Internet users respond to the viral video of a youngster throwing chai at a teacher in Flint, Michigan
People who disapproved of the behaviour of the pupils at schools, where violent episodes have become frequent occurrences, have expressed their displeasure at the video in large numbers. In response to a video, users of the social media platform X, formerly Twitter, lamented the nation’s failing educational system and how kids there no longer respect those in positions of authority.
A user commented that it seems like the concept of fundamental respect for others has been lost by the contemporary youth generation. and in particular for those who have authority over them. It all begins at home. If it doesn’t occur there, it won’t occur in front of the public.
In response, a netizen claimed that since kids these days are addicted to their phones, they are more concerned with getting more likes on social media than with learning to have strong morals.
The teacher is now stable
Former Detroit Police Chief James Craig condemned the student’s behaviour on Twitter and expressed his dissatisfaction with the nation’s failing educational system. The video sums up the sorry condition of education in Michigan perfectly: there is no sense of direction or order, no regard for teachers, and worst of all, there is no learning. Lack of education among Michigan’s youth is a surefire way to see rises in crime, unemployment, and social disorder.
The unidentified schoolteacher who was taken to the hospital urgently was discharged that day. Superintendent of Flint Community Schools Kevelin Jones added that the student would be held accountable for his conduct.
