This sounds like something that was fine when I was growing up, too.
What marks were on the kid?
yeah, sounds like some of the old battleaxe teachers i had as a tyke ...
Did the headline writer think we’d assume it was a male kindergarten teacher without including that critical distinction?
I grew up not far from there. A teacher in our school would hit you on the head with a yardstick from behind if you were doodling or zoned out. You didn’t see it coming... startling as hell.
But that was better that the Principal’s office. You had to pick the paddle, the big one with holes, or the smaller one. Lot’s of debates about the relative merits of each.
And if you got a detention, you could stay after school, or go in at lunch and get three swats to burn one off.
‘The student has recovered and is free from injury,’ WISD spokesperson Jill Anderson told the outlet.”
Poor little tyke. Little prick...
“Mitchell was booked into the McLennan County Jail on Friday and charged with injury to a child, a third-degree felony that carries up to 10 years behind bars. She is being held on a $3,000 bond.”
Put me on the jury.
Its them again boo boo
It is rather amazing the number of people who think they can man-handle children.
Would she have lunged at a 5 yr old black boy like that, with an equal amount of fury? I tend to doubt it.
She’s still trying to become a certified instructor, and flipped her lid over what looks like an ongoing power struggle tween her and that stubborn little boy.
I bet it wasn’t little Johnny’s first rodeo. I bet he was black also. Where a 5 year old black boy gets the idea he can take on a black grandma, I have no idea.
He better wake up or I won’t give him odds of making it past age 6, or.... the next family reunion.
No parents were interested in complaining about it.
I wonder at what grade these union thug “teachers” start dropping “F” bombs on their students.
Oh yeah! We got our hair pulled, our ears twisted, grabbed by the shoulders and shook, and paddled.
I grew up in Texas. Ummmm our teachers and principals would whip our asses. Oh and if our parents found out we had to be disciplined at school it was way worse at home. I remember kids screaming “Don’t call mom!”
I grew up with teachers where they would hit you with a yard stick, if you fell asleep would slam books down on the desk, the principals were always very generous with the paddle, and one use to throw chalk erasers at student who got answers wrong and call you names.
I hated school. It was a prison. Where else are you forced to go, with people you don’t like, and obey guard or face corporal punishment?
This ping list is for the other articles of interest to homeschoolers about education and public school. This can occasionally be a fairly high volume list. Articles pinged to the Another Reason to Homeschool List will be given the keyword of ARTH. (If I remember. If I forget, please feel free to add it yourself)
The main Homeschool Ping List handles the homeschool-specific articles. I hold both the Homeschool Ping List and the Another Reason to Homeschool Ping list. Please freepmail me to let me know if you would like to be added to or removed from either list, or both.
Nuns were just as bad - I had my hand smacked with a pointer for “wasting paper” because when practicing our writing, we wrote prayers and I didn’t squeeze the word “Mary” at the end of a line, but wrote it on the next line - and we only used half the sheet in the first place...
When I was in grade school teachers did stuff like this. They would even slap your hand if they did not want you touching stuff.
Would that I had had such "nice" teachers as you when I attended elementary school (in the 1960s).
Unfortunately, I was taught by old Catholic nuns - many of them from Ireland.
Regards,
the nuns could show her a thing or two.
One good thing about black women is they won’t hesitate to slap some religion into little @$$holes when they act out.
