When I first heard this story it didn’t add up. Did this mother send a note to school telling the teacher that her daughter had a doctors appointment?? If so and the teacher was aware that she was leaving why would the teacher flip out?? Maybe there was no note and the teacher refused to let the girl leave and it was the girl that flipped out. Are young children just allowed to say they have to leave school on there own,doesn’t a parent have to go to the office and then the office sends for the child. As I said, so much doesn’t add up.

Assualting a child or a person is not ever right, but the mother should have jumped in and helped her daughter. The teacher is not given responsibility to physically punish a child, so they should keep their job as easy as possible, give out referrals and send the child to the principals office. Stories like the one mentioned above, is the type of situation which will get a teacher followed home and help him/her remember they are a teacher and not the parent. Being that this parent looks a little older, she was more than likely afraid the teacher would beat her up as well. It’s not fair and charges should be filed against this teacher, civilly and criminal. This school should also be investigated by the state. Children are being beat and touched. Who knows what else.

THESE ARE THE MOST IGNORANT COMMENTS EVER. I FEEL FOR ANYONE OF YOU WHO HAVE CHILDREN BECAUSE IF YOUR CHILD HAS A PROBLEM IN SCHOOL, YOU OBVIOUSLY WILL BE OF NO USE TO THEM SEEING THAT YOU ARE PRO TEACHERS. THAT ONLY SAYS ONE OR TWO THINGS ABOUT YOU. EITHER YOU ARE TOO LAZY TO RAISE YOUR CHILDREN PROPERLY AND YOU EXPECT THE SCHOOL SYSTEM TO DO IT OR YOU’RE TOO BUSY DOING YOU INSTEAD OF TAKING CARE OF YOUR CHILDREN.

I believe that if the parents would parent at home, the teachers’ job (to teach) would be a lot easier. Parents, let’s make sure that our children eat well, sleep well, play well and are well mannered. And no, I’m not a teacher. I’m a PARENT, and I do take my job seriously. If we do our part, they can easily do theirs. I hate to say it, but the current state of the schools is mostly the parents’ fault. We can’t leave it up to teachers to raise our children. It’s not fair that they have to do their jobs and ours too.

Wnhy was the teacher charged? The mother sounds like she made it up

The problem is that many parents have stated that if a teacher hits their child that they would beat the crap out of the teacher, however all I see are teachers beating up kids and nothing being done (yet). When I was a young one once I had a teacher who used to verbally humiliate me. No valid reason, she just didn’t like me. That is until I told my mother and she actually ended up putting Miss Kirschner in the hospital. The entire class room stated that the teacher did that to half of the class. The case was tossed out against my mother and myself. Yes this teacher tried to have me arrested and I never touched her. She was fired when she tried the same thing on another student and his parent came to school with a shotgun. Your children are not saints or angels but that doesn’t mean that the teacher is either. Cams in classrooms sounds good to me. A video is proof.

America as a whole could turn back to the Bible, to church and to building strong families. We would need far, far less anger management training, etc. if people would turn their lives over to Almighty God, who can transform their lives of hostility into lives of peace.

I can’t believe some of these comments. Obviously education was not a priority for some of you. Now, to the issue at hand, I agree that kids are not as respectful as they can or should be to teachers or other adults. I think there may have been some history between this teacher and student, but unless threatened physically a teacher should not “beat up” a student. Oh, and as for the mother not speaking English … this does not mean she is here illegally … remember most of our parents or grandparents didn’t speak English when they first arrived either, and that doesn’t mean they got here illegally.

Something isn’t right with this story and I don’t think we are getting all the facts, and, in fact, I think there are some outright lies being thrown around. Why would a teacher put themselves squarely into an imbroglio with a student to the point of possibly getting arrested and/or fired from their jobs over a notebook? And in front of the mother and students? It doesn’t make any sense. Quite possibly a misunderstanding grew into a confused situation which was misinterpreted to such a point, that the onus of responsibility was unfairly shifted onto the teacher’s shoulders. Add into the mix the obvious miscomunication compounded by the language barrier and the naive expectations of a ten year old girl. I’m sure the truisms will be extracted once this situation gets parsed over by lawyers.

As a teacher, I say, if they are found guilty of doing somethhing like this, public stoning would be good. And yes, even if she is hot like this teacher.

