Teacher of the year? Tells fighting students to 'shut up and sit down'
While this is certainly not the course of action most teachers should take given what could happen - it was pretty refreshing to see a teacher unafraid to discipline unruly students. One student gets up from his seat and confronts another student, who then stands up. Before the situation escalates any further, the teacher steps in and delivers an epic speech, ending the confrontation immediately. Teacher of the year? Ref. Source 3
The teacher took the right attitude but isn't this what is expected of a teacher? Why does something like this make the news or are most teachers in the US just going to sit down and allow the students to beat up on one another?
