Teacher Fired For Beating Down Child In Class [Video]

» by tffhthewriter May 13, 2010, 10:59am

A Houston teacher has been fired after allegations were reported that she physically assaulted a student in her classroom.

According to officials, science teacher Shari Lynn Davis beat and kicked a 13-year-old student in front of his classmates on April 29 after he attacked a female classmate.

Davis states that she “lost it” after 13-year-old Isaiah Johnson made fun of and allegedly hit a mentally challenged student in her class.

Records indicate that after the initial report was filed by the student's mother, Davis was terminated but no charges were filed until now.

After two weeks, a student leaked the raw footage that was taped using a cell phone during the horrific incident, on the internet. The video taped evidence is exactly what police needed to file formal charges against the teacher.

In addition, the School administrator's are now looking into the claim that other teachers were present during the fight and did not report it. A letter was also sent to all the student's parents or guardians that read:

Dear Parents and/or Guardians:

 

There has recently been an allegation of a teacher physically assaulting a child at our school.

 

The incident involved a science teacher and an 8th grade student. It occurred on or about April 29. No other children were involved.

 

Our school takes all such incidents very seriously and immediate action was taken to safeguard our students. When the allegation was first brought to the school's attention, the accused teacher was immediately removed from the class room and assigned administrative duties. After a thorough investigation, the teacher involved in the incident has been terminated by the school. Further, if any teacher is found to have witnessed the incident and failed to take appropriate action to safeguard the student, disciplinary action against that teacher will be taken.

 

Educators are entrusted by parents with their children every day and we have a responsibility to see that they are not only taught but treated with respect. This incident violates every principle by which we operate Jamie's House Charter School and we will continue to work hard to earn your confidence in us.

 

Yours sincerely

 

David Jones, Principal

 

SMDH, what is the deal with the adults fighting kids? I know the kids today can seem a little rough, but as adults we should know better. What would you do if this was your child? Let us know.

Peep the video:

    I hate she lost her job over this...but now his little punk azz gets to play victim and his good for nothing mama can sue the school system for damages to her baby...lil ma fugga...ain't grow up to shyt...

    • saphyre09

      YEA!!!! Thanks teacher for kicking his azz!!!! We all know the mother doesn't believe he deserved it.... It's a shame she lost her job, but I would hire her in a heartbeat at my school. Most of the the kids today are tyrants and need more azz kickings like this at home!!!!

      The mother of the disabled child should seek legal and civil actions against the mother and the kid....

      • Pachonette Mitchell

        I agree fully that this lil buzzard needed his A$$ kicked for so many reasons, first being if you're big enough to p***** a lick, your big enough to get one back. Next not only is he a boy picking on a girl he chose one with a severe disadvantage. Some lessons are learned early in life, this one his mom should have started teaching as early as five yrs old, NO man or boy should EVER HIT A WOMAN OR GIRL!!! The consequences could and should be GRAVE... He's lucky it was the teacher, my sons would have done drastically more damage had it been their sisters, for real.

  • darealwifey

    A friend of mine is a teacher in inner cities, and the stories she has about how bad these kids are is unthinkable. Parents no longer discipline their kids or teach them basic, common sense. Teachers are virtually powerless. The way this teacher snapped is not the answer, but corporal punishment might be. When I was a kid, if you acted out, the teacher or prin*****l could paddle you, and I never saw a kid get paddled for no reason. Bring back the wooden stick. I understand not physically abusing kids, but there is a difference between reasonable discipline and abuse. We are seeing the horrid results of a generation raised without physical consequences, and it ain't pretty. WHOOP THESE KIDS' *****ES!

  • ReJeanne

    I think it was Great on so many levels.. We need more of this.. little ***** should not have been fighting little girls and a mentally challenged one at that..If the boy was my child he would have gotten a second a$$ kickin when he got home..

  • pink

    I bet you he wont hit another girl, good for his lil bad tail, I would have done the same thing, his mother probably can't control his lil bad tail who knows. Children act one way in front of the parent & be different in the streets. Thats what wrong with children now a days no school disapline I got it growin up in school & at home & Im still alive & I have respect for others & so do my children & they're grown & I will beat they A**!!!! right not today & they still love me & have respect for others.

    I feel for the teacher I hope she gets another job keep your head up it will work out.

