Video captures high school student 'body slamming' teacher for confiscating his cellphone

[NucksPatsFan]

Let the kid learn the hard way. Let him use his cell phone all year, and when it's exam time, he'll fail cause he wasn't paying attention. Think he'll use his phone when he's repeating grade 10? Only way kids will learn is the hard way.

I don't think he'd care about repeating the 10th grade. If he's already this obsessed with his phone, and has such a lack of respect for authority, you're probably dealing with a career, "Would you like fries with that?" guy.

Where was the body slam?

[nucklehead]

Forget where I saw this but: "He's going to jail".

[The Magician]

We would have never laid a hand on a teacher back in the day. Then again, we were raised with respect back then. Oh, and the fear of our father when he got home from work if we did something stupid.

Most kids don’t today either though. The farthest i’ve ever seen it go is yakking back and forth between the teacher and student, and even then it wasn’t really serious. Pretty sure this happened a few times “back in the day” when they took this away from you.

Come on, I'm not that old. It was more like this, and then the teacher smacked you in the side of the head with the receiver.

[Butters Stoch]

If that teacher dared to hit the kid back in self defence, he'd be accused of being a racist and a riot would break out.

[Junkyard Dog]

He going to jail.

Dumb kid. Teacher was only doing that because he cared for your education, clearly more than you do.

[Rick Grimes]

Kids and people are obsessed with their technology devices. It's become a sickness this whole digital age. Take me back to the 80's when all this non-sense didn't exist.

It existed back then, the difference is, we didn't have the internet to tell us about it.

Better to be informed and try to learn from it than to live in ignorance.

[Toni Zamboni]

teacher be like,

this is what i think of your phone kid!

[kazin!]

Kids AND teachers use their phones excessively in school now. Let them fail.

[Mr.DirtyDangles]

My brother is like that. Sometimes I make things up to see if he's even paying attention

Oh man i bust my buddy all the time. Some of his answers are gold though :D

[Mr.DirtyDangles]

Yes, and its only the beginning..

i am a tad scared already bro....

[hsedin33]

Hardly a body slam lol but yeah I could not agree more. It was so much simpler and peaceful without people being able to contact you at any point of the day. The grip that cell phones have on humanity will never be released. It is only a matter of time until sub dermal cellys are implanted in our skulls. This is not a joke.

With cell phones stapled to peoples faces you cannot even have a conversation with people sitting across from you and actually look them in the eyes. Remember when you had to answer to find out who it was ??? Lmao people have become so shallow and weak they need to see who it is before they make up their mind if they want to speak to someone.

Society has completely lost it's marbles.

Something as simple as a solar flare could easily wipe out all our cell phone and GPS communications. So it's grip isn't as absolute as you think.

[Miss Korea Bob.Loblaw]

Simple solution to preventing use of phones in class... use a signal interferer, rendering mobile usage useless.

I could point out plenty of classmates, even have seen similar incidents, during my time in junior high and high school where a student would take any opportunity to get into a confrontation with a teacher, over something like notes being passed around, handwritten on paper. The confiscated object is really arbitrary and the only thing that really can be attributed to technology in this instance is the ability to rapidly spread the evidence of the incident on a worldwide scale.

Just think about what you're saying and stay in class. You'd have to jam the whole school of all wireless telecommunications. There is already a place like that, and its leader goes by "Kim Jeong Un"

Something as simple as a solar flare could easily wipe out all our cell phone and GPS communications. So it's grip isn't as absolute as you think.

Or a box-shaped roomba.

Third degree crime

Conviction of a third degree crime carries a potential prison sentence of at least three years up to five years, and a fine that could be up to $15,000.

Aggravated assault is a third degree crime when committed in the second, sixth, eighth, ninth, or tenth way detailed above. It is also a third degree crime when committed in the seventh way but only if a victim suffers a simple bodily injury - if the victim suffers a serious or significant bodily injury, then it is a crime of the second degree.

Stuff like this is why I don't have clash of clans on my phone. The Google privacy terms of service state they can take any information they gather (cell phone calls etc) and give to whomever the wish under 'good-will'. They literally use the term good-will. Sooo, yah, we aren't as free as we think we are.

[Gross-Misconduct]

Teacher had no right to take his phone. Thats his private property.

Good for that kid.

Patiently waiting for said solar flare (it cant come soon enough)

Posted from your computer/laptop/phone digitally on a high speed internet connection.

If it really was the 80's you would never have heard about this (it probably would have still happened over something else though), and you wouldn't be posting it either.
