It's a 5 year old. Surely the school has protocols in place to deal with poor student behaviour that disallow this teacher's reckless behaviour.

Lousy parenting can be a factor because young kids emulate their parents quite a bit. I'll give some my own anecdote, I had a cousin with a kid who was a total hellraiser and was so bad that the school said they needed to do counseling with the kid. They all thought he had ADD/ADHD or some other problem, but it turns out that the parents were setting bad examples and there were no boundaries or structures or healthy activities. They did a total 180 and now their child is doing much better. I think everyone is so quick to put labels on everyone to use as a crutch for personal responsibilites, and it also takes away from the people that legitimately have problems.