  • Roe ski Love

    Yeah, she beat his little A$$. These kids are out of control these days. Unfortunatley she lost her job over this incedent. But somehow I think that the little boy may have learned his lesson about putting his hands on females. I really dont think that she was a teacher though. I am basing this theory on the way that she was dressed. She probably was a teachers aide, who just didn't give a ***** about losing her job in order to set this little baby thug straightened out. His mother sueing the school is going to do the little boy more harm than good in the long run. The teachers aide was wrong for throwing blows at him, instead of restraining him with full force. She should have put him in a full nelson until he cried like a girl, then let him go tell mama.

  • autumn

    I am also very saddened that the teacher lost her job over this. As far as the boy goes he has no business putting his hands on anyone. School administration often can do nothing but suspend the kid for 2 days (ohhh what a punishment). I wish the best for the teacher. As a parent I would not file charges if my offspring thought it was best to hit a mentally challenged student. Bring the paddle back.

  • Pizzle

    2 Wrongs dont make a right, but thats what his lil a** gets!! i aint mad at sister girl! and if it was my son that did that BS, he wouldve got his a** kicked again when he got home & no way would i hav pressed charges!!

  • Ms_Inconspicuous

    I'm not a teacher, but I can relate to her frustration. I sat on the School Advisory Coucil for the last three years and I am embarrased that I was the only African American parent that actually showed up to meetings in a 50% African American Middle School. Parents in FL are bringing their kids to the schools to fight and inivitably jump into to these fights. The days have p*****ed where these kids have any respect for elders in the community and @ school and parents make it worse by being angry because the teacher called you child out in cl***** and embar*****ed them now you want to get in the teacher's face. Teachers are frustrated by their little pay and heap of responsibilities and either the quit or they react in this manner. Had she taught her child not to pick on those that are different and to be respectful to everyone she wouldn't have this problem.

  • Damn D

    @ roe ski love

    U! shut the f.u.c.k ! Becuz ive worked in the school district with the same age group as this teacher for 5yrs. An the kids are horrible. Teachers hav to play the parent role as well as teacher. Becuz parent lik u dont kno how to train ur kids. so b4 u judge this teacher! check that kid background. And i bet u... his is a troublemaker. He shouldnt hav hit that student.

  • Damn D

    I meant @Danielle Johnson..... sorry Roe ski Love

  • Skoopes

    I can hardly believe my eyes while reading these responses. So because a kid misbehaves, he deserves to be beaten down like an animal? Are you kidding? He didn't hit the girl, he along with others, laughed at the girl. So for laughing you get beat down? Since when doesn't a teacher follow protocol and march the child to the office so his parents can pick him up or sending him to an alternative school? And forget the "inner city' nonsense, kids are kids, everywhere. Some kids get unruly true, even in the suburbs, but there are rules for teacher's to follow. I cannot fathom how grown people can condomn the beating of a minor, in any capacity. And as you can see on the video, the kid is defenseless!!!! And there are other teachers watching as you can see on the video. I am sorry to the teachers and whomever that feel this is acceptable. If the kids are too much for you and you might "lose it", LEAVE THE SCHOOL SYSTEM, because you are putting our children at risk. And some of you have the nerve to talk about disciplining kids with this mentality. I look forward to seeing all of you ignoramuses in court someday.

    • Dallas Doll

      While I don't condon what rhe teacher did... I can't say I blame her. The problem with these kids are that you have some parents (as does some of the ones that have commented on this site) that think a child cannot receive corporal punishment after a certain age - which is beyond me. Yes,this teacher took it a bit further. However, he deserved to get his tail whipped. It should never be okay to tease, bully, or talk about a mentally disabled student!!! Obviously this little boy had not been taught that a home. I have a feeling this wasnt an isolated incident with this little boy either. Kudos to the teacher for the disciplinary actions!!!

  • shashapretty

    That was wild! She's straight hitting him like he grown. He didn't need all of that to teach the lesson not to hit girls. When it comes to children, you don't combat violence with violence. From early on children are taught that two wrongs don't make a right. All you gotta do is yank them up real good and escort them to the prin*****ls office...I was a substitute for 3 years for middle and high school so I understand how the kids can be rude. disrespectful, and sometimes aggressive. A good grip and a stern command to behave works. Hey, even the old skool stand in the corner and face the wall is humiliating enough to get them to calm down....I'm just saying.

  • BEAUTYSPEAKS

    I agree wit skoopes. that was a kid....no grown A$$ person should beat a kid like that. especially just because he hit a girl. i'm sorry but that is NOTHING new....somebody should have stopped her because it was obvious that lil boy wasn't a threat to her (the teacher). and i guarantee if somebody beat YOUR child like that, you'd be up at the school ready to sue too.

