WARREN, Ohio, Two middle-school teachers in Ohio have been suspended for barking at a student who allegedly barked at another teacher.
Meghan Montgomery told WFMJ-TV in Youngstown she disciplined her daughter after school officials in Warren told her her daughter had misbehaved in a music class. But she said two teachers who were not involved in the initial incident didn't let the matter drop.
"The teachers had the whole classroom barking at her and calling her a dog and taunting her and just being mean to her," Montgomery said.
Annette Constantino, who has been teaching in Warren for 11 years, was given a two-day suspension and Judith Brown, a 16-year veteran, got five days. Montgomery called the penalties "a slap on the wrist."
"The two teachers called me and tried to justify themselves," Montgomery said. "Ms. Constantino said that she was trying to let Marissa know how it felt."
The suspensions begin Monday.
"The school has adopted a zero tolerance against bullying but it seems like that only applies to the students," Thomas Eldridge, Marissa's grandfather, told the TV station.
She has the eyes of a little girl who knows she is loved. Just looking at her picture, I noticed that I was smiling.
Put the teachers and the girl on leashes for a week.
That will teach everyone a lesson.
Aw, come on, Sweetheart! LOL!
I’ll bark for you, darling ;-)
Now I’m blind, again.
Are you woofing me?
I would bet this isn't the first incident with this student. I would bet there are a group of teachers sick of her crap.
I wonder if she barked like this guy does in this video?

So you support the barking teachers? Did you read the article?
Is this a hit piece against the teachers or the child?
Nothing is said of the misconduct of the girl.
Finger nail on the underside of the ear lobe. Leaves no visible marks.
WOOF...!!!
So much for the rest of my oatmeal...Thanks ;)
The “misconduct” of the girl was taken care of home.
What, you think torture and humiliation of a child that has already suffered a parental punishment is ok?
Are you sadistic? Or do you think the children’s discipline should ONLY come at the hands of the state government?
Student barked. Teachers barked back.
Student gets coddled. Teachers get suspended.
We are becoming Great Britain.
I DON’T CARE IF THEY ARE ‘SICK OF HER CRAP!’
Bark at my kid after I’ve punished her at home and I will make your life hell.
You should care if they are sick of her crap. It shows your failure as a parent.
Like I said. Bring back the good old days and lay a board across her butt.
I had a math teacher who would gut you with a Bowie knife, then yank your head back by the hair, slice your neck open, and hungrily drink of the gushing fountain of blood.
LOL!
BUMP
So, now we see the rest of the story. This girl learned the barking behavior at school. From her teachers. Her mistake was barking at her betters, who then summoned the pack.
It all makes sense now, in a warped sort of way. Good thing those teachers don’t have Tazers.
