Lawsuit: Teacher Makes Girl Unclog Toilet

Toilet Unclog Girl Teacher Lawsuit

Obviously this teacher has some issues and not only needs to be disciplined but let go. Why in the world would you put a kindergarten student through something like this? It's not like she is a teenager and stuffed a roll of toilet paper down the toilet. She is 5 years old and got sick for crying out loud! I don't see that the school has a chance in this case, and unfortunately for them, they will face the brunt of the lawsuit since they hired this person to begin with.

I really hope that this woman is not in the educational system anymore although the article does not mention such a thing then I presume she probably was suspended for a couple of weeks and then placed in another school to continue doing things like that because let me tell you something, a person who behaves that way with a 5 years old means that it is not the first time she has ever done such a thing and it won't be the last time either. I wish they could have said what the punishment was.

The article also says that the little girl has an incurable gastrointestinal condition so she probably gets sick a lot. How sad for her to be treated so harshly! It's something that little girl will never forget in her whole life.

I don't understand why people like that teacher even choose teaching as a career option, when it seems to me that there isn't any compassion for children in their behavior.

Offtopic but, It's also unfortunate that this happened at a Charter School -- these are struggling to develop alternatives to public school and they are fighting against the "establishment" of Unified School Districts. This event will make things harder.
