Something minor and innocent to correct a child has made two sets of eyes see dollar signs. Then we wonder why children act as they do.

Take god, the respect for an authoritative figures, moral values out of society and our schools, what did you expect, anything less?
I think we should just start doubling up the SRO's duties. At least that way there is a chance that a student could be arrested for a student pulling crap like this.
The Rutherford County schools and judicial systems are going in the toilet quick. Every time someone threatens a law suit someone backs down and pays. C'mon and get a pair already would ya. If we do not find a way to correct our youth today, it will be a very sad day indeed when they need to take care of us. What do you think they are going to do, straighten out on their own. And parents need to start being held more accountable as well and let the schools sue the pants off of them for sending spoiled unruly brats to our schools!!

Just another set of parents who want to get paid for their unruly brat's bad behavior.

Parents like this are in need of a timeout themselves. Their behavior is the very example of everything that is wrong with this country. If children these days had more consequences for their actions then there wouldn't be a need for police officers in the schools. This is a prime example of parents teaching children to NOT respect authority. If this would have been one of my boys, getting dragged to the principles office would have been mild to the punishment they would have received at home. Children need to learn at an early age that they are not in charge and there are basic rules of respect codes of conduct in life.

"At the time, the parents were informed about how to file criminal charges but declined, he added."
That pretty much sums it up, all for the money. I hope they understand no amount of money is going to cover up the shame of greed they've bestowed upon themselves. I would've loved to have been a fly-on-the-wall as they received medical attention. "Hey doc, I'm looking to sue can I get some band-aids and my lawyer is going to need detailed documentation"

something tells me this wasn't the first time this child acted out in the classroom, something also tells me this wasn't the first time the teacher has been frustrated trying to discipline this same child. I'm assuming the "apple" he needed removed from the board was one of the pupil's behavior chart apple.

We see what's wrong with the child by the parents' actions. It's called responsibility - they need to learn how to take it and teach their child the same. I'm so glad my kids are grown.

If my children get in trouble at school that get in trouble at home. I don't hire a lawyer.

I hope the school system has the brains to fight this. Otherwise the door will be open for all to see dollar signs. And what small amount of behavior in the classroom currently remains will be gone.

I wonder if they paid a lawyer out of their pocket, or if they found a lawyer to handle the case for a percentage of the shakedown money. Who is the lawyer?

Parents these days are teaching the kids that they can run the house. The parents need to be disciplined for the child's actions at school and then parents would try harder to teach their child to behave. This idea of putting the kids in charge of their own actions and not teaching them consequences of their actions is ridiculous. I am scared of what the next generation's citizens will be like! I too agree that the school should fight this to the end!!!

I agree with most of what you've all said other than if it had been one of my boys I'd of had a fit that he'd been physically injured. No, not a lawsuit case, but don't go so far as a rug burn on his back. I don't think he got that by the teacher just picking him up & throwing him over his shoulder. Some of your comments scare me as parents. Just let who ever do whatever to your kids. "Like back in the ole days." Or do you all even have children? Your opinions would most probably have been different if it would have been some other form of abuse. I've read them posted in here before. Don't touch our children in an "ugly" way but support corporal punishment to the fullest (why do you think that got stopped?) & lock them up. That will make them ready for society, I'm sure.

yournotsaved- How would you have gotten the kid to move the apple from the board? How would you have gotten him from under the desk? Tell all us "ignorant" folks just how it should have been done. Do you think saying "please" would have worked? I think NOT in this case.

Quite simply, I would not force him to get the apple and left him under the desk!
Now that was easy!

To simply be ignorant and let this type of behaviour continue in a classroom distracts the other children who are learning. The teacher loses teaching time, respect of students and peers, and control over the actions of other students. In the long run we would hear about a classroom with "Every Child Left Behind".

The child's behavoir is a self coping mechanism; the child is fearful or anxious of something thus the hiding. This is not agressive behavior. Is the child autistic? MNP is 1 of 3 of the City Schools that has full inclusion children with handicaps & disabilities. Does this art teacher know how to properly handle these children?

Then that paticular child needs to be placed in a special education classroom. The child needs a physician that deals in behavioural problems. A teacher is to teach and maintain discipline in the classroom. Distractions prohibit the other students from learning.

I see nothing wrong with what the teacher did. If you have a problem with how unruly children are handled then maybe you should volunteer your time to help out in the classroom.

yournotsaved- Yep, that was easy. And it would get easier after all the kids were under their desk. You could sit there doing nothing, accepting no responsibility, and think what a great job you were doing. Thank God our teachers and most of our parents don't have this mentality!
