Parents Outraged: Teacher Allegedly Ordered Students to Take Turns Hitting Kindergarten ‘Bully’

Two Teachers as Las Salinas Elementary School Reprimanded After Allegedly Ordering 20 Kindergarteners to Hit Suspected Bully | Mother Amy Neely Describes Son Aiden | Steve Linscomb

(AP File Photo)

(The Blaze/AP) — A Texas teacher will lose her job after ordering more than 20 kindergartners to line up and hit a classmate accused of being a bully, a district spokesman said Friday.

The teacher at a suburban San Antonio school is accused of orchestrating the slugfest after a younger teaching colleague went to her last month seeking suggestions on how to discipline the 6-year-old, according to a police report from the Judson Independent School District.

Both teachers at Salinas Elementary have been placed on paid administrative leave, but the one who allegedly arranged the punishment will not work for the district next school year, district spokesman Steve Linscomb assured. Prosecutors are reviewing the allegations and will determine whether formal charges will be filed in 30 to 60 days.

The police report alleges the teacher chose to show the child “why bullying is bad” by instructing his peers to “Hit him!“ and ”Hit him harder!” 

It also states that the second teacher only intervened after one of the children hit the boy hard on his upper back, and she waited roughly two weeks to report it.

“Twenty-four of those kids hit him and he said that most of them hit him twice,” Amy Neely, the mother of 6-year-old Aiden, told KENS-TV.

Neely said her son is not a problem child and that this was the first she’d heard of teachers having issues with him. She said she wants to make sure the teacher who ordered the hitting does not work in a classroom again.

“She doesn’t need to be around any children,” Neely told the television station.

Watch the interview, via KENS5 below:

The mother added — and the police report confirmed — that some of Aiden‘s classroom friends told him they didn’t want to hit the boy, but did so because they were afraid not to.

Neely further remarked that she only learned about what happened to her son after the intervening teacher reported the incident two weeks later– her son kept the matter to himself. Neely filed an official oppression complaint against the teachers with the district police department earlier this week.

A message left by The Associated Press with Neely was not immediately returned Friday afternoon.

District officials have not released the names of either teacher, though they launched an official investigation May 18.  However, it was released that the teacher who asked for help disciplining the boy, but then waited to report the incident, was reprimanded.

Spokesman Linscomb explained: “This teacher is a relatively young teacher, and she just needs to be re-educated [and] reminded what needs to happen in the classroom, in order for it to be a safe learning environment.”

    My kids were fortunate, I was able to send them to a private prep school education, where the teachers were the parent’s employees.

    The teachers answered to the parents and if they did not tow the line and educate our children based upon priciples establish by the school and parent boards, the parents and adminstrators made sure they were asked to leave not next year, not next semester …. next week!

    Funny we lost very few teachers, but if they were bad they were gone..something to be said about pay for performance not tenue!

    When I sent my kids to public universities, I instructed them that their professors were their employees as well…since they paid tution..puts a total different light on education.

    Either teachers are public servants or employees in my eyes. Either way a teacher is working for the parents. I kinda like them being employees better!

    To close off the discussion, both of my kids are in their mid-20′s .. one is a marketing manager for a forture 10 company and the other just graduated from law school. Funny both children had no problem getting jobs in their field before graduating…what’s up OWS?

      and yet, the child will likely stop the bullying…
      Lessoned learned early, before the behavior gets bigger and more dangerous.

      Apparently the child didn’t get a full force beat down or his mommy would have known about when he got home.

      And he MUST have been guilty of bullying or he would have reported it himself…
      He was hoping it would pass quietly because he knew he DESERVED a whoopin when he got home, as well as what he got at school.

      Give the teacher a job at the TOP of the Board of education…

      My wife taught school for 32 years and she could tell which kids were going to break the law. In the 5th grade she got a big old bully that beat up his 4th grade teacher and she let this kid know that it wasn’t going to happen in her class. In the 10th grade this kid got arrested for breaking into a house and he fell thru the sheetrock while hideing from the police. In his senior year he shot and killed another kid. He said, ” He thought it was a toy gun.” The jury didn’t buy it and he is doing life in prison near Temple Texas.This teacher tried to save this kid, so the parents deserve this kid from hell that he will turn into.

