What can be done about this teacher?

I am in shock! I am a teacher not in TUSD....and she should be placed IMMEDIATELY on leave by her administrator (thats what they have done in cases where a teacher was accused of a sexual crime-like in MBUSD when a teacher was eventually found not-guilty...they immediately suspend the teacher with pay DURING the investigation)...EVEN IF The district has to pay her due to union agreements and due process.... I think you should call the Daily Breeze...this is WHY we need CHANGE in TUSD... this is archaic... I cannot beleive this is happening in our local schools. I am so sorry for the parents and children that had to endure this pycho.!!

You might not have any recourse at all simply because your children are not the teacher's students any longer. If you can find out if the child was really slapped, and if you can find out who her parents are, you can join with them to complain to the school board and to threaten legal action as well. The parents of the assaulted child can prefer charges. They can call the police, and the teacher, I was one for many years, can be arrested, lose her job and her teaching credential. And, she should.

I had one of those teachers in elementary school, fifth grade, and I taught with one. They need to do something else for their own good, but especially for the students' good.

By the way, tenure is granted by state law, not teachers' unions. It was originally instituted to keep districts from hiring a young teacher and keeping him for a couple of years then letting him go so they could hire a younger, cheaper, teacher to take his place. Tenure should not protect an incompetent teacher or a teacher who in any way abuses her/his students.

Such behavior and it has not come to the notice of the authorities?I feel all parents should get together if there is parents union and sure something could be done .U are right call up the newspapers, tv show if u could manage and talk about it .Once its out to the media surely a reputed school ill take action.Hope things fall in to place.

Do all of the above! That is horrible and it makes me sad to think of the children who go to learn and instead have to be scared of their teacher. When I was in first grade I had a teacher who would knock over desks and throw things when she got upset, she would make someone cry everyday, she would walk by your desk and if she got mad at you she would knock it over while you were sitting by it...I was terrified of this woman and my stomach was in knots every day, Im 28 now and I still remember her like it was yesterday...what that woman did was assault and your damn right she should be in jail. I would call the news an whoever else and humiliate her like she has been doing to those kids

I can't believe that teacher still works there! If you get no satisfaction from the principal or superintendent, definitely call the most respected news station in your town. Good luck.

OMG THAT IS HORRIBLE. This woman should not be working around children. Please make sure you make that statement. In what city does this witch teach in? Good luck

Complain about her and DEMAND (yes, demand) something be done about her behaviour.