I guess new terachers should have to take ascreening test. Put them in a classroom was a bunch of disgusting kids. Kids that curse, yell ,have no manners be very disrespectful, have parents that act the same way, etc ,etc. Keep the teacher in the room for an hour and see how they react. If they can handle it hire them cause most of the new teachers tody cant speak proper english

The teacher (she’s hot) can sit on me!

THE TEACHER WAS ONLY INSTILLING A LITTLE DISIPLINE, SOMETHING THE MOTHER HAS FAILED TO DO BECAUSE IF THE AUTHORITIES FIND OUT THEY WILL TAKE AWAY THE WELFARE & FOOD STAMPS & SECTION 8.

Lots of negativity in the comments. The bottom line is that a better background check system has to be put in place to make sure certain people are not in charge of children. The current system does not work well. Along with the undergraduate and graduate classes a teacher takes, as well as state and national tests, another test should be administered – psychological. Similar to the police, teachers end up in stressful situations often. Many universities and colleges fail to teach classroom management skills as well. Some people aren’t meant to be teachers. This particular student may have been a pain in the a** at that moment, like many junior high students, but it’s not an excuse to get beat. Side note: for those pointing out immigration – your family emigrated here several generations ago. You’re no different.

Evelyn Tirado looks pretty hott.

I believe that all classrooms should have hidden cameras and monitors behind them checking them out–this will surely stop many conflicts by rapidly having security guards subdue the uncontrollable teacher or child before things get out of hand–be it of sexual context or physical or worst—and also–all teachers should be forced to take drug tests from now and then -lets say , like every 3 or 6 months because drugs, can also prevent the person from being able to with-hold their tempers–with these two simple actions in hand , i’m sooo way sure that many if not all – of these continuos problems will be controlled

when i went to school u could smart off to teachers and b disruptive get in fight on school ground and the reachers wouls BEAT YOUR ASS WITH A PADDLE GOOD AND PROPER. and that my friends is whats wrong with public schools

Ugly Betty ?

Through a translator, Marquez said she’s concerned Tirado will be allowed to teach again.

Another illegal getting free school for her child.

what actually transpired between the teacher and the pupil? Was the pupil respectful to the teacher or the teacher just went out of control like that? The teacher should have been able to put his/her temper under control because as a teacher you have to lead an examplary life and one of them is self reatraint and control. Kids should as well respect those that are placed in charge of them because trying to aggravate a teacher by being mean, rude and disrectpectful is a minus on their side. A school is a place where kids learn to be useful and resourceful bringing pride and joy to their families and to the society at large not being insolent, thinking they can get away with anything. A bad behavior needs to be checked out using the proper method not people loosing their temper and causiing chaos. This is America, the land of civilization and people should act peoperly. Thank you.

I am not condoning any aggression on behalf of teachers. I am simply stating that if a child comes to school with an attitude that has obviously needed adjustment because of bad parenting….(that is if this is the case). That being that a teacher has to spend more time with a child more than its parent. That maybe a teacher can have more discretion on what is considered just punishment. Yeah Yeah I know what you all are thinking…..this guy is nuts!!! No I am not talking about kids being kids and the normal ran tics that kids put teachers and parents through..I am talking about the kids that Throw chairs at teachers, I am talking about kids that start fires in class, I am talking about kids who curse up a storm in the class room at the teacher. I am sorry that some of you feel offended by this. But if you are sympathetic maybe its because you condone all of this. Grow some balls and lets get these kids back to where they belong. On the other side of the line that some of them have crossed. You Got it.

a substitute teacher pushed my son to get back to his seat. she was fired within an hour. no teacher has the right to ever touch a kid… period…

I would be in jail right now….

It is time for home schooling at the board of Ed’s expense…

First let me establish that I am a father of two girls. Just like any other parent I would not want anyone; never mind a teacher or school official to touch them. But I have to be fair in my statement. Are we talking about a child or are we talking about an angry stupid snot nose disrespectful teen with a attitude that is uncontollable? Let’s face it…it is very difficult to find a kid that exemplifies any form of what kids use to be when we were growing up. Kids are completely out of control. I or anyone can not tell what exactly happened here but if the latter is established to hold some truth to it….it’s about time a teacher was ballsy enough to give it right back…Maybe the next child will think twice before disrespecting the educational system and it’s teachers.
