Students Abused
December 21st, 2008 Posted by: Tilly
I am afraid that I am upset. That is a mild way to describe how I feel.
A student was talking in class, so the teacher took off her high heel shoe and threw it at the student. The student ended up with a couple of teeth knocked loose, black eyes, split lip, and bruises. The parents saw the damage to their child and took her to the emergency room, the school did nothing. The oh so brave teacher ended up on paid administrative leave. A paid vacation for assault and battery of a minor child. How nice. That is sarcasm folks.
On a bus a student was throwing cookie crumbs. The bus driver stopped the bus demanded to know who was doing that, and when the other kids refused to rat out the mis-behaving student, the bus driver grabbed a girl from the front of the bus and threatened to cut off her hand if someone didn’t tell who threw the crumbs. The bus driver also ended up with paid administrative leave for terrorizing a child and threatening to cripple her. Another paid vacation for criminal behavior.
Tell me, what ever became of punishing the law breaker? These two school employees should be locked up in jail awaiting trial. If these were my kids, charges would be pressed and a law suit started against the school systems involved. This is so wrong. Hurting kids for TALKING, terrorizing and threatening permanent damage over COOKIE CRUMBS? Please tell me that you realize that this is messed up. :{
