Teacher cuts girls hair without permission - Page 8

SDG · #71 05-19-2008, 02:05 PM

Several weeks ago while sitting in a co-teach classroom that was in the computer lab ... I realized a young man had a wad of gum in his hair. Apparently a classmate had thrown it in his hair ...

When I made him aware of it ... he asked if I could take it out for him ... he asked a girl for a pair of scissors and wanted either myself or a classmate to cut it off ...

I wasn't going to A. touch his hair .... and B. do so w/ a pair of scissors or have one of his classmates play butcher/barber.

I gave him the choice of going to the bathroom and taking care of it himself w/o the scissors ... because it would be dangerous ... or going to the nurse's office ...

He chose the restroom.

We don't know if there was permission involved or not. We've only heard one side of the
story. There was absolutely no physical harm done to the girl. Just like Samson hair grows back. However, a teacher has lost her livelihood, and her name. She has an exemplary history.

"He that is first in his own cause seemeth just; but his neighbour cometh and searcheth him." Proverbs 18:17

Think about this, and prayerfully consider.

Permission from whom? The student? A minor cannot give a teacher permission to cut their hair I don't think. If the students explanation was right it is absolutely a physical and emotional assault. I would however like to know the teacher's side of this story wrong or right.

There is no other side of the story ... as a teacher you must know your limits in what you can and cannot do ... as it applies to your contact w/ a student.

THERE IS ALWAYS ANOTHER SIDE TO EVERY STORY, AND MANY CIRCUMSTANCES COULD RENDER THIS WOMAN INNOCENT. SO FAR, I STAY
NEUTRAL. IF WE CAN'T HEAR WHAT THIS TEACHER'S STORY IS, WE BEHAVE
IRRATIONALLY AND FALL IN LINE MORE SO WITH AUTOCRATIC FASCISM. GOD FORBID WE REACH THAT POINT. DO YOU KNOW MRS. SORENSON? DID YOU KNOW SHE PAID A CHILD'S MOTHER'S ELECTRIC BILL? DID YOU KNOW SHE HAS SEVERAL TEACHING AWARDS? THERE'S HAS BEEN MORE THAN ONE STORY ABOUT HER IN THE MEDIA.

i couldnt care less what she has previously done or what award she has won, if the little girl is telling the truth and she cut her hair after basically taunting her, then she is toast, dt

Presumption of innocence will be hers when or if it goes to trial.

The facts will be discovered I'm sure.

by the way to say the little girl was not physically harmed is a falsehood, her hair being cut after not having that done for her whole life is physical harm, my own opinion,dt

"I AM PERSONALLY GRATEFUL FOR YOUR OPINION, DT. I JUST WONDER ABOUT MOTIVES. I WANT THIS MATTER TO BE SEARCHED OUT.