  • scorpio

    he shoulda got his A$$ whooped!! I wish all the teachers could do that to all the lil bad a.s.ses disrupting the cl*****es. Then the kids that wanna learn can. Smdh.....

  • Jamaquina.Cubana

    @ ReJeanne 5/13/10, 12:07:pm

    But wasn't that the way back in the day!? If someone....neighber, teacher, auntie, stranger....told your parent that you were in the street acting a fool, you got punished for it!
    Nowadays, parents are too busy being their child's friend!
    That's what they go to school for...to learn and evidently make friends.
    I'm sorry, I refuse to cower before my child or have them beat/murder me in MY sleep - they are getting "lycks" when they're bad! I refuse to have no 'nightmares' in my name running around in the street!

  • Jamaquina.Cubana

    @ by Skoopes 5/13/10, 13:04:pm

    Right! B/c it will be YOUR kid walking around with weapons/drugs/whatever, antagonizing everyone else's kid and then get "beat down" by ME, an adult, for not tolerating the bullshyit behaviour you allowed that child to grow with.
    Bring it on b/c I will be there waiting with my countersuit!

  • ssquared

    Yea, Danielle
    Shut up! I bet you the heifa that don't have any kids, let alone have kids that get picked on by little bad behind kids like this. I want to know where is the petition to keep this woman out of jail. Why the hell are we protecting these bad little MFs. I hope to God that this mother realizes that she had a bad butt little punk and will embrace this woman oppose to seeing her in more trouble.

  • Crusader12

    Bottom Line, if your not a teacher like am, and some of the other people that have commented on this subject, it's easy for you to sit back and criticize and give your 2 cents. Try being a teacher for a while, then tell me what you think.

  • Nunya

    If that were my son I would whoop him for hitting a girl I'd also whoop the teachers as$ for putting her hands on my son. She want to act like a man she'll get her as$ whooped like a man.

  • ssquared

    @ by the hood

    Quit you dang job and take care of yo own bad @ss kid. Glorified or not, she's taking care of yo bad behind child. It's because stupid @ss parents like you these kid are so bad. If you aren't going to be the solution and you talking about shooting someone who is helping yo ignorant behind, keep you bad behind kids at home with you. Lame bytch. And you still in the hood??? No doubt working at McDonald's. Got a job where when the school calls you to come get that lil b a s t a r d, you can leave without a problem, huh?

  • dsatt25

    It never said he hit the little girl only that he made fun of her. I agree kids these days are totally out of control and need to be disciplined, but that was still no right for the teacher to put her hands on the child like that.

  • lean & curvy

    She didn't beat him bad enough in my opinion. I bet that kid is probably an a$$hole, and that teacher has probably been hit by a man before and lost control. Both need counseling and prayer.....most folks in this country do.

  • GreeneyedBandit

    Im reading alot of comments on people praisin what this child abusin Beyotch did! What would u do if that was your child? If what she did was right,then why did that Beyotch get fired?

  • jjvg

    These children today are out of contol!!! Parents are to afraid to whip their a**es when they need it at home. I say discpline is a wonderful thing.. Teach your children to respect and obey at thome and teachers won't need to do your job at school

  • PAGANA

    Well, since parents seem to be too preoccupied to raise and teach their children to respect themselves and others, the leave it up to others, somebody's gotta do it!

  • alexis

    I think he won't be hitting girls anytime soon lol, so maybe thats's a good thing.he was probably scared, but the girl was probably scared too when the student *****aulted her! bullying is big in schools today and parents are either to busy or ignorant to discipline their own kids. She had a right to be angry with the student and there should have a no hitting rule for the school, but children shouldn't have to be *****aulted by teachers or anybody else in school!

  • Michele

    Yeah two wrongs don't make a right but as a mother I would have beaten the crap outta my kid if they did something like that. Whatever happened to It Takes a Village to Raise a Child..and that also means disciplining them as well. Too many kids in this world are outta control...someone needs to make a stand. Too bad this teacher cared enough to put a stop to his abusive ways towards another human being. His mama most likely don't give a damn herself.

  • megafly

    I am not mad at the teacher. If more teachers would stand up to bullying it would stop.

