Teachers, of which I have been one, are the hope of our future and supposed to be the source of knowledge. This situation is apalling:

Everytime I look at the news it's another bad situation in Texas, this is no different. The point of charter schools was to offer students an alternative to the public schools where many of them cannot or will not learn. I doubt this qualifies as a teachable moment.

With the advent of cell phones that have cameras we get to see what these students face in school. This time the bully is a teacher and she was caught in the act.

I don't agree when the school administration says they handled the situation appropriately. Firing the teacher is a given, why wasn't she arrested for assault? And as if suggested other teachers watched then they deserve a flogging and dismissal as well.

The lawsuit will not do much to refocus this child on his education, but maybe the monies which will finally be awarded will allow his mother to put him in a proper school. Of course that decision might be difficult.

Imagine this, I sure can't:

What have we become?????
