Gym teacher attacks students
Filed under: Day Care & Education
It seemed like a normal gym class for 5th graders at Pico Rivera Meller Elementary School -- until they crossed paths with a nutcase, and were attacked.
The students were running laps, and in doing so, ran through another teachers' first-grade physical education class. The first-grade teacher then became "highly upset," and started "striking at some of the kids running through her class."
One the victims, Lauren Lopez, 10 -- while pointing out a large red mark on upper arm where she'd be slapped -- told a local TV station that the teacher "just started tripping and kicking kids."
School counselors and psychologists are now on campus to speak to the students involved.
An incident similar to this actually happened while I was in school. Our band teacher flipped out, slammed a kid against a locker and started cursing him out. I figured it was a one-off, but teaching seems to be a very demanding job -- are outbursts like this common amongst educators?

What started in the stairwell of PS 330 between a gym teacher and a first grader ended in a lawsuit against the city.
"On the way down the stairs, [the student] was jumping and spitting coming down the stairs, I motioned to him a couple of times to please stop, you're going to hurt someone," said John Webster, 27, about what provoked an incident last April when, he says, the boy started kicking him repeatedly.

Catherine said...I worked as a teacher's aide in a special ed class. One day the teacher slammed a student's hand in the door. She often lost control in the classroom. You might think it was the children being out of control, but that wasn't the case.
One day the class had enough of her and they all picked up their desks and moved to the corner of the room where I was working with a few students, and they refused to go back. It wasn't because I was easy on them, I made them do their work, and they did it well for me.
