Anniston School Superintendent Sammy Felton had no comment, but said the matter will be dealt with in accordance with school policy.

baloney ... 'school policy' is what led to this. This teacher should file felony assault charges, and a civil claim against this child and his parents. take it to the hilt since the schools don't do anything anymore to protect teachers, teachers need to take it to court themselves.

[NRA1995]

If that were my child, he'd spend the next month wishing he could sit down without it hurting.

[nmh]

Na, can't be!

Besides what about his self esteem? Facing charges will spoil all the work of building up his self esteem.

LOL!

Wonder what his parents are like.

The apples typically doesn't fall far from the tree.

...the matter will be dealt with in accordance with school policy.

Translation: The teacher will be fired for attempted theft of a headband. The child was merely defending himself and his property.

[Leatherneck_MT]

The little punk should be taken into public and thrashed soundly with a cane.

Would love to see this happen to all juvenile offenders. I think you would see a real change of attitude in the schools.

Not going to happen tho.. we don't want to bruise their fragile self esteem *pukes*

[AbeKrieger]

I can't wait for the demographics on this one, and when the single mother rises up in sheer disbelief that her little thug was accused of this.

I second the motion... sue the family.

[Texas_Jarhead]

Forget wasting time and money with stupid felony assault charges. Just give him some pops and expulsion.

[Mr Ramsbotham]

He should have said he got the headband from his Mom who is serving in Iraq.

[brownsfan]

"Now police are getting involved and say the youngster could face felony assault charges. "

This is a loose application of the law of unintended consequences. The libs want to sit Johnny down, talk to him, reason with him, but respect his self esteem. *barf*

In my day, (good gosh am I really that old?), this kid would have been expelled. But it would probably have never gotten to this point. When he first mouthed off, (back in the day), he would have been hauled to the principal's office for a paddling. That would have straightened him out, and everyone could go on with their day.

Now little Johnny is going to go to court and it will be a big problem for all associated with this.

Collectively, we have lost our minds.

[MeneMeneTekelUpharsin]

Needs to be tried, and if found guilty, hung. Period.

In high school in 1970, I was having severe problems at home with my stepfather and I was walking around with a huge chip on my shoulder. My high school vice principle tried to remove that chip prematurely resulting in my fist embracing his nose and right foot massage to the groin.

It was the dumbest but yet the best mistake I ever made. I was punted from school and I had a choice to make, continue being an ass and go to Vietnam or seek out help for what ailed me and become a productive citizen. I chose the latter.

Unfortunately, a 10 year old who does this needs intervention as does his entire family. He learned that behavior somewhere and my guess is it starts right in his living room.

The schools pay big bucks for counselors and it appears to me this is an example of a counselor not doing their job. This kid had an attitude and was known to school officials long before he punched the teacher.

[caisson71]

Have we, as a society, spared the rod long enough?

[ambrose]

Some of these leftist NEA teachers need a good whoopin' every now and then.

[American Quilter]

If I had ever struck a teacher, there would have been no need for expulsion, suits, or any other action by anyone outside my family. I'd've been buried in the back yard.

She's lucky... When I was a senior in highschool, one of the teachers (a really nice, little guy. I had him for "social studies" my freshman year) got hit in the face with a brick!

Parents, school officials and police can either address this now...

or the police, the prisons and "the system" will fix it later. The longer the wait, the more victims. The longer the wait, the worse the damage. The longer the wait, the more costly the fix. The longer the wait, the less chance the fix will do any good.

As of two days ago, I have a 10 year old son. As a parent, I would do everything I could to get this fixed now.

My grade school Principal was also our 5th grade teacher.
We had a pretty good sized male teacher in 6th grade who was
also the 'go to' guy for all matters physical..

But our Principal rarely needed his help...heck I remember
poor ole Guy Karo getting dragged out of his desk by the ear
and yanked across the hall into the empty school nurses office
where our teacher gave him more than a few whacks with a heavy duty yardstick she kept for just such matters..

This was just for having a can of pretty old night crawlers
in his desk..

I believe the student got the message pretty loud and clear and did not seem too psychologically traumatized...

I heard he retired a few years back as a Sgt Major after 30 yrs. the US Army..