      @Living In NYC;

      I work for a local State College as an adjunct, and i used to think the same way you did, that we should be accoutnable to students/parents and be treated as ‘employees’ because of tuition and stuff. I no longer hold that view after 7 years of working directly with students. Most students are great, but there is always a few (around 10%) who feel that becuase they paid tution and you are their ‘employee’ they have the right to treat you however they wish or demand A level grades with F level work. Unfortunatly, some of their parents are even worse.

      As such, i’ve had to rethink who i am working for…and i‘ve come to the conclusion it’s the public in general, and the local business comminitues in particular. It is local businesses that depend on me to teach my students well enough to KNOW the material their degree says they know. If not, then the student is considering ‘fraud’ by accepting employement they can not possibly do, and i am uneithical in taking money from my studetns (or Parents for Federal Government) and not delivering the education they need. I agree with you that i should be answerable to someone outside the ‘system’, but I don’t think it should always be students and parents. Ofcourse common sense should dictate, but i think sometimes we forget that the community at large also has a stake in the education of our children.

      I wish I could do that to the little twit that bullies my son. My son (white) has been going to the same magnet school (public curriculum, but smaller school) for 2 full years and both years this little twit (black) has been bullying him. I‘ve been the principal’s office I don’t know how many times. But they’re either afraid of her pulling the race card (there are only 2 black girls and one black boy in his class, and it’s about half hispanic). The last day of school he (without my permission) took his “stash” of money to school that he’s saving for a flat screen TV (he’s almost 13) to show his best friend (who incidently is Honduran). She walked by and said, “Give me $5!” He said no, so she scooped up all the change off the table and took it. He said give it back, and she threw it at his face. So he tapped her on the arm. She punched him twice in the stomach and once on the arm. Nothing came of it because she started it and there were lots of witnesses, so they chose to do nothing. I sent an email to the teacher and said if it happens next year, I’ll press assault charges on her. I also told my son when a “lady” hits a guy, she’s no longer a lady – pound the crap out of her and don’t stop until someone pulls you off of her. I told the teacher I wasn’t intimidated by her race. We’ll see how things go next year.

      I understand how you feel.I hadn’t been in a classroom in many years.Even I a student saw what you were describing.Virginia is a tough school district period.However we had at least one or two who became angry that those who were carrying A/s were actually doing A level work.They thought that their DF level work should have the same merit as those who actually earned the A.Most of the class though were adults and understood that if they failed it was because they didn’t know the material.Those one or two though, caused a change in the way the teacher handed back grades and I suspect in some of her teaching methods.She was a fantastic teacher.I just think she would have been even better if those one or two students hadn’t presented such a problem.It got so bad I ashamed to state my gradepoint average.I had a 4,0.I was afraid of what some of the others would say or do/My fear though wasn’t just from that.I‘ve got others who think I’m a brain dead ****** and will stop at nothing to prevent me from suceeding at anything.This came from a crime commited against me outside the school system.
      Like I’ve always said if a parent really wants their child to do well they will work with them even college age.They nor the teachers do anyone a favor by passing them when they haven’t earned it.The future employer will no doubt realize quickly the employee wasn’t trained or educated.At which point they will be fired.

      The children seem to be so privileged these days. Mothers let their children run around grocery stores like little banshee’s disregarding who they run into or obstruct. I’ve been knocked off my feet from children playing indoors (this was at a church and pastors child)

      How hard is it for mothers to tell their children they can’t run and play indoors? One little girl was climbing the end-cap store shelf with bottles of liquid on them. At the 3rd shelf I asked her to get down before she breaks something. The stupid mother standing nearby allowing this, became unglued and gave me hell. Of course, I returned it.

