I’d really like to hear both sides of the story before we collectively get out pitchforks. It looks really bad. Maybe parents or the child actually requested this way of executing it? I don’t like how we demand someone be fired based on one video.

The aunt posted it on Facebook, upset.

This is an egregious act and there is absolutely no way this is an isolated incident. If she felt empowered to do this in front of the entire class and all of the families, how does she treat this child when there aren’t 25 families watching her every move? No. This is as awful as it looks but I can’t say I am surprised. This is a low skills area. That includes the educational professionals. I’ve seen it play out over and over and over. New Hampshire has shitty standards for professional conduct, weak training across industries, abysmal accreditation requirements for programs, completely neutered legal regs, and virtually no licensing oversight or random quality checks from state boards.

This is not a state where you can just blindly trust someone in their professional capacity to do their job well.

Education in America is underfunded and broken. I still don’t think this public has enough information to demand a teacher is fired. There will be inquiries by the school board and administration. Let’s wait and see.
