Teacher instructed students to hit bully

[MissusTexas]

Take that, bully!

SAN ANTONIO - Two teachers in South Texas have been put on administrative leave after more than 20 students allegedly hit a boy accused of being a bully.

Prosecutors in San Antonio are reviewing allegations that a teacher in the Judson Independent School District ordered students to slug the 6-year-old boy to teach him a lesson.

A police report says one elementary teacher last month approached another to help control the boy. The second teacher allegedly placed the boy before other kindergarten students and said "hit him." The first teacher eventually stopped the punishment and later reported the incident.

The boy's mother says as many as two dozen students struck her son.

A Judson spokesman says the first teacher has been reprimanded and the second teacher won't be rehired.

I'd be pissed if my kid were an asshole too.

More than 20 kids took turns? Damn, that kid must have gotten a good ass beating!

Wow. I'm not sure what to think of this. On one hand, the bully got what he deserved. On the other, it doesn't sit well with me that a teacher encouraged several children to gang up on him and hit him.

I think 6 year olds are a bit young for this, but if they were middle schoolers or something I'd be all for it!

Although part of me thinks it's good that the bully got a taste of his own medicine, wow, what a dumbass move on the part of the teacher.

I can't imagine how bad that kid must have been if the teacher was willing to resort to that AND all those kids wanted to hit him too.

Imagining kids that age lining up to do anything is pretty difficult, so they must have really hated him!

I have to agree with you. While teachers may secretly think that he got what he deserved, it is wrong to orchestrate it.
