      Unless, and hear me out, they beat that child with multiple bananas at home for 6 straight hours. I mean they pelt him non stop with those large, hard, and un-ripe South American bananas that are like 2lbs of concrete. Then they send him to school with one of those things in his backpack to induce trauma to be a better human.

    This isn’t even that bad.

    The reason bullies get away with being bullies at school is cause their parents also tend to be bullies. So when the little shit gets in trouble for being a bully, his fat parents will waddle in and bully the stuff and faculty for daring to discipline their little skid mark. Faculty don’t wanna deal with this, so they let the little shits get away with everything and only punishing the kids who fight back

    Frustrating it may be, but the alternative like not teaching is far worse.

    Bad parenting is expected, unfortunately. That I have read domestic violence has to do with truancy and antisocial behavior.

    Punch a teacher in the face, get a free banana. Sounds like a great deal for the kid. Maybe if he shoots his teacher he’ll get a “calming Nintendo”.

    Wife used to be a teacher. Key word USED to.

    Had a student who regularly threatened to kill her and destroyed her classroom at least twice a week. She would have to clear all the students into the hall while he went on a rampage in there.

    The AP would just come down and give him video games to “calm him down”. Guess who learned to freak out for rewards?

    Dear Parent,

    In an effort to break the routine of unacceptable parenting, I would like to demonstrate what you can do with banans. First, get a large bunch of preferrably green bananas. Remove two of these bananas from the bunch. Take one banana, and insert the stem rigorously into your right ear canal. Repeat with the other banana in your left ear canal. Do not remove the banana until they begin to wither.

    And thats it!

    The effort to reduce your child’s violent outbursts remains the same, but at least you will be able to share your Superpower of Narrow Intelligence with the public! Everyone will unequivocally know that you are a moron.

    All the problematic peers I’ve known either were born into a neglectful or hostile household, or were neurodivergent of some kind and didn’t fit in with the environment we were in, since those who were typical and were born into understanding families would just do what they were supposed to do.

    Due to how schools where I live are supposed to be looking out for signs of neurodivergence or other differences, while also being underfunded without a justification, many students aren’t even seen and once they get to middle or high school, they become the violent and problematic ones.

    Then again though, it’s also the parents’ responsibility to make sure their own child is heard and cared for to prevent such outbursts from happening in the first place, and those neglectful or hostile households are likely a result of the parents not understanding what being mentally healthy means.

        the parent got told that his kid assaulted a teacher and this is the response, raving about some “calming bananas”. Also not a word of apology.

          By the fact there is no salutation and no signature, and the text clearly doesn’t stand by itself as a complete reply to anything, I’m going to assume it’s a short excerpt from the email reply, and that there was an apology.