      The other day at a grocery store, a mother with 2 young girls about 7 & 9 let one spin a hula
      hoop and the other bounce & throw a beach ball. I had to get out of there before I said something. I can’t keep my mouth shut at the ignorance of parents who allow their children to do these things where they can so easily damage merchandise or hurt someone and I feel the same way about bullies. They learn all this stuff at home from ignorant parents who don’t care about others. Stores are so afraid of getting sued, they keep quiet.

      This sort of stuff happens and parents are the ones encouraging it by allowing it to happen. Then they wonder why their children grow up to be bullies or worthless and rude to everyone?

    In 5th grade I was being bullied by a kid a head taller and at least 20 lbs. greater than me. His buddies were egging him on for no good reason. One day on the way home from school they all showed up in front of me as I walked past his house. Poor boy started a fight with me, not knowing that I was taking boxing lessons from a friends dad. Poor boy lost his 2 front teeth that day. His parent called the police and my parents insurance company. Nothing to report there. He got silver caps as a replacement. Just by chance this poor boy was in a college music appreciation class with me and looked over and recognized me. He went ashen white, but I could still see the silver caps on his teeth. One of lifes memorable moments. hehe

    My 3rd grade teacher, principal’s wife, allowed a group of guys to gang up on bully. He never picked on us again. He ended up being in and out of prison and eventually committing suicide. No one else in my small hometown had a path like his.

    My father was a school principal back in the 70′s, and he had the ol’ “Board of Education” paddle in his office to gain the attention of youngsters like Aidan there who like to bully other children. One good whack and many a wayward child saw the light and strode the straight and narrow. It goes without saying that asking other children to inflict punishment on their classmates is at least ridiculous and possibly criminal, but what a shame that educators can’t still have the paddle in their tool belt for solving certain discipline matters.

I don’t want the state to think for a second that it is their responsibility to discipline MY child. Can’t you see? This is just another means for the state to destroy the relationship between child and parent. Think about it: they tell us what to feed our kids or they take them away, it’s getting harder and harder to set up homeschooling for your kids with state approval, and you can even get arrested if you spank your kids for throwing a tantrum in public.

      Your idea of the parents instilling discipline in their child is absolutely how it should go, but the children who have learned discipline from their parents aren’t the ones chronically getting into trouble at school. The ones getting in trouble are the kids who have parents who have abdicated their responsibilities as parents to train their children; the kids haven’t been taught respect, restraint, and responsibility. So the school is left holding the bag, so to speak. I realize that corporal punishment is no longer an acceptable form of restoring behavior in schools today, but sometimes I wonder if things might go a whole lot better if it was.

    most parents of bullys will defend their child because they are in denial, kids need to learn to stand up to the bully just keep standing and eventually the bully will stop. bully usually mimic the parents. teach your child basic fighting skills, I taught my nephew who was being bullied and he broke the bullies arm, methinks I taught him to well. but needless to say the bully nevered messed with him again. and the other kids told the truth about what happened so my nephew just got suspended for fighting, the boys parents come to find out both had criminal records with history of abuse. I got in more trouble than him for teaching him to defend himself.

      Think of it like cameras on police cars. Public school teachers, like police officers, are public servants; therefore, as a public servant it is only right that we are able to observe them in the execution of their duties. I don’t think this abdicates any responsibility at all. In fact, I think it would reinforce it. Because both the students and the teachers could be protected by it. A camera is unbiased and doesn’t forget. So yeah, I don’t mind having them in public schools because my tax dollars keep that school running so I should be able to see how those dollars are being spent. In your home is totally different because that isn’t in the public domain.

      Thoroughly agree!
      One of the many reasons our family has chosen to homeschool…the schools are far too secretive about what goes on behind those closed doors.
      It isn’t so much cell phones that freak out the schools…it is the cameras and video recorders contained within that scare them to death! (and all of the incriminating footage showing up on youtube!)

    I grew up in “Southie” South Boston in a cold water triple decker.
    Believe it or not we had bullies back then too.
    The bullies were never punished the wimps were – ie cry baby – sissy – weaklin etc.

