How about putting the student in a different class while they ‘investigate’?
If the teacher really did ‘cut his lip’, then maybe the teacher has some issues that need dealt with.
Why do they make a big deal out of Tourette’s? That doesn’t excuse bad behavior. Just because he has TS, he doesn’t have to behave? Not saying the teacher was in the right...if what they say happened..definitely was not, but why bring up Tourettes?
We should ban mechanic pencils in schools.
In fourth grade, Mr. Razzman could bean you with chalk or blackboard erasers from the other side of the room. He also checked fingernails every day for cleanliness. He ran a tight ship.
My 4th grade teacher, Sister Cornelius would hurl one of those big blackboard erasers at anyone not paying attention.
We survived. And learned to pay attention.
Tourettes kids should not be in a class with other kids. They epitomize disruptiveness.
Better than getting beaned with an eraser.
My older brother got tied up with a jump rope in one of the elementary grades. She also took the class out to her trailer for a field trip and showed them where she kept her gun. Times have really changed.
That teacher should be fired immediately and the parents are totally right in filing charges against him/her.
