What the hell is wrong with people?

BONITA SPRINGS, Fla. -- After a 5-year-old girl got sick in the bathroom of her kindergarten class, the teacher made her don rubber gloves and manually remove a clog from the toilet, according to a lawsuit filed by the girl's mother.

Lori Januska sued Bonita Springs Charter School this week after she said her 5-year-old daughter, Heather, clogged the toilet Sept. 22 and her teacher made her remove it as the entire class watched.

1. Meanness... pure and simple..

I guess the "teacher" wanted to give the child a lesson in personal responsibilty. Geez, people are going nuts!

[Calico Jack Rackham]

3. Someone ought to give the teacher a "Swirly",

Kids get sick, thats why schools have custodians. What a biaatch!

[iconoclastNYC]

2. That poor little girl

IF this is true that teacher should have a forced career change.

4. B...but Jeb! has done so much to improve Florida's education...

18. See #17

That's Jeb's protege.

5. I wonder how they got the whole class into a bathroom stall

7. That is unbelievable!

In the article they used the excuse that the teacher was poorly trained. POORLY TRAINED? No emotionally stable adult would do such a thing to a child.

9. Adults suck

Disapline the adults for being children.
Adults should know better but they do not when they act like schoolyard bullies themselves. I wish kids had more rights and didn't hasver to rely on sometimes asshole parents for help fighting other asdshole adults..

8. F**kin sick

Seems like most of the really twisted stuff nowadays is coming from Florida. Of course, living in Tx, I can't throw stones...:mad:

[WI_DEM]

11. Florida!! again.

But seriously, that teacher should be severely disciplined.

[Bouncy Ball]

12. I rarely ever feel ashamed of children

but damn if adults don't make me sick and ashamed constantly.

I am NOT a violent person, but I wanted to do violent things to that teacher after reading that.

BITCH.

13. Charter School...Hmmm....

Wonder if it's a Fundie school? Ya think?

[sandnsea]

19. It's a corporate school

See 17

14. This is one of the many problems with charter schools,

the relaxation of the rules that public schools are under means that too many of their teachers and staff don't know what the hell they're doing and the lack of the kind of accountability public schools are under makes it even harder to do anything about it.

15. WTF??????????????

LADY!!!! It's called a

PLUNGER!

:grr: :nuke:

16. When my friend was in kindergarden....

she wouldn't stop talking in class so the teacher made her stand on a desk in front of the entire class, pull down her pants, and spanked her. Her mother was a ball of fiery and rage (for good reason of course). I don't recall hearing about a lawsuit, but her mom certainly got the teacher fired very quickly. People could hear her screaming at both the Principle and teacher from down the hall.

I have memories of kids getting slapped around in my pre-school and my second grade teacher would threaten to put us over her knee if we misbehaved. My pre-school was eventually shut down for child abuse. It's a crazy, scary world out there and for some lucky unknown reason, I've never been abused by anyone.

22. When I was 4...

My teacher sometimes used to beat me and the other kids with a two foot stick. I became so afraid of adults after these experiences
that my mom had to see the headmaster and have me put under the
care of a different teacher. That was back in '78.

[Fleshdancer]

25. I am so sorry to hear that

I would be scared of adults too if that happened to me. What an asshole.

17. Heritage & Jeb Bush protege

"Jonathan Hage, a former Heritage Foundation researcher and political protege of Gov. Jeb Bush, has turned Florida's charter school program into a growing for-profit business empire. Five years after borrowing $5,000 to start up Charter Schools USA, Hage took in $40-million last year -- almost all of it from the government....

The governor refused to answer questions from Fischer, which is particularly odd, given that this new charter school explosion is in large part Bush's creation. Hage himself said as much: "It was first Jeb Bush's idea, not mine, to promote charters in Florida. . . . Quite honestly, I wasn't that familiar with charter schools."

We need to find out who the investors are.

20. That's just meanness

I remember back in elementary school a couple of times a kid would vomit on the carpet. Was that child ever made to clean it up? NO. That's why there's janitors. They would come and clean it up and sprinkle that white powder on it.

For God sakes, it was a 5 year old child. People get sick. Why wasn't that child in the nurses office since she had thrown up?

Just disgusting.

[_TJ_]

21. What a BITCH!

If I'd been the kids father I'd have stuck the cow's head
down the same toilet :mad:

[fooj]

23. Get that teacher the hell away from a classroom!

WTF?


Peace.

[Tsiyu]

24. Spare the toilet scrubber, spoil the child

You pagan scum. Don't you realize that not making five-year-olds clean up their vomit is one of the leading reasons our kids are so screwed up today ? "Verily," it sayeth in the bible, "treateth thy young people like shit, for thereby thou wilt make them cower into submission and they wilt thereafter and always until eternity vote Republican."

Or something like that.

Besides this is good training for when we relax the child labor laws. Next year, Mommy and Daddy may have to put her to work and she now has a job skill.

26. It says the poor child has an incurable gastrointestinal condition

As if that's not hard enough for a 5 year old to try and deal with, she is humiliated in front of her peers.

The "teacher" should never be allowed in a situation where she's responsible for the well being of a child again.
