... young man's behavior. I think the teacher handled it well, from what I saw... he did not escalate. I would not recommend any consequences for either the student or the teacher. There was nothing on the tape, but other students can speak about how the teacher used the word. If the teacher used it in a way to provoke the student - attention getting, but unacceptable - that would be wrong. I have seen this discussion about the word... it ending in "...er" versus it ending in "...a" and I think discussion is needed. I think people need to know the ways the word is used, and what is offensive.
