Teacher beats mother with chair in front of kids

[papasangel]

Ted I can relate to what you feel. There are some things you just don't do. Assaulting a parent and student is one of them. And the old me would be rooting for you to go out ant touch someone lol.

Other One You are partially right. There are two sides to every story but from what I got in the article this teacher was clearly in the wrong. For one thing she threw the child's bookbag in the garbage can, another she grabbed the child and actually hit the child and last but not least assaulted the child's mom with a chair. Yes there are obnoxious parents out there I will grant you but there are some teachers out there who give good teachers a bad name too. We had a case in NC at one of those schools of distinction where a teacher put a child with special needs in a garbage can. The school took the teachers side saying it was a clean can. Anyone does that to one of my children will lose their job.

Wow My Flesh is screaming, you do this to my wife and child you will BURN

Defending herself? With a chair shot to the back? Too much pro wrestling for this teacher?

In all honesty it is pretty bad when the kids arn't even safe from the teachers anymore.

God Bless,

Ted you put out exactly how I feel ! Trying to whoop my butt is one thing , but hitting my child ...grrrrrrrrrr. Seriously , this just goes to show you that your kids are safer with you than with a stranger . They are after all , a gift from God meant to be raised in the love and admonition of Christ . Not in a Godless society , where people find it to easy to bully others .

I wonder if the mom in this story will sue ? I hope she does !

Thank you all and have a wonderful blessed day , no matter whats going on in the world . After all God made we need to rejoyce and be glad in it ! Praise the lord for his goodness and grace .

Actually this could become a real mess for the school, as the parents of each of the kids in the classroom could actually have a real good case if they decided to Sue for emotional damages.

God Bless,

But then again there are teachers like me. My primary goal is to set an example. To be a strong and bold Christian educator. Make sure you don't group us all in the same category.

But this teacher was/is nuts!!!!!!!!!

When I first read this over the weekend I couldn't believe it. "Lawsuit" was the first word that came to mind. I'm actually a little dissapointed at the lack of details in the story. For example, we don't know if words were exchanged about the backpack. We don't know why the backpack was thrown away in the first place (Although, if one of my kids teachers threw her backpack away, I'd be want to exchange a few words of my own with the teacher). And we don't know who threw the first punch - or the first shove.

But I just put myself into that situation. First of all, if I had gone to my child's class and found out that the teacher had thrown away her backpack, I'd demand to know why, and on what authority the teacher had to do something like that. A decent backpack is around $15. For some people that $15 is a significant amount of money to shell out, along with the rest of the school supplies kids need. If my kids teacher arbitrarilly tossed her backpack away, I'd want my $15 back! And no teacher-----no teacher has any right to lay their hands on my kids, much less their belongings. Bad enough you should lay a hand on me, but let me hear about you laying a hand on my kids, and it's "go time."

Grrrrrr....

In defense of teachers ( am I really saying this after my own experiences with some of them?) there are a lot of really good teachers in schools. Unfortunatley we hear about the ones who do things that are not acceptable by any standards instead of ones who go the extra mile to help a child out. Chad no not all the teachers are created equal. There are some exceptional teachers out there like the special ed teacher my son had in first grade named Ms Fanney (pronounced fan-a -long a sound) If there were more of them I would not have had reason to pull out my children from public school. Today when i see stories like this it just reinforces my decision that no public school will have my child in it ever again.

First of all let me say that this is a really terrible incident. I have to say however that I am really amused that alot of folks are writing things like "grrrrr" in their posts. Kinda cracks me up.
