Teacher resigns after (ordering) girl tossed out window

"She was probably dressed like a slut, smelled like she just got out from a pig sty and spouted a mouth full of vile profanities."

lol.....So why did the teacher want a picture of her? I could say that the teacher was probably a dirty old man and a pedophile who enjoys verbally abusing his students, but then I would sound as stupid as you, so I won't.

Here's my take...I haven't read the whole thread, so please forgive me if this has already been suggested.

I'm guessing that the teacher jokingly told the kids to throw the girl out the window (I've joked around with my own kids like that many times) and the students, being smart alecs, did it and then claimed "innocently" to the principal that they didn't want to get in trouble for disobeying.

Does anyone else think that it could have happened this way?

OK, I'll give it a try.

Luigi's pal just couldn't tolerate
A Finnish guy who seemed effeminate.
He'd frown and he'd say
"Dat Finn, he'sa gay!"
And Luigi said "no way, defenestrate!"

The two boys later told principal Kenneth Daniels that they threw the girl out the window because they did not want to be written up for disobeying a teacher.

File that one under "Teaching Zero Tolerance Mindset to Kids"

And what's wrong with questioning a teacher for taking your picture ?

[BSunday]

She was probably dressed like a slut, smelled like she just got out from a pig sty and spouted a mouth full of vile profanities.

Hmm. For some reason, I just wasn't able to glean that from the article.

[RUCKUS INC.]

I always was told that if you defenstrate you'll go blind.

[BSunday]

I think I'll call BS on that one.

Maybe they agreed with the teacher's idea?

[henbane]

The teacher, a 63-year-old Conyers resident, was not immediately arrested after the Monday incident, which took place at Sharp Learning Center.

Sharp students are expected to be prepared for every possible classroom situation.

"Maybe they agreed with the teacher's idea?"

Could be, but in that case it's more likely they are just thugs that enjoy hurting people. The school's not known for it's great thinkers and achievers. Then they weaseled out of it by claiming the teacher made them do it.

Regardless they failed to recognize the girl was within her rights and acted to injure her.

"The student, whose name was not released, was taken to Newton General Hospital on Tuesday night for neck pains and cuts to her body

Future Ds in any case.

That's your right to do so.
It's also your right to be a fool.

I report, you decide.

The fact is, I watched all this in the 'World Geography' class during my sophomore year in high school.
I really don't care what you supposedly think.

[BSunday]

I really don't care what you supposedly think.

I don't "supposedly" think it. I do think it. And if you don't care, why did you even bother to reply ?

No one has a right to take your picture without your permission, except in very limited circumstances.

Actually as long as you are in a public place, anyone may freely take your picture. What they do with that picture is limited.

Commercial sale/publication of that photo could possibly require a release from persons in that photo but it is not absolutely necessary if the person was photographed from public ground.

Are you THE weegee?

No but I did travel to New York just to see that exhibit. They screened his short films (a lot of everything else you can get out of a book but not film).

[Tolerance Sucks Rocks]

Roberts said he has been told that the school board will leave it up to the girl's parents to pursue criminal charges against the teacher.

Oh, MAN, I hope they do it. And there are people out there worrying that home schooling will allow parents to abuse their children. Is this the alternative???

The school's not known for it's great thinkers and achievers.