    You can think what you wish…when schools were neighborhood entities and no one was forced to go out of their neighborhoods to go to school; and when their was some segregation…..the schools were much much better. The government forced inner-city trash to integrate into public schools in nice neighborhoods and you got ghetto ideas and morals in the clean, bright, suburban schools. Their presence dumbed down everyone and made everyone into thugs.

    As a perent I would be so infuriated it would be hard to control my actions and words. I would report this to the police and pursue it with the utmost diligence with a goal of acheiving the most severe punishment. The teacher should be arreasted on what I call third party assault. That is not how you deal with bullies. Especially of this age group. They need to explain to the boy what he was doing is wrong and punish him and talk to the parents. The teacher in this case istead taught each child that this is how you handle problems and by the way it is not!

      We are upset when teachers do nothing to prevent a child from being bullied. When they do we get them arrested. How is that a good message to send to kids? Don’t worry if you get bullied the teacher has more to worry about then you.

      The fact that this kid didn’t tell his parents tells you that he knew he was wrong. I believe as long as there were no injuries then there was actually no harm done. Doubt any of those kids will be future bullies. Violence isn’t always the answer but we need to combat bullies everywhere. Glad the kid isn’t hurt and his mom should give him a good talking to. I am sure he was hitting kids and hurting them in more ways than physical force.

      News Flash at that age the best form of punishment comes from the peers.Its called the school of hard knocks.When bullies learn that their targets won’t back down bow down they cease.They actually get whats coming to them.When they realize that there are consquences to actions they think twice.This is the most sensible answer I’ve seen in the school system in decades.Not only did the little brat get a very deserved azz whippen he got it from those whom he dished it to.Its a life learning process for him.not to mention quite catharic for his victims.No I guess you would like to see the little bully praised and his victims punished.Its what psedoliberals do.Why should I be surprised?

    There are SO many problems with public schools today that the whole system needs to be completely reformed, starting with getting rid of the Teacher’s Unions and Zero Tolerance policies. Those are the two biggest problems. Then we can move on to weeding out the administrators who have nothing to do with educating children, and reforming the curriculum so that the kids are being taught useful information, and not the crap they are being taught. We also need to end grade inflation and social promotion; if Johnny can’t read, can’t do math, etc., then he needs to be kept back, and promoted when he can. The teachers are screaming about wanting smaller class sizes, and I agree. There should be more segregation of the students into those that learn faster, and can advance quicker than other students. The slower students will get more attention and tutoring to help them learn. We also need to bring back vocational education to high schools. VocEd can also be started in Junior High/Middle School, to determine who would do better in a VocEd track, as opposed to a College Prep track.

    I guarantee you the kid that the teacher directed the beating of is white. Because Logically, if the teacher had directed a classroom to beat a black student, that would have been racist.

    And, if you watch enough TeeVee, you will learn that there is only one thing worse than racism.

      THIS IS WHAT A NATION WITHOUT GOD LOOKS LIKE. We simply have to reinstate GOD and the 10 Commandments back into our schools. We have to sit with all children and explain why people bully and how to deal with bullies and then we have to sit with bullies and explain to THEM why they bully and the consequences for doing so. This teacher needs to be removed for her lack of judgment and re-trained. A bully is usually a troubled person who needs help. We simply can not do this without GOD, people…we just can’t.

      Deuteronomy 21:18-21

      New International Version (NIV)
      A Rebellious Son

      18 If someone has a stubborn and rebellious son who does not obey his father and mother and will not listen to them when they discipline him, 19 his father and mother shall take hold of him and bring him to the elders at the gate of his town. 20 They shall say to the elders, “This son of ours is stubborn and rebellious. He will not obey us. He is a glutton and a drunkard.” 21 Then all the men of his town are to stone him to death. You must purge the evil from among you. All Israel will hear of it and be afraid.
      ===========
      There is a NEW COVENANT with GOD’S creations. It came in the form of JESUS CHRIST. Before the New (Testament) it said and meant that a child that was unruly, could not be controlled was
      evil, having been judged so by his own people, should be stoned to death, thus purging the evil among them. SO ?

