    Yeah, it’s unacceptable, but it’s also unacceptable to call a child a “garbage person” for acting like a child.

      I wouldn’t call a particular kid a garbage person to or around that kid in consideration for the effect it might have on that kid. Between you and me kids who do that are a fucked up mess who probably aren’t going to end well.

      Regardless of the labelling, punching someone in the face is absolutely not “acting like a child”, it’s acting like a garbage person. That shit should not be tolerated or excused away to complain about labelling.

      And honestly, excusing away a kid battering their teacher as “acting like a child” is pretty goddamned unacceptable too.

        My little brother threw a chair at his preschool teacher. This is absolutely shit kids do, that they need to be taught is unacceptable. You don’t teach kids to be better by writing them off as garbage humans, because they’re still learning.

        If you call your five year old garbage for acting out, you’re a shitty parent.

          How old is your little brother and how is his life going? If its going well I’m pretty sure it involved some intensive parenting or counseling.

          You can call a kid being a garbage person a garbage person. Doesn’t mean you won’t help them and correct the behavior.
