I think it had something to do with her thinking he was going to hit or had already hit one of the girls in the class. Reprehensible behavior, she should be prosecuted for assault on a minor.

Here's the other extreme. My wife worked for a few years as a special education assistant in the local school system (elementary school level). Her, and the teachers/assistants, were specifically instructed that they couldn't even restrain a child when he/she was violent and endangering the other children. She had a few instances where she was barely able to get other children out of the way of a violent child. Way too much stress, way too little pay, and no administrative support, she eventually resigned.
