The alleged incident happened just after TAKS testing two weeks ago. Isaiah Johnson said it all started as he and other classmates watched and laughed as a mentally challenged girl danced. That’s when he says the teacher attacked the 13-year-old. Isaiah said he was beaten by the teacher, with other teachers looking on, right there in the classroom.
“The teachers piled up and they were looking over each others shoulders just watching,” Isaiah said.
David Jones, the principal of the school, released a statement later in the day. “There is no excuse for a teacher to behave in this way with a child,” Jones said. “Although we had already removed the teacher from the classroom and put her on administrative duty, we now plan to terminate the teacher and make an apology to the student and his mother.”
Jones said the school will be investigating whether other teachers saw the incident and did not report it.
Wow, I haven’t seen anything like that since my Catholic School days. The other kids seemed to be having fun with it, however. The teacher will be looking for other employment, I might suggest the UFC.
Not having a clue what just happened before or after…
How do you know thats the teacher? Girls often outgrow the boys at younger ages, or could be the kids mother upset he stole her drug money.
Charter school!!!
I guess I really am old now. Teachers were never allowed to wear jeans, and students not allowed to wear shorts. Oh, and I guess some college educations are wasted.
They plan to terminate the teacher?
Criminal charges should be filed against the “teacher” and prosecuted as an assault. This is not equal force. What the child did makes no difference. The “educator” cannot hang the child either. Murder, assault, battery is not allowed by any adult on a minor. This “teacher” belongs behind bars.
“Charter school!!!”
Maybe if she was a unionized public school teacher she’d be sleeping with the student instead of hitting him. It seems that those union teachers just can’t keep their hands off their students.
How do you like dem apples?
What about the retarded girl…at least someone was sticking up for her for a change.
I bet little Isaiah Johnson already has a criminal arrest record.
“he and other classmates watched and laughed as a mentally challenged girl danced.” – no excuse of course for a teacher to go ballistic this way, but I can clearly envisage the situation and a 13 year old punk is a punk nevertheless. I can understand the reaction.
So the teacher gets fired and the punk and parents gets an excuse from the principal and everything is fine? The little punk Isaiah Johnson just learned how to play the system and get away with it big time. I bet this is not the last we’ll hear about him.
Sexy. She means bidness. Imagine how fun she is?
(Yeah, she should be fired … but hey … either you believe in zero tolerance in skool or you don’t.)
TThor. Exactly. There are a bunch of kids who are criminals in training, and this punk Isaiah is one of them.
He is going to end up in prison and we will have to pay. What a waste. The best thing that could happen to this punk is to get put on juvenile hall and put on a work detail.
Teachers the world over are poorly paid and under appreciated. They deserve respect and compassion. In the absence of either a Taser and a Glock 9mm.
There were other adults around. why are they just watching? XD
In the statement, the principal says he is going to terminate the teacher? Isn’t this a touch to far, she will be terminated and she won’t be back?
Oh please. This was a teacher, she’s already been fired and now faces criminal assault charges. She will not lose her teaching certificate because she doesn’t have one (not needed at a charter school). Weather the assaulted has a record or not is completely irrelevant. A teacher does not get to whoop ass on a kid. Another adult who was identified in the video is up for action for failure to report.
The parents of the assaulted are filing civil charges against the teacher and school. And that’s about it.
I doubt there is a group of 13 year old boys anywhere on the planet that could restrain themselves from laughing at a dancing retard.
I had an elementary school principal spank me with an inch thick wooden paddle with holes drilled through it. He hit me harder and more times. He didn’t lose his job. When I told my dad what happend, I got spanked again with a belt this time. We were easier to scare back then because there were some real consequences. So many kid’s growing up without parental supervision these days that now they grow up insolent disrepectful little assholes. It’s not the school’s fault, these are things kids should learn at home.
Somehow I seriously doubt this teacher went into a knipshun fit, without provocation.
Pretty nasty move at the end of the video where the teacher tries to break the kid’s neck.
The answer to much of these cultural problems is to start outsourcing the prison system to China. In one generation this stupidity will be gone and the current brain dead ghetto culture will evolve or be gone.

I think Hitler tried that one but it didn’t quite get the result he expected.
I’m with #2, WTF is this thread about again?
Promo for Home Schooling ?

That is not true. My mother teaches at a private school and she has to have a teaching certificated from the state with the same requirements as public school teachers.
The teacher deserved to get fired. No excuse for doing what she did. She didn’t spank the kid; she beat him. There is a big difference.

Was it just a dress code against jeans or did they have to cover their underpants as well. I think her outfit made her look unprofessional. She looks just like a student.
The principal and every staff member that witnessed this event should also be FIRED.
Not much to investigate, jail and prosecute the biatch.
That teacher really needs some training.
You punch from the hip, letting the fist fly in a straight line from the hip for maximum impact. When ‘up close and personal’, elbows make a far more effective tool than a fist.
What are they teaching teachers nowadays?
#25 The DON
best comment evar! (on this thread)
#23: You are just plain wrong. She has no certificate and is not required to have one for teaching what she was hired to teach in charter schools. And now she has apologized. But she can still get a job as a charter school teacher in Houston, even if she is convicted of criminal acts. Joy.
The nuns that beat me preferred table legs. One of them had one she called the”Board Of Education”. Beatings were usually formal affairs requiring us to bend over or extend our hands knuckle-side up. But when their chemical balance was at the right level, they’d put on a show that would make this video seem like play-fighting. My favorite scene involved Vincent Salvino being literally kicked out of the classroom, dragged down the hallway by his hair, and then tossed down a flight of stairs. This was third grade. Things got more severe until seventh grade when some of us started to hit them back and they toned it down a bit. Ah, the Sixties. Peace , love, and corporal punishment.
I wonder what home life is like for this teacher.
“Dinner’s ready! Get down here or I’m gonna go whoop all yo asses!”
# 7 Grandpa,
What, it’s probably no worse then what happens at home!!!!
The teacher did that cause he hit another female student.
