Some teachers are rotten. (Not the vast majority, however).

But this is just wrong.

this is frightening. these teachers need to axed and blacklisted. stupid fucks.

... but the only way that works is for their victims to retaliate, not the entire class. This was extremely poor judgement on the part of the teacher however well intentioned.

Also, I'm not sure of just how much of a bully one can be at age six.

My son's bullies chocked him, kicked him between the legs, punched him, slapped him, grabbed and ripped his art work in the classroom and punched him down causing him to hit his head on concrete. All of this happened this past school year in kindergarten. On the final week of school, the worst bully chased him down in the playground, cornered him and hit him in the eye. That's much a bully can do at age six

... I've had plenty of experience with bullies, but my recollection is that is started around 4th grade. You know, when guys are starting to "mature".

who spent the year having racial slurs (the kid is Asian) hurled at him all ear en masse.

if the allegations are true that teacher just taught a whole class it is ok to be a bully. I remember back in the day a long long time ago, that if a kid was a bully the parents were called. If you decided to handle a bully yourself then you got in school detention and your parents were called...

She may be deeply motivated by the recent anti-bully movement and she thought it might actually be ok.

I've taught my son to defend himself if he's being bullied, but I know that school policy cannot encourage it. My son's teacher call me on my cell about two months ago informing me that he karate kicked another child. Well, it turned out that the precious snowflake (who is much bigger than my son) had punched him in the chest. I had a talk with the principal, so he not punished. But the next day during morning announcements, she made it clear that she would punish anyone for fighting back. I had a very bad reaction to that. The only time I was nearly suspended in middle school was the one and only time I fought back against a bully. One of the other moms told my mom that school administration basically gave up on the monster and resorted to just punishing kids they can actually reach. We just transferred him to a private school.

Force the school to show in a court of law that self-defense can ever be punished.

My mom gave the Vice-principal hell for threatening to suspend me, but it was a time when parents felt and acted helpless. I think most parents in my generation will not put up with the shit we did as kids.

Yeeeesh.

I wonder if the teacher will be subjected to the same thing?

Bad decision on the teachers part, what was she thinking. She will be looking for a job.

Though I think this is not the right way of dealing with it, hopefully in the long run it done alot of good.

this sort of sadistic, sick shit, can't possibly do any good for any of the kids involved.

yikes to your response. Oh, and we don't even know what this supposed bully supposedly did.

when we were bad. He stopped doing it when we got a certain age. Maybe it was those spankings I got from my dad that makes me think like this. .

not that I think it would be much better if they were 10 or 11.

from one adult in authority, and getting an entire group of kids to gang up on and hit one child.

Even if the child had bullied others himself, it's not the way to deal with it. It's just teaching the entire class how to be bullies.

I have to wonder what they were thinking.

a bully is, I see they've found it in Texas. She figured out how to get people to feel bad for the bully.

I think she still teaches, but in another district.
