quarter two post seven

i read an article about a teacher who punched an eight year old and picked him up and shook him because the kid broke a crayon!!! The student then was ordered out of the classroom where the student told another teacher the story who told him to learn not to complain. The other teacher states that the boy would not tell her what happened, though she could tell he was 'visibly upset.' the cops do not know who to believe.

i think this shows a lot about the school. the fact that they'll hire anyone (the teacher is also under investigation for hitting three other children) and don't even look into their backgrounds. i think it shows that schools aren't doing their jobs if that is the only kind of people they're hiring.

what else would they be doing with their time if not finding good teachers?
isn't that the whole point of learning? you need a good teacher.
