WIBU if I complain about this teacher?

Yes you would be unreasonable. Your child assaulted another in a premeditated attack. That is a crime. The teacher used reasonable force to prevent the other child being hurt. Of course they can physically prevent a student from beating another student.

You’re lucky if the police aren’t called to arrest your son.

That poor teacher! And you want her punished for it? wtaf am I reading here?! There was a threat in the room and she wanted it removed in a reasonable way. Please tell us he's not upset a teacher pushed him under these circumstances?! Your parenting concerns are absolutely twisted.
If it was my son, I'd be taking him to her personally so he can apologise for scaring her and with a promise to not be a little thug in the future. It's rare that I'm gobsmacked but this... Wow.

Damned if we do, damned if we don’t!

Flip the perspective to the other parents view…. My son was attacked by another child and the teacher stood by and didn’t intervene!

Please go and complain to the school because it will enable them to see what poor parenting is going on at home.

If it were my son I would drag him to the school and make him apologise profusely to that poor head of year. As his Mother I would also apologise on his behalf. She has probably gone home traumatised tonight after a thug came in a started punching another pupil. That poor woman.

I would be utterly astounded that any parent would complain. She was defending the boy being attacked.

Wow. Just wow.

How could she have done it if he was walking away? If he was walking out the room, he would have had his back to her because he was leaving.
Your ds is getting into problems with a younger pupil. That in itself isn’t good. Then he so little control of his temper that he goes looking for the boy to restart the argument despite knowing he’s with a member of staff. He clearly has some anger and aggression issues.
I would imagine it was a stressful situation having an angry teenage boy bursting into the room. I always told my boys, when they were at secondary school, that they could be physically intimidating to female members of staff and therefore please treat them with respect.
The only thing the school has done wrong here is not sent their teacher on a Team Teach course, which teaches teachers how to de escalate situations and restrain students when necessary.

Exactly. I hope that teacher reports your son to the police and he's charged with assault.

OP you are being sooooo unreasonable. Stop wasting time over this and concentrate on your son who clearly needs a LOT of help right now.

Violent boys grow into violent men. I'd be very frightened in your shoes.

Your son was obviously in the wrong here as you know - it sounds like the teachers were doing their best in a stressful situation and they didn't know what he was about to do. Your focus should be on addressing your son's behaviour, rather than nitpicking at the response from the poor teachers!

She was caught in the middle of a volatile situation and breaking it up as quickly as possible. She probably felt threatened.

If your son is this unstable I'm sorry but I wouldn't trust his version of events (she pushed him after he'd already started walking away).

I get you're in a horrible situation as a parent, but focus your energies on getting your son in line and not on the poor teacher caught in the middle of that disgusting behaviour by your son.

And in court in a few years' time before he gets sent down.

Are you also going to complain in a few years about the police when their throwing him in prison. Or blame his future girlfriends when he puts them in hospital. Open your eyes and help your son otherwise it will end really badly

Jesus Christ are you serious, your son went looking for a fight and attacked another boy, and your are moaning that the teacher split them up and put her hands on your son.
And I think you should be “not happy with” your son attacking somebody unprovoked rather than how it was split up.

I’ve read some batshit stuff on here, but you win for me!

Parents like you are the reason our society is the way it is.

You need to accept that if your kid is going to be violent then people are going to use reasonable force to stop him. Our staff literally do positive handling training for this very reason.
I doubt that she waited until his back was turned and shoved him. There will probably be CCTV and you can ask for the teacher to give their side, but don't make a complaint.

If your son was the one being attacked, what would you think then?

I would be so ashamed. Chocolates and an apology would go a little way to assuaging that.

Wtf have I just read?! This is why kids grow up to be entitled arseholes. They expect their parents to rush in and defend them even when they're massively in the wrong.

Your son was massively out of order and you even more so for not seeing that

When my son was in Year 7, another child in his class accused my son my saying something nasty to him. My son hadn't, was sitting there minding his own business. The child got up from his chair and started shouting at my son, and stormed over. His Tutor immediately got his body inbetween the other child and my son (who was sat down), because this child was going to hit my son. Thankfully my son was OK, a little shaken, the child was sent to the HOY and I was grateful for the teacher physically getting in the way, meaning if any punches had been thrown, he'd have been thumped and not my son. Your son was completely in the wrong, he burst into a classroom (with 3 friends), shouted and hit another child, who was in isolation with a teacher. This incident was unprovoked. The teacher was protecting the other child (and herself) by shouting and pushing him away. You need to focus on your son's behaviour, and working with him and the school to sort it out. The teacher was on her own in class, and nearly had a full scale riot on her hands, and you're worried about her shouting at your son and pushing him away from her and the other child?!! She did what she felt she needed to keep the other boy and herself safe.

You're wrong, school staff are allowed to put hands on students, especially in situations like these.

Wow enjoy visiting your son in prison in a few years. Of course that won’t be his fault either…

Your son turned around to escalate the situation again. Fuck being a teacher these days. Sort your twat of a kid out.

Being pushed away by a little female teacher will be the least of his concerns when he’s in jail… which is where he’s headed. Discipline him now while you still can.

Your son is thug and a bully, and you need to be having a serious, serious think about your parenting style, and as for even considering complaining about that poor teacher.....I'd be phoning the school with a grovelling apololgy.
