My ex-wife is a teacher, when we were first married a 2nd grader tried to push her down the stairs, the police made the decision to handcuff the child to teach him a lesson. The local rag (and a school board member) ripped into my ex for the treatment the police gave the child. Turns out the one officer that took the child into custody was friends with the family and made the decision to try and scare the child straight and handcuffed him.
This case is far different then the one involving me ex. These “teachers” and the administration of the school need to learn how to handle kids before they’re allowed back in their school. This case disgusts me.
I saw plenty of tantrums in my day as a student long, long ago. The solution was simple and the problem solved in under 5 minutes. The kid got swatted, and shaped up. Then got swatted again by the parents at home. Today, the parents would sue, plain and simple. Who needs the aggravation?
