[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I don't know. As an elementary teacher, I can tell you that all kinds of things are said. We had a student claim a teacher choked him this year. The teacher did nothing of the sort and luckily there were 2 other teachers in the room at the time, but the teacher still had to go through the disciplinary process and was on leave for a week during the investigation. The teacher was humiliated, and the case was found to be completely unfounded- just a student trying to be "funny."

We have had other situations as well where there is an investigation, but it turns out that it was just a misunderstanding or miscommunication.

I am not doubting the 8-year-old, but as a teacher and a parent, I know how often things are misunderstood or something goes home and is blown WAY out of proportion. Again, this is not to say this is what happened here, but I have been around long enough to know that you need to wait for the investigation.

If this did happen, I hope appropriate education will happen.

I was constantly in my kids es and ms as I was often requested by the teachers to be a room mom/whatever. I saw teachers bully children who were doing nothing. In 1st grade one teacher would blame one kid whose family was from Mexico for everything that went on in the room. She would grill the immigrant kids about "where they were really from". She was a mediocre teacher who couldn't manage her class. I talked to the principal after the umpteenth time of seeing her blame the one kid and it did nothing. If you're a teacher, you are not being honest if you say that you don't see teachers targeting certain kids. They do and often there is no obvious reason for it. [/quote]
