This is why the teacher in question should be offering more than what he did to his disruptive pupil, he probably lived up - or down - to the young person's expectations of him and the response he would get from his behaviour generally, and reinforce the idea he had of what was expected of him.

I fully empathise with your first paragraph Anne, but question whether anyone has the right to judge the actions of the teacher in question without knowing the full circumstances of the case.
After reading your previous posts, I suspect that you know as well as I do that you can work on building a relationship with some children for a long time and make remarkable advances through difficult circumstances only for all that effort to be undone by the actions of a third party in a few moments. We don't know exactly what happened and should maybe consider that before condemning said teacher for hat he did or did not offer?