    I wish we had more teachers like this. If a kid is a bully and beats on other kids, then he should learn first hand what his actions feel like and the kids that he hit should feel no remorse nor hesitate to hit him back. Sure, the bigger man is the man that doesn’t fight but solves his problems in another way, I get that. However, these are not men and women. These are children with undeveloped brains and limited capacity for reasoning. I’m sure some of them are pretty bright and their parents have encouraged them intellectually, but the reality is that most first graders are not capable of defending themselves through reasoning alone and no one wants to deal with having a bully in their classroom. So the best and easiest way to stop bullying is to impress upon the little jerk that his actions are socially unacceptable and punishable by all.

      @SGTB…are you serious? I usually agree with you, but that is just asinine. How do we even know what this kid did? In my child’s elementary school this past year, a kid was suspended for 2 weeks simply for name calling. It wasn’t even vulgar or anything, think “poo poo head”. These teachers/admin are no longer trustworthy to make logical decision about ANYTHING, let alone how to punish children. This is disgusting and the teacher should be charged with assault of a minor.

      @ Usedczarsalesman, I seriously doubt that any sane adult human being would have 20 kids line up and punch another kid over name calling. But I won‘t say it couldn’t happen. My mother always said that she would never tell anyone else that her child was above doing something wrong because the minute you say a person won’t do something, they go and make you a liar. So it may well be that the act was unwarranted. However, my logic and reasoning skills combined with the years of me asking my wife how her day went at the base daycare center went tell me that this kid more than likely deserved it. There is hardly a day that goes by when my wife doesn’t tell me about a child beating on and biting another child. She has worked at both Marine Corps and Air Force child development centers and I full well know that parental involvement is key to disciplining a child. When that parental involvement is lacking or non-existent, chronic behavioral issues arise like bullying and sometimes the behavior issues are worse. She once had a 4 year old girl who exhibited zero bladder or bowel control whatsoever and the parents did nothing more than bring extra clothes for her.

      Sure, we can all pretend that a teacher that sees a child for 1/3 of every day has no authority, right, or sense of responsibility to a child, but that would be sheer ignorance on our part. IF you are going to send your child to anyone else’s care, you need to be able to trust them with disciplining your child.

      I agree with that SGTB, I’m simply saying that the article gave NO reasons what-so-ever…none at all. I would also say that the kid better have set a PATTERN of being a bully before this type of thing might be warranted (I’m with you completely that some kids need to feel the pain they cause others in order to correct their own behavior), but that the vast majority of teachers these days have shown that they have NO common sense and actually sem to have less than avg intelligence and I don’t know that most of them are qualified to label any child as a “bully”…think of the number of teachers that GLADLY label any Christian child a “bully” because they know homosexuality is wrong. I havn’t been in high school for 15 years but I was told more than once that my Christian views made me a bully.

    This is the problem with our educational system. Teachers and administrators have become arrogant and self-righteous, drunk in their own perceived omnipotence. Ignorant, this teacher had/has no clue that she is the bully.

    Schools need to be cut to the knees. They must be reminded that they are paid to teach. They serve the public. The public does not serve them. The children belong to the parents. They do not belong to the school. Parents have the last say, not the school.

      And exactly how many daycares or schools have you taught in? Parents don’t care if their child is a bully or a problem at school because schools do not have the ability to simply remove such children from their classes. The result is that all of the good kids have to suffer because no one is disciplining the little jerk or jerks in the class. If the teacher could have spanked this brat without the fear of going to prison on a felony offense of child battery and abuse, then she would have corrected the situation her self. It is too bad that people like you exist who no longer understand that it takes a village to raise a child. And no, I’m not degrading your role as a parent, but I am saying that your child will continue to be a little jerk or hooligan outside of your presence until he/she realizes that other human beings are perfectly capable of discerning correct from incorrect behavior and that they will punish him or her for it just as a parent would.

      I remember getting disciplined several times by the parents of other children, teachers, older siblings, aunts, uncles, grandparents, and even strangers. Kids need to be punished for their bad behavior if they are ever going to be decent adults and contributing members of society. That is just the way it is. You can deal with it or you can ignore reality. Your choice.
