Teacher beats student
 


Quote:

HOUSTON - The teacher caught on tape attacking a 13-year-old student has had a pending criminal charge against her for more than a year.

40-year old Sheri Lynn Davis has had a warrant out for her arrest since March of last year, according to the Harris County District Attorney's Office.

The D.A's office says Davis was wanted on a "criminal mischief" charge. Davis is accused of slashing a woman's tires, all four of them, with a knife.

It allegedly happened last year in January. According to the Harris County District Attorney's Office a warrant was issued for the teacher's arrest in March of 2009.

With an outstanding warrant for her arrest, Davis continued to teach science at Jamie's House Charter School in Northwest Harris County.

She has been wanted by the law this entire school year.

It was in a classroom at the school two weeks ago when a student recorded Davis pounding on a 6th grader.

Davis was fired late Monday night after school officials saw the video.

As for that criminal charge that has been outstanding for more than a year, the former teacher posted a $1,000 bond on the charge on Tuesday, a day after the video went viral.

The school is still investigating the sixth grader's accusations that other teachers watched while he was attacked and didn't do anything about it.

Didn't look like much of a beating, not even a decent bitchslapping.

If a teacher in my high school were beating a student, there would be marks ... and dents in the lockers.

Saw a gym teacher whale on a guy once. Stoner dude behaved pretty well after that.

I think she should be disciplined for being a piss poor fighter regardless of what they find with the rest of it.

Additional information: it's an alternative school, and the teacher's side of the story is that the boy either hit or taunted a disabled girl in the class, depending on the source.

Yea, it really wasn't a very good ass kicking. She fights like a gurl.

Still, the boy was in the corner cowering - He never tried to fight back even while being hit by his teacher. He had succumbed to her authority. Anything physical on her part after they two students were separated was unwarranted - I think. At that point she should have sent him to the principal or whatever SOP was/is.

Unless, of course, dragging him around and slapping/kicking him IS SOP. In which case she followed the book precisely. :rolleyes:

Oh, I wasn't defending her actions. Just adding details I'd come across (I actually went searching because her name sounded extremely familiar, but as best as I can tell there's no connection to anything I'd know.) Even if he weren't cowering, proper restraint procedures do not involve bitchslapping.

No prob - I didn't take it that way at all.

When that video went viral, maybe half of the people watching were outraged students or parents, and the other half were teachers vicariously living out their daydreams.

FINISH HIM! MERCY IS FOR THE WEAK!!!

I could understand it if Aden's teacher felt like doing this to him at times...

xoxoxoBruce 05-14-2010 08:22 AM

But there's a difference between understanding, and approving.;)

I laughed when I saw that clip and remembered the Psycho teachers we had at school,ok it was the 60's/70's but some of the things that went on were way worse than that.
Our mental science teacher punching a boy full in the face and knocking him off a stool in the class because he yawned when the teacher was speaking.
I got hit in the face by a bunch of keys that another nutter teacher threw at the guy in the desk in front of me who was pissing about, but he ducked quicker than me.
Pupils getting smacked in the back of the head with rulers,hands books or whatever else was handy.
Happy days
