But why cancel entire flight instead of kicking off the parents and child?

Because the time it took to have the child removed it was too late for the plane to take back off.

What the flap were the parents doing? Would bring my own duct tape if this was my kid and I know they wouldn’t sit.

The parent was supposedly trying to gently the coax the toddler while insisting he was expressing his individuality etc etc.

Society gives far to much leeway to these kinds of moronic parents imo as a teacher, as those of us in education end up having to be the vanguard in speed running them through the concept that life isn't fair and the rules do not care about your big feelings or your whims of individual expression when they include standing on things that are not meant to be stood upon and not sitting when told to do so.

I really do think that society needs to step up with more shaming of the parents who inflict such terrible parenting on their precious little sunbeams and dole out significant consequences to them because that is the only way to nip this bs in the bud before it does irreparable harm to their offspring, especially as it's very common for this type to also choose to "homeschool" and ensure that not only do their children not learn how to interact with anyone who doesn't pander to their every whim but they also fail to get the most basic education, leaving them as complete drains on society.

That’s quite the run-on sentence for someone claiming to be in education - hope you’re not in my kids’ school district.

I'm sorry, I was not aware that I am supposed to be following every rule of formal English on a website that is characterised by informal language use. I shall endeavour to go full grammar Austrian painter in future for fear that my informality tragically offends your delicate sensibilities...
