I haven't watched the vid yet (can't from work) but I would think 1 week is not enough. Sounds like she shouldn't be teaching if she doesn't like kids.

4 and 5 year old kids are pretty stupid - but any teacher should know that.
They're 5 years old, for crying out loud.
If the teacher can't stand kindergarteners, she should be made to teach middle schoolers. Then she'll know how good she had it before.

From the ABC News Link:
Quote:
|
The teacher's attorney told ABC News the 30-year veteran "wishes to apologize to the students and the students' parents. Her actions that day were an aberration … the result of medication that she was taking as a result of a recent hospital visit."
|
And so it begins - it was the drugs that made her go to the devil.
So what was the rationale for the previous face slap, let alone the earlier incidents implied in the article - and how can the parents (and school) be assured this does not happen again?
Sounds to me as if the old girl is plain tuckered out - time for her perhaps to go into some other less stressful line of work.

'You Are All Just Stupid Kids' - teacher said
Pretty sure I heard my son's JV basketball coach say the same thing to the team about 4 weeks ago
