Well I suppose throwing a desk at someone is kinda teaching them a "communication skill", albeit a very poor and peculiar sort of communication skill.
My mother is a head teacher, she knows all the tricks. She knows how their minds work and how to deal with them. The real difficulty is when a newbie teacher doesn't know to watch carefully and learn troublemaker management from her - kinda like a rookie cop not giving proper backup to the veterans. Her (public) school is not dysfunctional though, so she gets her own backup from the Principal and deputy.
I pity good, experienced teachers working in dysfunctional schools though, their talents are wasted
