Question: What Constitutes Teacher Abuse?

We want to know what you think of the recent arrest of an elementary school teacher.

, in which a special education teacher slapped a student, twisted a student’s wrist and was charged with other allegations, Patch would like to know what you think constitutes teacher abuse. And what should the repercussions be for the teacher if she is found guilty?

San Mateo County Chief Deputy District Attorney Karen Guidotti said that no children were seriously injured. Should this make a difference in how the teacher is sentenced?