  • Octavia Jones

    I think its good that the teacher taught him a lesson. However it would have made it that much better had it been a student to do it because the teacher would not have lost her job. Children today have issues, they think they can beat everybody's a$$ and its not the case. She showed him. Its just unfortunate that it cost her her job. Oh, and by the way, if they find her guilty in court, its over for her, because they are not going to take into consideration that little bad a$$es actions.

  • Z

    If I ran a school, I would hire this woman. That kid probably learned more from this incident than he ever will with some other teacher that just ignores him when he hits another student.

  • Students can be a handful!

    I truly feel sorry for this teacher. Can any of you imagine what would have to occur on your job to make you lose it in this manner? I hope that she will be able to obtain the help that she needs to be a better person. As for the student, although I hate to admit it, he probably deserved some type of punishment and sometimes you have to make the "punishment" fit the "crime." Perhaps this teacher had tried and tried and tried to make this student behave and he still chose to be mean and abusive to the little girl. So let's look at this student's past and see if he can also get the help that he needs.

  • MsSoulful

    Look I don't condone violence nor do I believe this woman used her best judgment, however I understand the frustrations many teachers have with today's children. There has been a complete and utter breakdown of the nuclear family which has resulted in a generation of parents and children who seem to think that they can do no wrong. These children don't need to be whipped they need and equilibrium of love and discipline. That balance has been thrown off and what you see today is kids who have been disciplined w/o an understanding of what they did and why they were being disciplined and they act out because of it. On the flip side you also see kids who are given anything and everything they want, and as a result of this they have a false sense of entitlement and think that no one and nothing can tell them what to do; so they act out. Add to this drug problems,lack of parental concern and dysfunctional families. Now you have a recipe for disaster.

    Somehow someway we have to get back to spending time with our children and teaching them how to respect themselves and others. Its time for parents to recognize that its not just other people's kids its your kids too. Recognize that children who don't know how to treat other people will be set up for failure. While corporal punishment may work if used appropriately we as people need to take more time to be with our kids and teach them what they need to know to be successful adults.

  • Carmen

    I am a teacher and I do understand when you "lose it." It is like seeing red - nothing else matters and you almost don't remember what actually happens. These students need discipline far and beyond the school. Just listening to the laughter from the students whatever happened prior to that was laughable - she lost control over everyone. The student clearly became the victim although she was making a point. She clearly said to this young man hit a woman - do me like you did her and he still thought it was hilarious. I hate to see her lose her job she just might become the next Joe Clark. I know corporal punishment wked for my generation although it wasn't legal it worked. And parents respected a teacher's decision, response or reaction to our negative behaviors. This is unfortunate for he teacher because that knucklehead is still going to be in somebodys school taunting other. The mother of the handicapped student should seek allegations on him for taunting her! How bout that!

  • Chi_Cay

    OK ALL THESE GROWN FOLKS ARE SAYIN SOME GOOD THINGS BUT, THE ISSUE IS SHE IS NOT ABOVE THE LAW. HOW COULD YOU CONDONE THIS TYPE OF BEHAVIOR FROM AN ADULT? THE ANSWER IS CALL THE COPS, AND SEND HIS AS* OUTTA THAT SCHOOL TO JUVIE. NOW THIS TEACHER CANT HELP ANYMORE KIDS BECAUSE SHE TOOK THE WRONG COURSE OF ACTION. WE HAVE TO THINK BEFORE WE ACT, ISNT THAT WHAT WE ARE SUPOPOSED TO BE TEACHING THESE CHILDREN. DID YOU NOTICE SHE COULD HAVE BROKEN HIS NECK BY BANGING HIS HEAD AGAINST THE WALL WITH HIS NECK TWISTED. COME ON YA''LL NEED TO QUIT CAUSE ALL OF US HAS ACTED OUT AT SOME POINT IN SCHOOL, I DID AND I AM A COLLEGE GRAD WITH NO RECORD. AND YES MY MAMA DID NOT PLAY. STOP CONDONING THIS FOLKS, NOT COOL :(

  • nikki

    I dont see anything wrong wit fightin kids.... this aint nothin new to me my cousins & their momma fight like that all the time & somebody called the police & the police saw how my cousins are & they continued to let the mom beat them up but it is wrong for her because she is a teacher unless she was defending herself.

