What should we do with a child that hit a teacher?

So here, in a land of farmers in the Balkan far far away, there was one incident. One highschool teacher hit his professor during a lesson. Today, the news reported that his parents signed him out of the school immediately, but just some tome later, he was signed into school in another place. The principal said he will give the boy a second chance.

Besides the unsung self proclaimed heroes singing how would they react of they were there, there were two main reactions among my fellow citizens. Some say that we are giving a chance to another criminal for letting him sign into another school, while some others think we should give him a chance to change rather than let him live on the streets.

What do you think? Should a teacher hitter be thrown out of school forever, or given another chance? If there are any teachers in the pond, I’d be glad to hear their opinion.
