Brickbat: When Students Aren't the Bullies

A Nebraska City High School teacher and the two paraeducators who work in her classroom have been charged with child abuse after authorities said they were caught on audio and videotape abusing a special needs student. Teacher Melissa Valenta has been charged with felony child abuse, and aides Emily Kent and Deborah Stidd have been charged with misdemeanor child abuse. Officials said the three, among other things, hit the student with dodgeballs, made him sit in soiled pants, and made him mop floors and climb stairs for extended periods.

Could Biden’s handlers be charged with similar elder abuse infractions if they don’t change his diapers in a timely manner? That could soil future job prospects.
Does comedically failing to climb one set of stairs for an extended period count as making someone climb stairs for an extended period? Asking for a friend.
Along the same lines, if a geriatric patient can’t remove a jacket by themselves does it default to being considered a straight jacket?

Yup. Other than the sitting in shit, this stuff has been around since I was a kid walking to school in the snow uphill both ways.
Positions of power attract people who desire to abuse power. And while teaching is a petty power role, the profession does attract those desiring petty power.
Not insulting teachers. My entire family were teachers, I taught myself for two years, many of my best friends are teachers, etc., etc. But it's like cops, priests, scoutmasters, etc. Most are good and honorable people, but the system evolves to protect a few bad eggs.
When something is compulsory, this is the kind of people that gravitate to it.
Google is by and by paying $27485 to $29658 consistently for taking a shot at the web from home. I have joined this action 2 months back and I have earned $31547 in my first month from this action. I can say my life is improved completely! Take a gander at it what I do.....

Dodgeball is a lousy game with a goal of hitting each other with dodgeballs. That’s play, not a crime.
As for the spoiled diaper, put that on the parents and the administrators. Grown up kids who wear diapers don’t belong in schools. They belong in their homes with tutors and family. Schools aren’t a babysitting service.
Dodgeball is a lousy game with a goal of hitting each other with dodgeballs.
Is that what you learned in school today? Good job, Jmmy! [pats head] 🙂
If you can dodge a bullet, you can dodge a ball!

No, the goal is to Dodge the Ball!
It could have been a stress relief activity for the educators. Perhaps they even referred to this as their stress ball.

What an asshole comment. These are special needs kids. Because they are speds, there are three gov't tax thieves in the classroom. Three abusive gov't employees.
What I find puzzling in these often-reported abuses, is where are the dads? If an admin soaked my kid with dirty mop water, one of us is taking a beating. Since the person in question is 56 yo woman, I think I'd get to dish out the beating rather than take one 🙂
"Authorities say they soaked him with dirty mop water. Pelted him with dodgeballs. Made him endlessly mop bathroom floors, climb high school stairs, sit in soiled pants and fall from his chair."
Dodgeball is a lousy game

Soiled pants without diapers can happen anytime, due to illness or teachers who are so damn frightening to children that the children are too scared to ask to be excused.
I do agree that these students do not belong in Gummint Skoolz, but only because I think all students need to be the Hell away from Gummint Skoolz!
To give you an idea of how schizzy and messed up Gummint Skoolz were in my time, a preteen saying four-letter words would be sent to some reform school or shot up with Ritalin, yet my Fourth Grade Teacher pressured us kids to watch Scared Straight on broadcast TV shortly before bedtime, with all of its profanities and obscenities and violent imagery!
Scared Straight!–Prison (1978)
https://youtu.be/5U555p1L80o
And we were all pressured into saying prayers and singing hymns every morning (all this after the O’Hair vs. Texas ruling) and to recite The Pledge of Allegiance and sing “Freedom Isn’t Free” from the musical Up With People in school presentations without ever being taught what the meanings of these words even were!
Freedom Isn’t Free

It took a lot of philosophical and Libertarian reading as a teen for me to overcome that cognitive dissonance, rote parroting, and brainwashing, and it still takes mental exercise for me to avoid it, but I think I succeeded and I think no kid should have to undergo that 12-year-long mentally damaging ordeal.
"and the two paraeducators who work in her classroom . . . "
Are those the ones who skydive into classrooms when the teacher discovers a boy who still thinks he is a boy?
I think “two pairofeducators” was just an editing thing. Department of Redundancy Department. Or maybe emphasis that there were in fact two (2) of them.
No, with the 'professionalization' of teaching they've split themselves into 'fully accreditef' and 'capable of independent work' and 'parateachers' - under the supervision of a 'professional teacher'.
Similar to paralegals. Because teaching has so much detail and paperwork that you don't want to waste a 'fully certified professional' on it.
Punchline from a Lewis Grizzard joke:
"It's a trick, General Sherman! There's two of them!"
🙂
If full-fledged teachers can be abusive, imagine how abusive half-assed "para teachers" are.
Paraeducators Option:
Forces/Equipment Committed: If the paraeducators went in, they would send in no less than two personnel and as many as one for every 5 children under the supervision of an actual special educator regardless of the total number of children or disability. Due to the nature of their mission, they would be allotted the amount spent by your average Ranger Company and complain that they didn't have the budget of the SF Team too.
Mission Preparation: The administration and special educators would double-check and argue work experience and CE certificates until the candidate pool had been winnowed to equivocation, and then choose the ones who were the "acceptable kind of firm" with "the right kind of corrective actions".
Infiltration Technique: The team would insist on separate travel orders with Max Per Diem, and each would get to the site of the
hijackingkidnappingclassroom by their own means. At least one third of the team would insist on jumping in HALO.Actions in the Objective Area: Once they arrived , the SE Team would hang flags and banners announcing their intent, insist that they're underfunded, check out the situation by talking to the locals and filing complaints against any who failed to use the proper pronouns, and have a Team Meeting to discuss the merits of numerous intersectional causes unrelated to educating students or caring for people with special needs.
Results of Operation: The Rescue/Recovery Operation would, technically, never complete and by that time all of the wrong thinkers would've bred more wrongthinkers and died, (and some would have left signed confessions); the students would be ruined psychologically for the remainder of their lives; and all of the male students would be pregnant. The classroom would be essentially unharmed, the team would have taken no casualties but would have used up, lost, or stolen all the "necessary special education" equipment issued to them.
candidates for the lamppost. nonviolently of course, tomatoes and the like. maybe dodgeballs and wrenches.

And climbing stairs. Must climb stairs. Maybe, all of them, like at the Empire State Building?
I like it. nothing tall enough in Nebraska to suffice.
Making money online is more than $15k just by doing simple work from home. I received $18376 last month. It's an easy and simple job to do and its earnings are much better than regular office jobs and even a little child can do this and earn money. Everybody must try this job by just use the info on this page..... http://Www.workstar24.com
Make them try to walk up the down escalator (while you secretly and slowly ramp up the speed of the escalator).
"Make them try to walk up the down escalator (while you secretly and slowly ramp up the speed of the escalator)."
I like it, though it might be deemed "cruel and unusual punishment."
Not if we can find enough people to sentence to such a punishment! that ishow the subcommittee decisionmaking is done, right?
How do you nonviolently lamppost? Throw spaghetti at Mussolini and see if it sticks? 🙂
upside down people can learn their lesson without bullets.
Commie-Education blessings just keep on coming.
