r10 In our day, (mine, anyway), this wouldn't be considered "violent" but just acting up.
But in that day, bullying also meant something different and most kids learned to cope. . . whereas now, they have limited survival skills.
I'm guessing because of his immediate reaction to the professor, whatever happened before was with another authority figure... that should have found someone to take him for a walk (my, my, my day. there would have been students aides for that, if not other staff or even security) or have him wait it out in the nurses office where he could be observed until he calmed down. Even the possibility of being sent home - but loss of days, anymore, affects your GPA... and of course, there's the school stats, they have their incentives (closely tied to public funding) for keeping students too.
But it's possible if there were other staff involved, he's typically "normal" and having a bad day... thus they weren't aware it might blow up into an issue.
If one had to guess based on his symptoms and actions, then it's possible he's going through withdrawal... from what? it would match up with skipping more than one ritalin dose or other adhd medications, many anxiety medications too, among a number of others.
If he's not getting them via his GP, then it can be rather difficult to get renewals from a psych. national (honest, it's an international) shortage... (many more mental health professionals had quit. normal for newbies to quit within two years or less. those with ten years or more usually wait until retirement. On the other side, it's driving up salaries, so keep that in mind you broke bastards looking for a new gig. And we've been in a shortage for over a decade now. covid and the surrounding chaos was the last straw for many)
Since it's the DL, we can contrast with the other stories... the over sixteen mental case, which there were several problems in how they handled taking his gaming system away. . especially if they had any special education training. the before and after videos suggest they didn't.
If this kid had repeat episodes, back in the day, he would have been put in a SED class, sister to Sp.,Ed. for emotional disturbances (albeit, parents ashamed of their crotch spawn were afraid of their children being labeled as "disturbed" or being put into a "special" class. The classes were normal work and setup more like GATE (gifted and talented) programs, where most kids rather than going to multiple classes stayed in their home room or only had a few mainstream classes... and such rooms usually came equipped with a 'panic room'
but we end up with the same problems as the other story... most schools cut those kind of programs from gate to s/p/ed because of funding and it looks nice on brochure.
