What causes this?

Being raised soft/gentle “ gentle parenting” Coming single parent household. I wont say which gender cause they easily get offended. If you have a father you are afraid of, you wont go around bullying elders like that

No discipline instilled in him at home, now he thinks he can go anywhere and won’t be told anything. He’s become a boss at home and thinks he is a boss everywhere. These types eventually learn the hard way on the streets, that they are not the boss.

'SCHOOLS ARE NOT LOSING CONTROL OF CLASSROOMS. THEY ARE MANAGING THE CONSEQUENCES OF SOCIETY A THAT STOPPED ENFORCING BOUNDARIES. A TEACHER CAN'T BE THE ONLY ADULT EXPECTED TO SAY "NO. "

The law is against the teacher taking any disciplinary action against students, sad

Pure disrespect of elders and parents are to blame

It starts at home.

Yellow shirt🤣 Never beating the allegations

Woke parents who have outsourced discipline to teachers. When teachers try to discipline their I'll mannered children they go 'looking' for the teacher.

Township ke nonsense

When you were not properly told the truth about the hardships of life. Ingane ize icabange ukuthi iyofundela uthisha nodumo lombhedo esikoleni. Now he thinks, he's "That Guy"

Umntfwana kabani lona - it take us back at home🏡 this are fruit of the tree they planted at home.

I really feel sorry for teachers in SA

As a teacher, just walk away, let the bully think he's goated, give him a 30% even if he does not deserve it and fast track his exit from the system. Ingane engayalwa ekhaya izoyalwa yimpilo and harshly.

The rot at home is manifested in the children wherever they are.

At wht pnt will this kids be held accountable, all of you are blaming everyone but the kid. At his age he knows what's wrong and what's right. History is littered with people who chose to be thugs coming from well structured homes / have model citizens who came from broken homes

Fatherless. Gents we need to do better 🙏🏾

Lack of discipline at home. Once a child lacks discipline at home, they can not be expected to respect a stranger when they cant do that at home.

Parents. Nothing else, Parental failures. I would visit him at home after school ask him to repeat this.

Lack of positive role model at home, soft parenting, probably even bomalume are drunkards. I will permit the teacher to wallop him if he ever disrespect them

during this phase boys establish themselves personally on how they want to be spoken to,handled, Basically they want respect..whether they give it or they give they can't tell.they live in their own heads Pela the balls are growing..they will become erratic

This boy is from a very deermaakaar home.

You still asking the cause this is unacceptable behavior, this child must be disciplined, the youth of south africa is disrespecting they elder, its appalling really

@Orkney_Said Poor parenting and a zero consequence culture where kids are told they have rights but never that those rights come with responsibilities.

Lack of father definitely and having a wrong influence where he stays. Otherwise I hope the teacher will leave him to protect his reputation and job. The only time I would react in such situations is when you attack me, wife and kids. Even if I am scared of you it won't end well.

Government & society. Government took away the parents & teacher's rights to discipline a child. What happened to "it takes a village" ? In this case, "the village" failed to raise this human with discipline & respect his elders.

No father figure, respect as you can see by his shoe's comparing to other kids ke "Kleva ya bari".

Not raised well. Being raised well comes with a moral compass to distinguish between right and wrong, between old and young. Clearly he also talks back at his parents

This type grow up on the streets. No respect for elders. They see everyone as their mate

Baze basizala isilwane somfana, umgulukudu

Discipline starts at home. This is the failure of parenting or lack thereof.

Soft parenting

Black schools are a result of disfunctional households first. Teachers are in trouble shem

Kunzima kufundisa legenge mina angeke ngilunge.... education will fire me immediately.

In our time we never disrespect teachers like this
