for that type

[GoodTaste]

Teacher A tells teacher B:

Don't be too hard on that boy. Just let him go. He's just a bit naughty and for that type this school has plenty.

=====================================

Is "for that type" natural in English? By "for that type", the teacher A meant "(this school has a lot of) this type of boys."

Teacher A tells teacher B:

Don't be too hard on that boy. Just let him go. He's just a bit naughty and and this school has plenty of boys like that.

I wouldn't use "for that type" there.
