Video of a Houston charter-school teacher beating a student

Got to admit, the kid has decent ground defense…Kimbo could learn a few things from him!

Rodney King! Rodney King!

I am calling Jessie Jackson and Louis Farakahn (sp) right now!

Oh…wait a minute…

Is farrahkhesh still alive? I thought he was dead already?

That kid is a pussy.

He should have smacked that bitch into next week.

thats pretty messed up. damn, In all my years working in education, I have never seen anything like that. and what school is this that the teacher is allowed to dress that way???

I disagree. I counted 3 EASY opportunities to put her in his guard. I would’ve loved to have put her in an arm bar if I were his age.

why do hate the “gangsta” wardrobe?

Why are you so close minded about attire? Isnt there another thread on that?

Not that it makes it right - I would LOVE to know what lead up to that incidient. Here in RP205 there was an instance where a student (7th grade) told a teacher that he was going to rape her daughter when he got out of school (teachers daughter). I am not at all certain how the teacher kept her cool as well as she did when the student who was a known trouble maker made that comment.

Just as with most of the sensational news - we will never ever know the whole story.

I dont think Kimbo can spell “arm bar”…I was thinking more of avoiding a “bitch slap”!

I have read that the teacher went off on the boy because he was picking on a special needs student.

I could see that, I work entirely in special needs, all different sorts from mild retardation to just straight out behavioral problems, NOTHING and I mean NOTHING ets me fired up and in a students face quicker than a punk bully trying to mess with a kid who is defensless and not looking for trouble. I could see why that teacher would do that (not that its okay or that she should have but I could understand the motivation if that is true)
.

So she reacted to a kid picking on another who was probably defenseless…I say we give this teacher an award.

I bet that 90%+ of the folks on this site would defend a handicapped person (mentally or physically) in a public environment if they saw some thug kid victimizing them…and if it came to it with physical action. If this was in a shopping mall as opposed to a “special school” the story I am sure would be quite different.

“Woman protects handicapped child from thugs” would probably be the headline.

I agree 100%, unfortunatly the school systems and courts dont see it that way.

Myfoxhouston.com is reporting a physical education teacher at Jamie’s House Charter School in northwest Houston allegedly punched, kicked and slammed a 13-year-old student’s head against the wall as another student filmed the incident.

Don’t you get to drop the “Allegedly” part once it’s on video tape :slight_smile: What’s the defense “Oh no that’s all done on photoshop and multimedia editing”

I bet that when the kids mother gets out of the welfare office and lawyers up she will get a nice settlement from the school…maybe she can get her pride and joy of a son a nice new grill.

I went an elementary school that was 50% special needs and 50% uh…other (saying “normal” seems rude to me). Each handicapped student was paired with a non-handicapped student for an hour a day to work on projects together. This was probably one of the more enriching activities I had as a kid.
