I can't believe that woman did that to the little boy. I mean that was like brutal and uncalled for. Some people actually agreed with this in the comments below the article on the website
Wow... there's the video in the link and everything the article states:
"HOUSTON (CBS/KHOU) When their teacher backed one of their classmates into a corner, students at a Houston-area charter school thought it was a joke - but it allegedly turned into a shocking and brutal beating that was caught on tape.
Cell phone video of alleged beating at Houston-area school. (KHOU)
Sherri Davis, a science teacher at Jamie's House Charter School, allegedly backed 13-year-old Isaiah Johnson into a corner and began beating him while his classmates watched.
At the beginning of the video you can hear the laughter and applause from the students as Isaiah is backed into a corner by Davis after Isaiah reportedly teased a female classmate. But Janiqua Johnson, a student who shot the video on her cell phone, says Davis "snapped" and started beating the 13-year-old, according to CBS affiliate KHOU.
The teacher "just started beating him up," Janiqua Johnson told KHOU. "His behavior may have been bad but he didn't deserve that," Johnson said, referring to the teasing that preceded the alleged beating.
Davis was placed on administrative leave when school officials learned of the incident in late April, but was fired Monday when officials saw the video.
"It was horrifying," said Sue Jones, spokesperson for the school. "There's just no other word for that."
Janiqua Johnson and other witnesses told KHOU that four or five school employees were present in the classroom. The students claimed they felt intimidated by some teachers after the video became public.
The school is looking into allegations that other teachers watched the beat-down without stepping in, according to a school spokesperson, and said that it will punish any teachers found to have done that.
The Harris County Sheriff's Department is also investigating the incident, although a spokesperson declined to comment further."

There was a similar case in the UK recently where a group of kids decided to collectively bully their teacher while secretly filming it to see how far they'd have to go and try and get a funny reaction. The guy snapped, grabbed a metal weight thingy and started smashing one of the most annoying ones in the head screaming "die!". Kids can often bully teachers terribly.
In this case the student just got hit a few times while the teacher lost their career and marketable skill. I have more sympathy for the teacher.

You'd think one slap would be enough lol, that is some psycho shit.

It's still the teacher's job to prevent these things from happening. If you can't handle kids don't become a teacher.

This women should by shoot in the knes . . . both oft them.
I mean does she have any idea how fucking bad it is vor a young boy like this to be beaten by an authority figure?Anyone who has a basic understanding of Pschology knows that stuff like this leads to an increased violent behaviour of the victim.
God fuck that makes me angry

what the hell, in no way should that happen
|
But... I thought Texans wanted teachers to beat their kids if necessary to keep them in line??
|
i seen worse beatings by teacher when I went mid school in korea...
worse part is during my time...when teacher beats us we usually didn't try to cover ourselves..-_-;
we just took beatings like men..-_-l;

Don't make fun of other students or one day your teacher might snap and do what your parents should have.
Hopefully, everyone takes a lesson from this. Obviously, teacher was out of line. Still valuable for the student who got rofl stomped. This might result in one less asshole in the world. Be positive.

Nobody can handle some of the little shits that go through the educational system. Their job is to teach, not act as free childcare for bad parents.

What a bunch of nonsense, a few slaps isn't going to do anything to the kid and definately not make him more violent. All it'll do is make the kid scared as hell whenever he sees the teacher. I've studied psychology for two years by the way.

The most disturbing thing about the video is the number of comments supporting the teacher or saying "we need more of this."
I know how rotten kids can be, especially at that age. I remember once being so unruly that I literally made a teacher curse at me and break down crying. She had to be moved to another class room. I'm ashamed that I drove some one to those lengths, but at the same time I never had any ill will towards the teacher or my fellow students, I just had no idea what impact my behavior was having. I was bored and undisciplined. I expect that this kid is the same way. He probably acts out a lot in class, to the point that his fellow students and his teachers are sick of him, but I have a hard time believing that he has any real malice towards this teacher or even the girl he's teasing.
I don't know what the solution is when kids are showing up to school unable or unwilling to behave, but I'm pretty sure that a full fledged beatdown of a minor who's not even fighting back at all is not the solution. All that kid learned from that if some one mouths off to him in the future, it's okay to beat them down if he's bigger than they are. If a teacher can do it, then why can't a student?
Obviously the teacher is headed to jail. I don't know how I feel about that. I feel bad for any teacher who gets pushed to the brink by undisciplined children, since teachers have no control over the students they get and no real method to discipline them. On the other hand, you obviously can't have teachers just pummeling kids, no matter how unruly, or soon you will have teachers pummeling kids because they didn't do their homework.

some kids deserve that though
|
Really unprofessional but i wouldn't call that a beating ...
The teacher probably needs to get fired but jail ??? are you kidding ????
|
Cool now the tax payers get to pay for the lawsuit the kids parents launch against the school.
|
Holy crap. That was brutal. Glad the teacher got fired. That is just way to overboard. I know in some schools, there really isn't any good punishment for stuff like bullying but damn.
