Teacher Investigated After Allegedly Writing 'Stupid' On Student's Face | Fox News

Quote:
A teacher in Overton County, Tenn., has been suspended without pay while he's investigated for writing "stupid" on a student's forehead.
Though the teacher said he was "Just joking", I find this inappropriate behavior.

Default Teacher writes "stupid" across kids forehead in front of class

Not just writes it but does it backwards so the kid can read it in the mirror in permanent marker. He was suspended but I would be down there kicking the snot out of this teacher myself. What kind of person does this to a child? I'm sure the union is circling the wagons for this clown.

I doubt that. I grew up in a family of teachers (and union members) who be horrified by this guy. Progressive discipline is there to make sure that people are fired based on facts--sounds like it's pretty clear cut here. Someone like that has no business teaching. I would have been in the superintendents office (and at the next school board meeting) in a heart beat over this one too.

Horrible. I hope no union defends this jerk.

"Stupid" is exactly the type of immature remark another kid in the school who is a bully would use. And here we have a pathetic excuse for an adult using the same label (literally a label no less).

He/She should be fired immediately. There is no defense for such actions.

I'm surprised the kid stayed still while receiving his, um, temporary tattoo...

"I am sure the Unions are circling wagons."

Confusing association with causation.

A common conservative fallacy.

Give me a break, the teacher says he was joking?

At the very least someone should write the same word on his forehead, hang a sign around his neck saying STUPID FORMER TEACHER and he should be made to walk from one end of the city to the other.
