Can we stop firing teachers because some kid acted up like a coont and needed to be dealt with?

Beat the damn monsters.

ThatGuyGreg: "Dragged" can mean many different things. Some would be ok, some would not.

Goddamn you, you motherfarking useless piece of shiat "journalists"... don't let silly things like missing facts keep you form submitting on time.

Done in 1.

This is why these dumba$$ kids these days end up on jersey shore when they grow up, no parenting, no rules, run wild.

We called ours the "cafetorinasium".

Teacher should be given a medal.

Approves.

Florida tag on late summer vacay?

Is it fear of lawsuits that cause schools to do dumb shiat like this? To force a friend of mine to apologize to students who were fighting because she poured a glass of water on them (she quit instead)? To listen to the word of a student with a criminal record over the word of their teacher? To forbid kids to bring cupcakes for their birthdays? To forbid kids from taking giving one tylenol to another kid with a headache?

Something doesn't add up. There is more to this story than is reported here.

Fixed that for you.

If you're gonna get fired for something like that, at least make it worth it.

It doesn't surprise me at all. I was talking to a co-worker the other day who has kids in elementary. Like most days he asks them what they learned that day. One day their response was, "if you or mommy ever put your hands on us we're suppose to dial 911."
/i'm so glad i don't have kids

Do you think so?

Bane Omen: Teacher should be given a medal.

Due to the article being extraordinarily short on facts, we don't know what precipitated these events. It is entirely possible that the teacher is a farking coont and that the child had done little or nothing. This might be why the school's administration is firing her.

The one salient point is this:
"Deputies and child protective services also investigated and their report verified findings of child abuse."

And there's no mention in the article of this being pushed by the kids parents, but rather appears to be the administration and law enforcement.

We've had a couple of training sessions which involved family services. They were (for the most part) well meaning indviduals who cared greatly for those they "protect" - however, and this was explicitly stated, for the most part they would rather drag your kids from your house and put them in foster care for a month, take you and your spouse to court and drag your lives through the gutter on the mere suggestion of child abuse rather than risk "missing one" and having a child suffer for it.

In other words their default position is that you ARE guilty until you can prove otherwise in their world.

Having said that there are some mean old biatches who should not be near children, let alone teachers. Its entirely possible she completely lost her cool and dragged the kid through the room by the collar of his shirt, heels dragging all the way in which case she should lose her job, I dont care what the kid did.

Seems a working sarcasm meter is not required to be "Burster of bubbles".

The only thing I can see that would make me question the teachers behavior is that the student was a 1st grader. That being said, I've dragged 4 year olds out of a restaurant by their arms - so thanks for the great article. It really told a story.

Maybe subby would like me to "drag" him. When you are done crying like a first grader you can tell me how it feels. You don't "man-handle" women or children. Didn't your mother teach you any manners coward?

bamnuke I fail to see how educators must concern themselves with these type of problems.

Lawsuits.

We called it the Vomitorium.

Nah, just laid it on too thick.

bamnuke: I fail to see how educators must concern themselves with these type of problems.

If a teacher so much as exists in the vicinity of a student in a manner which the precious snowflake's helicopter parents disapprove, the parents can sue the teacher, the school and the school district (and the city and/or county if it's a public school) and win millions or tens of millions of dollars if they don't take the hundreds-of-thousands-of-dollars settlement.

Keep in mind that the jury in such a case would be composed entirely of people too dumb to get out of jury duty, and chances are high that a few of them would be soccer moms who would be asked by the plaintiffs' attorney(ies) how THEY would feel if it was THEIR precious snowflake who got his or her feelings hurt.

I have a son with ADHD. Oh you damn right some kids need to be dragged out of rooms in some situations.

I could easily "drag" subby into a coma. Since I am "dragging" him it wouldn't be assault, right? You're a dumbass.

You don't "drag" a kid by their arm. That just leads to dislocated shoulders and broken arms. You throw them over your shoulder and fireman carry them to a place where you can deal with them properly.

Most cops think it's ok to rough folks up a bit when it gets the job done. They're not going to bust someone for child abuse unless the evidence really points to all out abuse. Simply walking a kid out by the arm is not going to generate that kind of evidence. The teacher must have really caused some damage.

I work in a daycare. The kid probably ran home crying to mommy that the mean teacher hurt him.If they misbehave in the hallway, I hold their hands. "No, teacher! You're HURTING me. Don't GRAB my hand. Don't PULL me." They know all the right words to scream to make it sound like you are killing them.

First graders in drag? Man, kids are more advanced these days.

My office is next to the designated child-beating room at a Korean high school. This "arm-grabbing" stuff seems so quaint to me now.

My mom only had to dragged me once.
We were at a start park and she told me to do something and I said no. It was kind of like shooting a gun, once the word was out there, there was no no way to take it back. It felt like a mile from where were to the car and she drug me the way to the car. Thing didn't get much better for me there either.

I say the kid probably deserved it. Maybe the teacher can get a job at a nice Catholic School.

I hate parents. If they spent half of the time they spend being a helicopter and hovering over their spoiled crotch fruit and used it to actually discipline... there wouldn't be a problem.

Sin_City_Superhero: timujin: If done in an overly aggressive manner it is quite painful and leaves bruises.

I fail to see the problem. A few bruises, a paddled backside, or a busted lip...these are what my dad called "character builders". Kids need dicipline, or they'll run roughshod all over you. Spare the rod, spoil the snowflake. Like my dad used to say:
"Beat your kids once a day. If you don't know why, they do."

Just because your dad was an a22hole doesn't mean you have to be one, too. We're still talking about 1st graders, right? You would punch a 6 year old hard enough to bust their lip?

That's why you should always grab them by the neck. ;)

Klom Dark: That's why you should always grab them by the neck. ;)

that is why you let them turn 18 then beat the living tar out of them and don't let them see you.
Hit them hard and dont let them see who did it. Don't do it near a camera. Just let them know they aren't so farking tough anymore.
If they still act cocky, wait unitil they are 21 and let someone else do it for you. Pay them well to do it and shut up about it.
Sometimes, as you hear parents say, you have to pick your battles.
With these prescious little snowflakes, you have to do just that.
Given enought time, you can get a good battle at a bargain, and buy an alibi, too boot.

/yeah, I have a newsletter.

What dragged kid may look like

Sin_City_Superhero: That's why I just shoot any kids that misbehave near me. Dead kids tell no tales.

LOL!

My wife worked with mentally retarded adults*. There are suprising restrictions on what you can and can't do. You can't grab someones arm, hold them back or force them in a direction. It seemed odd when my frame of reference was old psyc and action movies. Now it makes sense and actually seems odd that non-retarded* people don't have the same respect by teachers or police.

/Yes Retarded is now called Developmentally Disabled (which in turn was another group lumped in with retards)
