My sister is currently trying to teach right now and she tells me that he's harassed all the time by her students because she is young and she is a female and if she shows any sign of weakness, they'll step all over her... so all I'm sayin is I'd like to see the surrounding story.
I was also talking about this story with some other people and they said that these same kids were arrested because the website that they posted their videos on was investigated by police and it was found that these same kids videotaped themselves vandalizing people's houses during Christmas by ripping off lawn ornaments and stuff... soooo... come to your own conclusions as to what type of classroom that was.

It doesn't matter whether or not this is the "trouble class." The kid was, arguably, being an ass, but the teacher still has no right to force this on him. And, whether or not this kid's doing things he's not supposed to, how does that have any effect on forcibly making him stand?
And while I'll buy that a teacher might have to show backbone lest the students trample them, forcing a student to stand as this teacher did doesn't really fall into having a backbone.
