Teacher beats up special needs student

This is horrendous. The video speaks for itself. Parents, be very aware of who is "teaching" your kids. Notice, that this woman (I won't say "Lady") punches like a pro fighter and the head stomp at the end,, well, I'll just say that it is very surprising that the special needs student was not seriously injured. And she looks quite pleased with herself in the mugshot.

Someone tried to say the the student lunged at the teacher or something. Either way, the response of the teacher was horrendous and it's still assault on a minor. She had a responsibility to de-escalate the situation. Especially that horrible head stomp at the end. What if she had caused brain damage? That's far beyond any self-defense claim. Strip her of her license and put her in jail for assault.

I want to know who licensed her to begin with.

Battery, not assault. Maybe both, but definitely battery.

I see a career for her in roller derby or women's Ultimate Fighting Championship.

Here in Illinois, last I checked, one didn't need to be licensed or certified to be a substitute teacher...must have a certain number of credit hours, maybe it's an associate's degree at minimum, and it doesn't have to be in the field in which you are substitute teaching. And in many states, even to be a regular teacher, there is little to no certification required

Being honest, had the substitute teacher been white and the student any other race I'd say this would have been reported far differently.

Agree or disagree

Well, ... yeah! For starters, nobody would be posting a picture of a black woman as "the substitute teacher".

I have many friends and family who are teachers, all of whom had to work their asses off just to qualify for a blue card (background checks to make sure you’re safe around kids) let alone their degrees. So can I just say on their behalf

True. Her actions or rather reactions are understandable, however not excusable.

Training was lacking from what I have read. I didn't know the student was special needs until today. Depending on the severity of the disability the teacher should have never been assigned to the class due to lacking qualifications for special needs. Alternatively the student should have been a special needs program not general population. Again depending on the severity of the disability. A part of the responsibility for this falls on the administration.
