I have 1 ear longer than the other. Dang, where is my 1st grade teacher.
Oh my god in Taxachusettstan that poor bastard is going to JAIL for trying to discipline a kid in the LIBERALS’ public schools system.
WHAT ABSOLUTE CRAP!
This guy grabbed a child who ran out of the classroom and marched him back to class.... he didn’t “DRAG” this kid. This guys getting railroaded.
They better remove some students then.
We had the BEST principle in grade school. One day she had to take care of a boy that was causing problems. She came into the class grabbed him by the shirt drug him down the hall banging him aganist the wall all the way to his office. The guy was kicked out of school forever. He ended up being a murderer years later. Of coarse this was back in the 1970’s when if a child got a spanking at school they got one at home.
Need any more explanation than that?????? I know I don't.

Poor little bastard’s mom was absolutely devestated by the incident...at least that’s the impression I got from her translator
Good grief what happened. 3 postings. Sorry.
The link had the video. After review, the video will help the teacher in court .
Is it possible those wounds came from something else?
I'm willing to bet that the kids in the class were throwing books at each other mostly because they had never been discipline for it in the past. And look what happens when the discipline begins -- the teacher gets fired.

I smell a lawsuit. Too bad the money will be spent by the time the kid drops out of school.
The teacher is a substitue, he is also a lawyer. I think he will do fine in court.
Exactly or worse--read the two stories below your post. They are almost unbelievable. The kids run the show and if you bat an eyelash, the parent is there to collect their lottery winnings.
