I'm guessing no one realized just how awful it was going to be. I kept it "simple," but I noticed that one of the recording kids actually supported Officer Slam's actions. Maybe he'll benefit from the lesson even more than others.
As for the teacher, despicable. He had to know that escalating the incident by initiating this process could result in real victimization of this student, including bringing in Officer Slam and even criminal charges. And he did it anyway. My fingers are crossed big time that the kids will have seen the last of that teacher too. If "zero tolerance" should be applied to disobedient students (GIANT "if"
, then why not to willfully negligent teachers who fail/betray their precious trust so completely?
But, oh gosh! -- adolescence lasts into the 30s now? Bad, BAD news. I remember being dismayed when I learned that period of peculiar semi-insanity wouldn't end until about the late 20s. Of course, I was still waiting for my own kids to stop dismaying and start talking to me again about then too.... I have the greatest respect for, and awe of, competent, caring high school teachers.