  • lovelytt

    we are parents we put trust in these teACHERS TO TAKE CARE OF OUR CHILDREN WHILE WERE WORKING AND TEACH THEM NOT BEAT THEM SOME GROWN UPS DONT REALIZE THE EFFECT IT HAS ON OUR CHILDREN WE HAVE KIDS WHO COMMIT SUICIDE DUE TO THE OUTCOME OF OTHER STUDENTS WATCHING WHILE GETTING THEIR A$$ BEAT BY A PERSON WE PUT OUR TRUST IN.IF WE AS THE PARENTS CAN NOT DO IT WHAT MAKES THE TEACHERS FEEL AS THOUGH THEY CAN LETS PROTECT OUR CHILDREN FROM THESE TEACHERS THAT ARE HIRED BY OUR SCHOOL BOARDS WITH OUT DOING A 15 YR BACKGROUND CHECK.OUR CHILDREN ARE A GIFT FROM GOD WE AS THE PARENTS ARE THE CAREGIVERS.WE ARE ALL CHOSEN TO TAKE CARE OF GODS CHILDREN,TEACH THEM,THEIRS ALWAYS A BETTER WAY TO HANDLE THINGS

  • dawn roy

    BEAT THAT A$$...he probably hasn't been beat before....This will teach him a lesson....

  • NUTZ&HONEY

    @ Daneille Johnson
    I bet you saying that cuz your "bad a z z" kid told you too.
    I bet your kid kick ur a z z on a daily bases.

  • Jennifer

    The incident involved a science teacher and an 8th grade student. It occurred on or about April 29. No other children were involved.

    Oh really, no other students were involved? What about the mentally disabled girl who was bullied and *****aulted by this boy? If I were her mom I would be suing the school and the boy's mom for the bullying and civil rights violation. He was torturing her because she is different and his irresponisible parents have not taught him to treat others with respect. I have 2 disabled children and if they are bullied I will not stop until justice is served. I do not condone what this teacher did to stop the boy, but at least someone stopped him.

  • Mi Mi

    I would beat my child a 2nd time when he got home and mke him write an apology letter to be published by the school.

    As far as the teacher, she should have had more restraint and never touched the boy. She could have given him a good scare without all of that. But I can't say I'm mad at her.

    My best friend is a teacher and hearing how disrespectful these rugrats are, it makes me sooo angry. I totally blame the parents for putting teachers in these situations to begin with.

  • HeadLineZ

    i bet we wont beat up on girls anymore. im just saying...

  • Monique

    Ok! I was watching this while I was working out at the Gym and I was furious to see that the teacher was beating this child in this manner. Yet it did come to mind to ask myself, "Okay what did this little beast do"? However without knowing the full story I couldn't p***** judgement on her!! Once I heard the story, I felt the teacher pain cause I to would have choked the sh-t outta that little mickey fickey!! Kids these days can't spell respect let alone have the knowledge to understand what it is!! Okay maybe she went a little to far and she should have had more discipline and she should have did this and did that, but mind you the momma ain't obviously disciplining the boy nor teaching him any f-ckin morals!! From the looks of the video she just felt that little f-cka needed to be taught a lesson. So she kicked his a--!! You think thats bad, imagine what the LAW gone do to him!! Oh yea that was bad, but once he hit that penitentary and them cells lock then what!! All in all he gone get f-cked up!!!

  • Dizzy

    Yall need to chill out with the curse filter....lol...... cl*****, embar*****ed, **********ination, surp*****ed, and s***** are not naughty words

  • MAXny

    Some kicks really need a butt kickin.

  • anon

    As a teacher, I must say that there is a lack of respect for teachers by students and parents. When I was in school, I was punished if a teacher called my home due to behavior or lack of academic progress. When you call parents now, they get angry with you and defensive. You can get defensive all you want, but you better pay close attention to your child and the warning signals. I have seen children with severe behavioral problems beaten up BADLY by cl*****mates. If you do not discipline your children someone else will and they won't love them like you do.

  • LezBianBomb

    Sad Situation... but the teacher from the back in a hottie lol

  • MemphisMadam

    looked like it was soft taps, the cl*****room was out of her control so inevitably she lost it..ans she popped him upside his head a couple of ...he LAUGHED the entire time. . .I dont think she should have gotten fired. . .HE should have been sent to the Prin*****l's Office beforehand..I mean WTF!! Now he's the victim when he's obviously a big fat bully.

  • Roy

    Call me crazy, but I think that a lot of the problems with kids in schools, especially boys, come from their lack of respect primarily towards women. The kids are not taught to respect women by their fathers, so they talk to their mothers any way that want, and once they go to school, this is transferred to the teachers. The teacher was not correct in hitting him, but if he was paying attention and behaving himself, this would have never been an issue....
