Teacher Beats Student Caught on Video
If you're a regular reader of TLT, I'm pretty rough on the Teacher's uninons.
But, this woman is out of control and doesn't belong in any classroom.
From CT Patriot:
When your teacher supported a fellow in the corner, students at a charter school in the Houston area thought it was a joke – but apparently became a terrible and brutal beating was recorded tape.
Sherri Davis, a science teacher at the School House Jamie Charter, allegedly backed 13-year-old Isaiah Johnson in a corner and began hitting him while his companions watched.
At the beginning of the video you can hear the laughter and applause from the students as Isaiah is cornered by Davis after Isaiah reports, one classmate joked. Janique But Johnson, a student who recorded video on your cell phone, says Davis, “snapped” and began beating the 13-year-old, according to CBS affiliate KHOU.
The teacher “just started beating him up,” Johnson said Janique KHOU. “His behavior may have been wrong, but did not deserve that,” said Johnson, referring to the jokes that preceded the alleged beatings.
Davis was placed on administrative leave when school officials learned of the incident in late April, but was fired Monday after authorities saw the video.
