BigV - it is ridiculous, but - BUT - we don't know anything other than what we see on this video. who don't know how this student behaves normally, we don't know of previous problems, we don't know about previous interaction with the parents, etc. i'm not saying that the school was right or wrong - i am saying we don't know all the facts.

i know one thing for sure - i will watch a 5 year old be handcuffed before i allow myself to run the risk of being dragged to court by some parent who doesn't like the fact that i held their kid in a way that they don't appreciate. teachers aren't there to teach discipline and good behaviour. the parents are responsible for teaching the child it is inappropriate to throw over the top temper tanturms. the teacher is supposed to teach reading, writing, mathmatics, and revisionist history.
