the situation is in a lot of inner city schools. *edit: I suspect folks here will interpret the term "troubled kid" in their own cute ways, like not following directions on how to do a math problem because the little Euler-streaked student found a *better* way and he'll not listen to the authority on how to do the problem the conventional way, don't you suppress his creativity! No, I'm talking about students like these: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PpDFBxKcOXY https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PpDFBxKcOXY where in the back of your mind the calculation taking place is 'is he going to hit me? If I hit him first, can I get away without being physically hurt? I have a PhD in physics, what am I doing here babysitting these hellspawn clowns? But if I hit first, what kind of administrative bullshit fallout do I have to deal with?'
