Thread: Should this teacher keep his job?

This one is interesting, and depending on how you think about it, disappointing and sad.

I have friends who are teachers, and seeing as I can barely stand being around teenagers (no offense if you are one) for 5 minutes in the mall, I can how the guy can lose it. But on the other hand, if you sign up and train to be a teacher... you need patience. The job isn't for everyone. Despite the years of service, should this guy get to keep his job just based on the evidence in this video (below)?



Here's the story. Words by Frances Martel at Mediaite

"Don’t let anyone tell you teaching is an easy job. This isn’t the first or last time, but a Tennessee high school teacher seems to have suffered a nervous breakdown in the classroom and, shouting for everyone to “shut up,” repeatedly, began to throw furniture. As a student had the tech-savvy to take out a cell-phone camera, Donald Wood’s breakdown will now probably go viral.

Wood had been teaching math for seventeen years At McGavock High School in Tennessee before his outburst, which included, besides profanity and physical violence, a confession that he had started a fire inside the school. No word yet on whether Wood’s breakdown was in any way provoked or if he had a past history of mental instability. In any case, no one was harmed save Wood, who was reportedly escorted out of the premises in a fit of profane shouting. It’s like the ending of a John Hughes movie, except the teacher is not a one-dimensional antagonist but instead seems to be a human being in need of much help."

Sorry guys,youtube put a stop on the video...

I found it on another website:
Footage Of Teacher Donald Wood's Classroom Rage At McGavock High School, Nashville, Tennessee - Nashville, Tennessee - Up-video.com

Yes, this teacher should be fired.
Sad as it is, you can't have someone with mental instabilities trusted with a class of 20-30 people.

LOL that site sucked and video also but thanks

Anyway this guys shouldn't be a teacher. At least not at that school. He doesn't seem happy. Couldn't tell with his psycho grin.
Teens can be annoying that is for sure but so can people of all ages. I feel bad for the few students in that class maybe trying to have a normal day of school.

The guy looks like patrick bateman's father lol

Guy should be fired. If you can't handle the heat, stay out of the kitchen ;)

I agree completely.

He should definitely be fired!
What if your kid was in that classroom?

Of course he should be fired, you have to deal with that if your a teacher.
