It's a question a mother doesn't expect to get from her 13-year-old son after school: What happens to a teacher who beats up a student?
But Isaiah Reagins, a sixth-grader at Jamie's House Charter School in north Harris County, had good reason to ask. According to his mom and a cell phone video that apparently captured the incident, a female science teacher dragged him by the legs across the floor, slapped his face repeatedly, kicked his back at least twice and slammed his head against a wall.
That was the equivalent of a gentle clip behind the ear compared to what I've seen some of the teachers here do. One of the teachers has this giant wooden-spoon looking thing about 3 foot long. I've seen him swing on that thing like Babe Ruth and bring the hurting to one boy. Suffice is to say I understand the urge teachers have to go postal on the little sh*ts they have to put up with but personally I think hitting kids to hurt is pretty weak. That having been said boys especially sometimes need to be reminded of the "order of things".
Ok, obviously totally unacceptable behavior from the teacher, but...
The thing is you can see the little **** smiling and laughing the whole time, and you can hear everyone else giggling. He's egging her on, knowing he set her over the edge. She didn't hurt him, and you KNOW he did something to put her in that state.

Ideally but I suspect this kid's parents don't give a sh*t. Ime this age group (12-15) is the worst for acting out in school and it can almost always be traced back to absent or neglectful parents. We have "at risk" kids at the school I work at but it's a high school so these kids (16-18) have generally worked through the worst of their "annoying little f*cker" stage and are getting back on track. Usually.

On a side note, if you look at student success in school (typically test scores) the biggest factor in how students do is the socioeconomic status of the family. Basically that means that middle-upper class parents spend more time with their kids, teaching them, and the quality of the school factors less into it. Not saying it's right, but that's the way it is currently. The poor kids typically never catch up to their peers.

Was on the news this morning, parents are suing the school and the teacher. Teacher has been fired.
Punk egging her on, probably. Who's the 14-15 year old and who's the adult supposed to be?
Teacher dressed like that and probably wondered before why she has no respect from her students for her "authority". Want to be a leader? Dress like a leader. Want respect? Earn it.
I am a proponent of school uniforms for students and teachers alike.
Looks like the fights I used to have with my older sister. I wouldn't hit her back but my laughing and taunting enraged here and were actually more hurtful than fists.
