A schoolteacher has been fired after she brutally attacked a 13-year-old pupil in front of a classroom full of students, according to US reports.
Shocking video footage appears to show Sheri Davis dragging, kicking and slapping sixth grader Isaiah Johnson after squaring up to him as he cowered in a corner.
The alleged beating is thought to have lasted almost a minute and was filmed on a mobile phone by another pupils before being posted on YouTube.

what are you but my reflection? who am i to judge or strike you down?
"I will promise you this, that if we have not gotten our troops out by the time I am president, it is the first thing I will do. I will get our troops home. We will bring an end to this war. You can take that to the bank." - Barack Obama
when you told me 'if you can't beat 'em, join 'em'
i was thinkin 'death before dishonor'
To say the least. Maybe i should've added a warning, its very distressing to watch.
according to the story in the news report, the kids were making fun of a mentally challenged kid
but that in no way excuses this teachers actions...there is no excuse for this behavior
That teacher's life sure is over. Couldn't have been worth it.
"With our thoughts we make the world"
while i agree schools are much different today and kids seem more willing to cause trouble....no matter what he may have done he is 13 and she is an adult. if a 13 year old stole my wallet and i beat his ass i would be arrested.

if the kid was attacking her then i could understand defending herself but the kid was cowering in the corner...it didn't look like he was trying to attack her but perhaps something happened before the video was shot that set her off...but it's still no excuse...if the kid is that bad, call his parents and the cops

True...but a lot of parents have turned into pure blind defenders of the child's wrongdoings rather than disciplinarians. Of course, beating the kid like this was certainly not called for.

The bold part is true lol... but... like you said, adults just can't do that sort of thing.
If this woman is a teacher, then she just wasted her college degree, because she'll never get a job working with kids again.

The boy's final act of insolence lit the "blue touch paper", turning (science teacher Peter) Harvey into a man "possessed", the court heard. He told the boy: "I'll teach you to fuck off," before dragging him out of the classroom and into a storeroom across the corridor. There he picked up a dumbbell and hit him twice about the head, shouting: "Die, die, die."
:shock:
I should state that this is the only teacher to ever actually get thru to me. I actually visited him a few times over the last 20 years, he was still teaching up until he passed away 5 years ago.
I am not condoning what this teacher did but sometimes this is what a kid needs. Kids today have no consequences for their actions. They think that they can do what they want when they want. I am not saying beat kids, but at least put the "fear" back into them.

He's so right. Even more so today, kids are NOT disciplined at all! I see so many of them with complete disrespect to adults and its just wrong. I know their are a lot of Liberals in here and I don't wanna turn this into a political discussion but IMO a lot of that type of behavior steams from Liberal thinking. Again, IMO.
Kids need to know their are consequences for their inappropriate actions. I got in trouble ALL the time growing up and suffered the consequences......got my ass kicked! HAHA. Some might say then it shows it did not help me but it did. It taught me a lot. That said....I just cant really hit my kids. My daughter is almost 4 and once I spanked her cause she was wide awake and being very bad at 3am and I felt really bad about it. But she does understand when I say no and she listens to me......it starts at home.
Sorry for the ramble. I have not been in here in a long time. Its nice to be back.

Let's forget about 'Liberal thinking' and just crack the whip! Show who's boss. You could have questioned yourself as to why she was wide awake at 3am.
For any adult who has responsibility of a child (whether permanently or temporarily), gaining respect is important. 'Governing' by fear is left for prisons. Yes, some parents do not teach their children respect but in the same vein, some teachers cannot command this respect. Some kids are just plained troubled, coming from a troubled environment - this could be all kinds: abuse at home, poverty, drugs, etc.
From what acoustic guy went on to say it seems he knew this wasn't the right thing to do and he felt guilty about it. It didn't seem like he was advocating it as the way forward
Gaining respect is important but it seems a lot of these children today are raised to feel they do not have to respect teachers (or adults in general) ... instead of respecting someone until they do something to lose that respect it seems they only respect their peers. In the UK case a group were taunting the teacher to get a reaction they could film on their phones ... the reaction was more than they expected. The teacher knew he did wrong but confesses to having lost it.
He was a teacher that be all reports had huge respect from a lot of pupils who were queueing up to sing his praises (some of whom I know personally) ... I think its sad that good teachers do not get the support and help to disipline (and I am against any kind of physical discipline) children from within the school system and from parents. I know from when I was at school there are some parents who will defend any kind of behaviour by their children.
I feel we need to rethink the way teachers and pupils are expected to interact as if things continue as they are we are going to get fewer people willing to become teachers ... and I'm rambling :P

Where I'm not ugly and you're lookin' at me
Honestly, I think the parents are way to Liberal with the kids. They don't worry about consequences. They are not taught that their are rules in life and bad behavior will not be tolerated. Bottom line is that it starts from home. Sure sometimes you get a bad seed and nothing will change him or her, but for the most part....most part....parents who run a tight ship and are involved with their kids lives raise better children. Kids are so spoiled today. That's one of the reasons I believe in conservative values. I just dont agree with raising a child in a liberal environment. That said...I love my children with all my heart and spoil them rotten! Hahaha but I do it in a way where they don't know it really. (Does that make sense?) They know they cant get over on me, but they also know listening to me and behaving gets them rewards.

Why cant he just throw the bad kids out of class? Every time they are bad throw them out. Keep doing it till the parents call then document everything, review it with them..?
I'm asking cause I think about this often actually. Teach like the guy in Lean on me! Seriously?

Like others have said, this kid probably deserved it, and there's a serious lack of consequences in schools with bullies and other problematic students.
As far as school administrations having no support for dealing with kids, really, do they even have any real options? Remember being a kid when you got in trouble and the worst thing you could think of is your parents finding out?
Forget detention or paddling, those punishments didn't really deter anyone, but the threat of having the school call your parents did. And it wasn't even a fear of getting beat... my parents spanked us once in a great while, but getting in trouble with them wasn't fun (loss of privileges, disappointing them, etc.).
How exactly is teaching kids respect and to behave a liberal or conservative ideal? You bringing up "conservative values" and "a liberal environment" makes no sense to me.
