Video: Why Was This Teacher Charged With Assault?

Sandra Rose February 16, 2009

A Durham, NC gym teacher had to put a young thug in check on a school bus recently.

Can you believe the gym teacher was arrested and is under investigation for doing what that boy’s daddy should have done and put a foot on him?

The parents of this kid should be arrested, not the gym teacher.

According to a report out of Chicago last week, literally hundreds of Chicago school children were whipped, choked, punched and thrown down steps — by their teachers!! [LINK]

Obviously the problem is not the teachers, the problem is the parents and their bad azz kids! 95% of these children are from broken homes where the baby mamas are more concerned with getting and keeping a man than they are about raising their kids to be respectful, productive citizens.

We have to do better!

I don’t know about this one Sandra. It looks like the boy was mouthing off big time. Even though you can’t hear it you can clearly SEE him mouthing off, but the bus driver is the one who got physical. In fact, I don’t see that the boy threw one punch. The fact that the bus driver sat on him for an extended period of time was also disturbing. That’s one of those cases where you desperately want to knock fire from a child and they damn sure deserve it, but it is not your job to do it. The bus driver was wrong in my opinion.

This is why I do not have any desire to work with kids. My kids principal just got fired for hitting a kid last week.

I agree I thought the student/child hit the teacher FIRST in that case all bets are off. I didnt see the kid throw any punches or licks so gym teacher was wrong.

you are dead on sandra this time. i just had to spoke at my daughter’s PTA meeting last thursday regarding how disrespectful kids are in school. the teachers are spending more and more time out of their day trying to discipline students. they are rude, loud, most of them talk back. it’s really sad. when i visit my daughter’s school the kids are off the chain! …and we are not in the inner city. what’s happening now is that even if you are raising your child correctly when they step foot in the school they become a product of the environment. very sad.

which is exactly why i dont have the patience to be a teacher! they dont get paid enough for that abuse. these kids need they azzez WHOOOOPED!!

I work with teens and I know how off the chain they can be and all of that. I would never hit any of the teens I work with unless I was hit FIRST. What are yall doing to help all these bad a@@ kids? Saying they are bad is not gonna help fix the problem as im sure yall know already.

In this case the gym teacher appears to be wrong becaue he HIT the student FIRST thats a NO NO

SHOUTOUT TO ALL THE TEACHERS Bless yall hearts!!!

I went to CPS all 12 years and elementary school is where most of the kids are hit. I went to school in the 80’s and we actually had names for the things we would get whipped with (the greenie, the bad pad, the sting stick etc.).

Kids got in trouble for things like talking loud when the teacher stepped out the room, the sub teacher wrote your name on the board for being bad, an argument happened and no one would tell who was arguing, a fight jumped off and we wouldn’t say who started it. In my Chicago school years there was a FEW teachers who were known to hit students so it’s not a surprise to me.

The kids have changed since I came up in grammer school but I still wouldn’t risk my job trying to chastise someone elses kid. In the clip above, the boy looked like he had mouth but that man look like hit actually hit the kid and the kid didn’t hit him.

This is why I could never work with bad a$$ kids!!!! I have a cousin who has a bad a$$ son, she is always wanting someone to watch his bad butt, but when it comes to discipling him, you better not so much as say sit down/time out without her having a fit. Thank GOD for the people who are able to work with kids!!!

THAT “BAD AZZ KIDS” IS ONE OF THE REASON THEY ARE WHAT THEY ARE. CALLING THEM THAT ONLY REINFORCES THAT BEHAVIOR. I HAVE WORKED WITH CHILDREN AND I AM ALSO A PARENT OF YOUNG TEENAGERS. THAT BROKEN HOME PART WELL I CAN’T SPEAK ON IT, AS A SINGLE PARENT I HAVE YET TO MEET A MAN MORE IMPORTANT THAN MY CHILDREN, TO ME HE DOENS’T EXIST.

MY GOD MOTHER IS AN JUNIOR HIGH ENGLISH TEACHER. SHE TOLD ME A STORY ABOUT HOW SHE HAD A PARENT WHO DIDN’T COME TO THE SCHOOL FOR PARENT CONFERENCES NOR TO PICK UP THEIR CHILD’S REPORT CARD. SAID CHILD BOUGHT AN IPOD TO SCHOOL AND IT WAS STOLEN, THE MOTHER SHOWED UP TO THE SCHOOL TO RAISE HELL ABOUT IT. NOW WHAT IS WRONG WITH THIS PICTURE?

I think the teacher was in the wrong. He could’ve done a bunch of other things before putting his hand on that kid. Let me put it like this, if in Basic Training the Drills can’t touch your ass for mouthing off, then a teacher can’t either.

As for the “bad ass kids” statement, I’ve been doing some research and some of these kids are not “bad” at all. They may have autism or ADHD, or other diseases that mimic those diseases. They may have untreated eye problems or asthma problems that make it hard to concentrate. It’s amazing how interesting the research is. Also, if you have a boy, there’s been a movement in recent years that’s more restrictive to boys that almost sets them up for failure. Whyboysfail(dot)com is a good site.

