That would be on top of the cost of a size six shoe removed from her behind from my wife if she did it to one of our kids.

MILWAUKEE -- A Milwaukee teacher was charged with disorderly conduct after cutting off a 7-year-old's braid in front of her classmates, WISN-TV in Milwaukee reported.
Lamya Cammon was angry, confused and scared by the incident last week in which the apparently frustrated teacher cut one of her braids off after she wouldn't stop playing with them in class.
Cammon, 7, sports a few dozen braids, but one is conspicuously absent.
"She told me to stop playing with it, then cut it off and sent me back to my desk," Cammon said.
Cammon, a first-grader at Congress Elementary, said her teacher used a pair of classroom scissors to cut off one of the braids after she absent-mindedly kept playing with them.
She said the teacher called her to the front of the room and cut it in front of the whole class.
"I went to my desk and cried. And they was laughing," Cammon said. "She threw it away, and she said, 'Now what you gonna go home and say to your momma? ' And I said, 'That you cut off my hair,'" Cammon said.
Cammon's mother is furious. She went to the school and confronted the teacher.
"I said, 'Well, you know, you cut a lot of her hair off.' And she was like, 'Well, I do apologize.' She said, 'But I was frustrated,'" Cammon's mother, Helen Cunningham, said.

Disorderly conduct? Why not assault?
The teacher is a fricking mental case and needs to banned from being around kids.
Is you chillrin learnin?
Tears for Milwaukee, another once great city down the drain.
What a cutie! And what an awful experience for her.
Public school teachers today are nuts!
“Lamya Cammon was angry, confused and scared by the incident last week in which the apparently frustrated teacher cut one of her braids off after she wouldn’t stop playing with them in class”
Might be the first time young Lamya has ever been told ‘no’ by an adult.
Pretty, pretty little girl ... too bad she’s stuck with the name Lamya.
mmm mmm mmm
Damn. I think a $175 fine is going easy. That’s arguably assault and battery of a child.
My wife would’ve raised all kinds of hell if that had been done to my daughter.

So let me get this straight...the teacher assaults a SEVEN year old girl and gets off with a slap on the wrist? That teacher needs a good ass beating.
Good grief. The nuns did stuff like that all the time.
I thought the same thing, beautiful child but a lousy parent to name her that.
I hope she does well in life though.
Chuck Berry and his ding-a-ling get skeerd when there are stories like this one told.
I guess its pronounced Luh-MY-yah. *shudder*
She was sitting and playing with her hair. She’s 7. This is hardly a major discipline problem for a 7-year-old.
The teacher ought to be canned.

Union thugs, they’re the same everywhere.
Do this to a child of mine, you’ll be eating your meals through straw for a long time.
My great-niece and great-nephew were held out of school for a year by their mother. I doubt if either ever heard ‘no’ until they went to 1st grade. They both are spoiled rotten - but good kids, oddly enough.
The teacher ought to have a BIG chucks of her hair cut off down to the scalp, then by made to stand in stocks on the public square!
I wonder what her daddy had to say about the incident?
