Teacher Fired After Biting Student
<snip>

LOUISVILLE, Ky. --School officials on Tuesday fired a middle school teacher charged with biting a student who would not spit out a piece of candy.

Caroline Kolb has pleaded not guilty to an aggravated assault charge for allegedly biting 14-year-old Garrick Hudson on the back during a classroom scuffle Jan. 11.

School officials conducted a probe and fired Kolb for insubordination and conduct unbecoming a teacher, The Courier-Journal reported, citing a copy of her termination letter.

Administrators had previously warned Kolb to avoid being physically confrontational with students, according to the letter.

A call Tuesday to Kolb's attorney was not immediately returned.

The student's mother said Kolb told her son to stand in the hallway after he disobeyed her order to spit out the candy. When the boy tried to retrieve his books, they got into the scuffle.

According to court records, the boy was treated for a bite wound.

1. Damn, she'd gotten physical with the kids before this?
Holy crap...she's someone who needs to not be around kids.

2. With so many reports like this
and they seem to be multiplying like rabbits...you have to wonder if it isn't just another ploy to help shut down public education.

I wouldn't have wanted my kids in a class with a teacher like that. Or in a school who would let more than ONE incident with the same teacher pass.

4. Yikes. That's worse than what happened to me..
When I got busted chewing gum in school.


The teacher shoved his fingers in my mouth, grabbed my gum, shoved it in my nose, twisted it around, and then put it back in my mouth.
My father went to the school, told the teacher if he ever touched me again he would go up there and beat the living shit out of him..lol. The teacher didn't work there the next year.
