The next generation needs to toughen up anyway. This is the perfect way to make them less soft.
Oh, Los Angeles. You are the city where dreams come true, and barring that, a perfect forum for the crazies to run around unperturbed. That is your gift: a cocktail of shared psychosis that sociologists could study for decades.
When you’re a teacher, you’re supposed to instill tradition and standards in the students that you come in contact with. If you’re an infamous teacher you do things like put them in civil war re-enactments or — barring the necessary funds for costuming and firearms — fight clubs. David Fincher style, no-holds barred, let’s whoop on Jared Leto’s face fightclubs. Which is exactly what a teacher, Stephen Wesley, is catching flack in Los Angeles for doing.
And he wasn’t exactly a teacher. He taught probation camp, a place where children go after they run illegal rings of things. So maybe he was giving them some more hands-on experience that they were otherwise lacking. And by hands on, I mean repeated punches to the face. Students who were engaged in the club told Wesley the security cameras taping the fights were broken, so he was free to do things like cheer them on, and coach from the sidelines. You know, helping out the troubled youth.
I just wish teachers did this in the suburbs, and not just in probation camps. The suburbs have enough people pretending to be hard that need to be punched in the face.
