The teachers' association is defending Woodward, saying that she "lost her cool" that day and hasn't had a chance to tell her side of the story.

What's to tell? It's all on tape........

Public schools are very very girl friendly. Normal boy behavior is seen as disruptive.

They teach girls to be boys and boys to be emotional.

Why oh why cannot our country admit public schools are a failure.

I heard the tape this morning, and there is NO "her side of the story." Even if the five-year old child was a problem in the class room, he did not deserve the belittling that this "teacher" gave him REPEATEDLY in front of his classmates.

Fire the hussy and make sure she never works as a teacher again!

Suspended, hell. She needs a life sentence in prison.

She has violated one of the most sacred trusts we have in our society - the nurturing and education of our most innocent citizens. There IS no punishment too great for what she has done.

In some ways this is WORSE than a police officer abusing his power.

God only knows how many other schildren she has attacked in her 13 year career.

I have friends who are teachers. They never said anything like this, but I have heard stories.

The generally all same something to the effect that if the kid is a jerk, the father is probably a jerk too.

The apple does not from the tree far falleth.

I feel bad for the teacher. I bet the kid really doesn’t have any friends - kind of like Al Gore.

Five year olds are self absorbed. That's normal.
Five year olds are ignorant. That surprises her?

I posted a story yesterday about a kid in Florida getting voted out of his kindergarten class and I thought this was a followup to it. This is here in Indiana, this woman needs to be humiliated just like she did that little boy. What the hell is going on in our schools lately?????

The father might be a jerk. But this boy is five years old. The teacher really had to torment him like that? That is just cruel. She has no business teaching.

I think 4 hours of losing your cool to a child is way out of line. This woman has a big problem and it’s certainly not the child.

Carol Mooney, a spokeswoman with the Indiana State Teachers Association, told the New Albany News and Tribune newspaper that Woodward is well liked by co-workers, parents and students and that she had trouble with Gabriel all year. "What do you say to a kid who's rolling around, punching, biting, kicking? What can a teacher do?" Mooney said to the newspaper.

Oh yeah, blame the kid for his teacher behaving like a crazy witch.

I think I would have just taken him to the principal’s office every time and said you pay me to teach. Send him back when he’s ready to learn.

5 year olds are not pathetic. Many public school teachers are though.