Let me get on my soapbox!!!!!Parents are to busy trying to be friends to those bad ass kids. Parents are too busy trying to get on the teacher instead of their child. I am a teacher and have had to put parents in check. For some reason, they think that they can say anything, just because I am a teacher and that when I got a teaching certificate they took away my act a fool skills. I had to tell a parent once that I have a mom and instead of trying to raise a 30 year old she should raise her child. Guess what? She went to the principal saying she was gonna sue the school. All that and her child was recently released from juvie after acting an azz with her and her teachers in high school. People have no idea what we deal with.

However, should a child hit me……my alter ego Ingrid will whip some AZZ!!!!!!! Most children know that at my school so they don’t mess with me!

i dont know he grip the boy and threw him down then sat on him. that the problem if the boy had threw a punch or something then i would say he was defending him self, but he didnt, the teacher was in the wrong.

==================

I’m RIGHT there with you!!! Bryn Mawr (hell hole), where a teacher stuck a STRAIGHT PIN in my neck when I was in third grade because I was too scared to answer a question that she was yelling in my face…I will not BEGIN to tell you what my Mama did (its against the law)

C.V.S. (hell hole pt. II)…and I’m not talking about the students…I’m talking about the crazy, sexual predatory pervs that would teach in the class!!!

That being said…what I witnessed in that video was a grown man…assaulting a child…A CHILD (not a big old overgrown teenager)…and sitting on his cheast, which could have caused his lungs to collapse and immenient death…

These are CHILDREN…and I overstand how a lot of them are off the chain…HOWEVER…if you are an adult and you can not CONTROL your anger impulse around children and the only way you can control them is to handle them as if they are a 25 year old gangbanger on the corner selling crack to your Mama…

Then, you should not work with children EVER…

And this man probably never will…

OMG this is such a touchy subject first of all it is wrong to assume that this “bad azz kids” are being raised by BONQUISHA…i live in what is considered a very decent neighborhood two parent households higher median incomes and what have you but the same type of problems occur here the fact of the matter is in todays society you have to make sacrifices…. Maybe these parents are working two jobs to ensure their kids have heat food and shelter this too can cause children to run amuck…not because they dont know better but because they think they wont get caught as far as the teachers go you have them also attempting to play the friend roll and that line is too gray for children (i have had to tell teacher to stop playing with my kids and teach)…teachers also dont reach out to parents…i’ve had situation where my son was acting a fool and the only reason I found out was I popped up on the right day…at that point i was told it had been going on for a whole month but not once did anyone pick up the phone to let me know…best believe it was nipped then and there and I now make a WEEKLY call top all the teachers to see what going on…

As far as labeling the kids it not fair to them…espeicially the ones that are being raised poorly…they are a product of their environment and nothing more if they had a responsible adult keeping them on the straight and narrow maybe they would behave differently

We see on here a snapshot of a one day situation. We don’t know how often this goes on and what this kid has done already. These kids taunt folks, thinking that they are untouchable and they can do whatever they want with no consequences. Friday at my job a child ran after a teacher because he was assigned in school suspension for telling her to shut up and tearing up a detention form and throwing it in her face. He broke away from a police officer, principal, and his grandfather. School is the only place these kids can get away with this BS. The real world eats these people up and spits them out. And this is after he has been in trouble several times and several teachers (myself included) and principals have been working with him and talking to him about choices and behaviors.

@sexy mama 078
I agree with you. I make sure I talk to my kids teachers regularly and let them know they can call me for anything. My kids go to a catholic school but the kids in there can act a fool too. My kids know you only act crazy when you run around in the backyard not in public and definetly not in school but that does not mean they may not slip at times and when they do I quickly get them in check. Not all single parents are running after a relationship. It is called a balance. My kids come before any man and I let my boyfriend know that up front. There are some real people out there that understand that.

Wow, this subject is one of my sore spots. All three of my daughters go to public school (7th grade, 5th grade, 3rd grade) and everyday, I hear at least one story of some kid acting like he or she has lost their mind in the classroom.

When I pick my daughters up from school, everyday I see some kid that I want to snatch. As I walk through I have to tell them to sit down or stop throwing that. When I am driving home, the walkers are walking in the street, laying their bookbags down in the street, walking in people’s yards and having random wrestling matches in the street and the yards. I have complained to the school and they have sent notes home with the walkers but the behavior continues. Now, when I come down the street, I beep my horn and roll up on them. They have learned to get out of the way when the silver Durango is coming down the street.

I thank God every day that I was raised by parents who stressed the importance of school and acting properly and my husband and I have stressed this to our daughters. Every blue moon one of the girls will see a classmate do something and will come home and attempt to try it but that ish gets nipped in the bud real quick. And I make sure that I say “I don’t know who you got that from at school but you better take it back”. I think when kids are small and they do something like talk back or curse, the parents think it is cute. And that’s where the cycle starts.

I stress to my daughters that there is only one mom in the house and the day that they think they can talk back or get up in my face will not only be the day that they catch the beatdown of the century but it will also be their last day in this house. Period, point black. It’s OK to let your kid know that you are their friend, but you are their parent first and parenting trumps friendship.

@ Bird, the bus driver is the female. The man is the gym teacher, who I’m sure was asked to ride on the bus to help control the disorderly kids. We need to stop making excuses for these kids.

@ Bonnie:
you sound like a great mom!
