Just to clarify. I was punished, and rightfully so, for being an a hole. Not for arguing with a mod.

Well, that makes one of us...

Anyway, I stand by my comment that this kid was disrespectful and out of line. He should be punished.
 
Well, we don't know what prior steps had been taken. And, I can tell you from my own experiences in dealing with a school system who is more concerned about "privacy" than anything else, I couldn't possibly tell you if any actions have been taken to improve teachers or resolve student issues. Those private meetings simply don't always work. Even repeated meetings on the issues don't necessarily improve situations.

I have tried my best to teach my children respect for authority without crushing their spirit. Because I believe we have to leave some of the "spark" so that we don't raise generations of "followers". Would I be angry with my child if s/he had an angry outburst toward a teacher? Absolutely! And, regardless of any school punishment or not, there would be punishment at home. But, I've also had to work with my son on standing up (respectfully, of course) for himself in some situations with teachers at school. I would prefer to raise a leader than a follower.

We are all human, and youth are more likely to have these type of emotional outbursts. Should future schools know that he has a tendency toward these emotional outbursts? No, because I suspect over time he will mature and overcome that tendency.

I have no opinion on the topic of origin other than my usual general statement that if I had a kid in public school, I'm quite sure I would be in jail at some point.

Respectfully says it all. No one is saying to hush, or not speak up, it is how it was done. I also have agreed this is a teen and yes it happens (outburst) but to agree to his method yet speak (in general not you) of how people are disrespectful just seems hypocritical to me.

I think most everyone agrees that the rant was out of line, though his concerns are valid. Madea has a way of saying what others are trying to say with more eloquence and grace. :)
