"a severe lapse in judgment," similar to the decision to put her back in the classroom.

School officials say that was the strongest punishment allowed at the time.Allowed by whom? That's right, the teacher's union. Teacher's unions keep psychotic people like this woman in charge of your children.

That this teacher still has a job is what's sick.

What's wrong with this girl's parents too? I would have pulled that child out of that school the day this happened.

If this nonsense keeps up, "going daycare" will mean the same in slang as "going postal"

DCS also investigated and found no evidence of abuse.Being forced to pee in front of your peers sounds a little abusive to me.
To: SmithL
Hmmm...I'd love to know more about this story. Makes me wonder if they have class in a trailer, the bathroom was occupied and this little girl was dancing around trying not to pee her pants.
Oh, don't get me wrong, there was a lapse in judgement here - but I'd like to know whether it's more or less sinister than has been presented.

Allright, this woman has been on the job for 20 years. If she has not had a severe lapse in judgement before, then perhaps this would be a clue to both her and the school system that she can no longer handle the stress of dealing with young children and needs to seek out early retirement. She definitely does not belong back in the e]classroom and should have been redirecting her own career when she knew she was having a hard time dealing with the children.

Amen to that.
When my dd was 4 and in a Quaker-run preschool, I forgot to put a fork and napkin in her lunchbag one day and her teacher forced her to either skip lunch or eat her spaghetti lunch with her fingers. My dd, being the perpetually-ravenous child that she still is, went ahead and ate her lunch with her fingers and was then denied a napkin or paper towel to wipe them off, so she, being the intrepid kid she still is, wiped them off onto her clothes.
After I finished jumping up and down and complaining to the headmistress, the teacher was reassigned to older kids and my dd didn't go back.
These kind of power-mad "teachers" are far more common than many of us think. After run-ins with 4 more of these types over a few more years, I gave up on all parochial, private and public schools (I'd tried them all).
It's much better to homeschool - then you get to be the dictator. Why leave the fun to others ? ;)

The kids at our preschool have the little potties located in the back of the room pretty much out in the open. No problems, no complaints. Our children do not appear too traumatized. I think this is totally overblown. Kids are a little more flexible than adults when it comes to humility.
To: SmithL
This is one case where the school and the teacher should be sued IF the press report is correct and complete.

To: SmithL
my three year old's classroom has a bathroom opening off the side and that door is never closed - to prevent abuse or allegations thereof. Standard procedure in other schools I have seen also.
To: SmithL
I really hope there is more to this story than offered in the article. If not, I'm sorry but I agree the teacher should not be teaching. Some little kids don't care, but some do, and we should be encouraging modesty.
What is this world coming to?
