When is it going too far to protect students from maltreatment?

In Houston, Texas a teacher is put on administrative leave afer being caught on tape beating a thirteen year old student. The student supposed was making fun of a child with special needs that was dancing. I do feel that the teacher went extremely overboard with punishing the student. The punishment did not fit the crime whatsoever. I do think it is good that she did address the issue but she went about it in poor fashion.

This happened at a charter school in Houston, Texas. I would be extremely upset if I were the parent of this student.

ASTOUNDING VIDEO!!! Worth watching

  1. I agree with you, Stacy. That teacher definitely went too far. It is great that she was looking out for the child with special needs, but she should have went about handling this situation in a totally different way. I cannot believe the students were standing around watching her do this and filming it, I would have been out the door getting another teacher. I am in total shock!
