A teacher like that deserves about as much respect as he is willing to give his students. It seems to me that both the kids and him dont have any respect for eachother. Each have their own reasons, I'm sure, but a teacher should have common sense to realize that he is dealing with children. Teenage children, but children. When he reaches the point of yelling the way he did, all respect for him from the children goes right out the window. At that point, in the children's minds, its all about their power over authority. They weild enough power to get him to scream at the top of his lungs and to actually get to the point of using physical force against a student. Any teacher like that should not hold the job. You DO NOT use physical force against a child, teenager or not. It is your responsibility to teach your students the subject you are designated to teach them, thats it.
School is not about conformity. It is about learning the subjects that are provided. A child is sent to school to learn his 3 R's and maybe a little physical fitness along the way. We live in a country and a society of freedom, college understands this and enforces that belief. Lower levels of education are just learning this. A child may be young, but they deserve the same levels of freedom and respect a college student recieves. They are human beings as well, not drones to be whipped into line, adults often forget this.
