News like this destroy our mental health without serving any purpose but to make the website some sweet ad-money. Click it, engage and soon we'll get one news article for every recorded act of violence in the world. Congratulations, you just lost a little more faith in humanity, making your perceived reality more scary and unsafe.

[–] Garbagio@lemmy.zip 10 points 5 days ago

1000%. Look, it's sad, but it is one thing in a sea of endless information. At best a reader walks away more scared of the world. At worst, there is an entire electorate that will walk away more violent towards others. Deadass these articles have a role in the global rise of fascism.

[–] TWeaK@lemmy.today 7 points 5 days ago

Not to mention the fact this is a UK media outlet sharing a story from the US - and it's not even their reporting but just a regurgitation of an actual local news station.

How sad, she was doing her job here. It is a very hard and underpaid field, and most people never think of it. May she rest in peace.

[–] Bosht@lemmy.world 10 points 5 days ago (1 children)

Critically, criminally underpaid. Had a good friend that did it for over 8 years. Never got a raise, continually dealt with the worst kids and rehabilitated them. Fucking saints in a largely thankless field.

[–] Tollana1234567@lemmy.today 5 points 5 days ago

alot of teachers quit during the pandemic, because of childrens you cant discipline in class anymore. in the 90s and 2000s teachers had more power by giving them "Referrals" which essentially a academic complaint, and can hold back s tudents,,,etc. plus in the 2000s they already started the problem with participation grades: passing people who had no business of passing just for the sake of funding.

there was another article a while back, where a teacher took away a 15yo phone, and beat her with an inch of her life. he was a huge dude and had mental issues, in other schools.

[–] flightyhobler@lemmy.world 21 points 6 days ago (4 children)

Was it a 15 year old phone? Did the teacher do the beating or was the teacher the big dude with mental issues? What happened in other schools?

[–] Pat_Riot@lemmy.today 8 points 6 days ago (1 children)

The way I interpreted it was a large 15 year old male with mental issues, who was a problem in other schools, became violent when the teacher confiscated their phone.

[–] flightyhobler@lemmy.world 6 points 6 days ago

Yeah me too, but I burned more calories from that mental exertion than from taking a brisk walk.

Try adding more text to your context window, or switch to a model with more parameters. Assuming the text seems unparsable to your setup.

[–] snugglesthefalse@sh.itjust.works 1 points 5 days ago* (last edited 5 days ago) (1 children)

Idk if you're being deliberately obtuse or just didn't understand but I interpreted it as the 15 year old had their phone taken then beat the teacher within an inch of their life and the student had apparently had past issues, also they were big. Context + some creative interpretation makes it pretty easy to puzzle this one out.

[–] flightyhobler@lemmy.world 2 points 5 days ago

Wow. Sounds like such a simple statement once you put the words like that. Almost like we shouldn't even need creativity to make sense of it in the first place.

[–] WhyJiffie@sh.itjust.works -4 points 6 days ago (2 children)

and how do you beat someone with an inch of a life? what is an inch of a life??

[–] snugglesthefalse@sh.itjust.works 3 points 5 days ago

A pretty common saying that means nearly dead

[–] Tollana1234567@lemmy.today 2 points 5 days ago

causing severe enough injuries to almost dying or getting sent to hospital.

I'm pretty sure this is the one you're thinking of:

That was pretty rough to watch because he was like twice her size.

[–] Tollana1234567@lemmy.today 3 points 5 days ago

yea that one.

That kid just ruined a lot of lives

[–] phoenixz@lemmy.ca 1 points 4 days ago

Meadowbridge Academy is a “therapeutic residential school providing comprehensive treatment to youth and young adults with mental health issues, behavioral difficulties, and complex trauma histories,”

Oh god, is that another one of those American child torture prisons that they extremely euphemistically call "therapeutic school"? It has to be as the name is so vague and it would explain why this student wanted to leave so badly.

That kid is a natural, time to start training for MMA
