That bitch be crazy. Too much?

Yeah but in her defense... high schoolers.

She's like school on Saturday.

The woman is in the wrong job. She should be a cop.

Also, in the photo, she appears to be able to yell so loudly that it hurts students’ ears. Don’t some dictatorial regimes use sound cannons to disperse crowds? This woman could do it with just her voice. I’ll be surprised if a force in the area doesn’t recruit her very soon.

Lol, do you think that posed stock image is a live shot of her teaching?
Good thing the photographer managed to show up before she hit the student - that sure was a lucky guess on his part!

Sociopath. She'll get a slap on the wrist and will be out terrorizing society in no time.

[MatthewSlyfield]

Worse, she'll get a slap on the wrist and a ticket to the police academy.

cage match!!! teacher v. student...to the death

[SQRLSY One]

Where is the "safe space" for the students? College kids get them, and high schoolers don't? WTF?

[Jerry B.]

Fake news, Reason. The teacher doesn't look like that.

So fight'n word?

[$park¥ is the Worst]

Paul Batrice, an attorney representing the student’s family, told KVUE-TV that the teen may have sustained a brain injury and that she spent the weekend after the incident in a dark room.

She may also have broken her spleen, may have ruptured a kidney, and will definitely be suffering from PTSD for the rest of her life. There has to be something else that can be piled on there to up the amount of loot they’ll be after.

That excuses teacher's responsive strikes, but the curb stomp is still a problem.

Don't mess with Texas?

I got my ass whooped plenty in school with a paddle , the one with the holes drilled in it to cut down on wind resistance, and deserved every bit of it. This is what happens when that gets taken away.
