Teacher instructs kids to hit 'bully' student

HollyHoly - I see you can now spell grammar. You're welcome. I can also now see that anything that needs to be hidden from you can be hidden inside books. You'll be running out of money soon (it's been 4 days since your bi-monthly welfare check). I hope your neighbors know where they can hide their cash from you.

isn't this teacher also a bully for having the students hit the kid?

You know this kid is a bully, but we'll never know now because he's never gonna bully anyone else again.

VeritasStorge - My children are well mannered Advanced Education students that maintain honor roll status. Since childhood they have been taught to respect and treat others the way they want to be treated. Never curse or degrade others in any way. This is why they feel awkward in front of BULLIES. I believe a bullies actions reflect on their home circumstances. Kids are raised this way due to their surroundings at home. So yeah a beating is not a good thing for a normal respectful 6yr old..But for a kid that doesn't listen maybe a spanking would help.. I'm not saying the beating was just.. I'm just saying it happened and I think it was well deserved and wish this was okay with the law. I bet he will never do it again...and still laughing.hahahahaha!

All I can say @1sword is that you are as psychotic as this pair of crazy teachers. It’s one thing to teach a child to stand up to a bully and fight back. It’s an entirely different thing to teach a class full of students to be a gang and assault another student who’s not done anything to you. The ONLY student who should strike the bully is the one they hit in the first place. For the teacher to force the entire class to become involved is heinous. I’m pretty much with @VeritasStorge. @LadyFingers, you or your nephew’s parents need to instruct him to knock the living daylights out of the child that bullies him. If he does it once, and immediately, the bully will learn not to mess with your nephew, and your nephew will learn to defend himself. @Garden Lobster, you bring a calm and rational perspective to the incident.

I believe where's there smoke, there's fire, if other kids fingered Neely's son as the bully, then he prolly has some behavioral issues. Neely needs to get off TV and nip it in the bud. Also, How the hell did this teacher think this was OK?!! I was bullied when I went to Tafolla and all the teachers there told me was "deal with it, it wouldn't last forever". No one adult stood up for me! So yeah, teacher shouldn't have resorted to Lord of the Flies style of punishment, this was her first teaching job and she was only 24, I think she can still/should be allowed to teach with some continued supervision. My 2 cents.

@Randy J, my grammar is not accountable to the WOAI web public. So pruufread this....up urs!

HollyHoly - Perhaps you should know how to spell "grammer" if you are going to call people out for using bad "grammer". I know WOAI has no spell check, but there is this thing called a dictionary and it ... never mind. Just keep "prufreeding" comments. You're doing an awesome job.

some of us are able to keep our hands to our selves at least by the age of six or first grade. i believe the activity this young teacher delt to the alledged bully, was altogether fitting and proper and the schools empty suits [he or she] should be included in the redress for not having guide lines for the teacher to adhere to or ignore . . .agreed ?

The AP had a more in-depth article on this event. Some of the children did not want to hit him, and felt intimidated by the teacher. The teacher egged them on, saying "Hit him harder!" This was a kindergarden class. The "bully" had no history of discipline problems according to his record, the school, or his parents. Parents were not notified there were any issues with his attitude or behavior. The parents were not notified of this incident until after the teacher who blew the whistle finally told administrators, 2 days later. This kid was so traumatized he didn't immediately tell his mom when he came home from school. There's schoolyard justice, and there's this. This has no excuse. If there was a problem, report it to the parents and write the kid up first. There was no documentation piling up with no one doing anything and the school just didn't act fast enough after the fact for my comfort level. That should have been a same-day thing - the teacher that saw it happen should have notified administrators immediately and parents should have been told that day when they picked their kids up what happened. Glad she got fired, but the other staff need more training. Hope the parents sue. This was traumatic for the kids who did the hitting as well as the victim. Using siblings to beat an unfavored child is a common technique used by child abusers to avoid getting caught.
