How far should teachers be allowed to go?

Teacher filmed screaming at young girl then ripping up her work over wrong answer

A teacher was filmed humiliating a young child by screaming at her and ripping up her homework in front of her classmates, all because she got a maths problem wrong. The shocking footage, taken ‘surreptitiously’ by an unknown staff member, shows teacher Charlotte Dial yelling at a six-year-old girl after she makes a mistake. The young girl can be seen sitting in front of the teacher, who shouts: ‘Count it again, making sure you count it correctly.’

The teacher says ‘count’ again but whispers it this time. Dial then humiliates the girl by ripping up her piece of paper in front of the whole class when she repeatedly gets it wrong and shouts: ‘Go to the calm-down chair and sit.’ She can be heard telling the rest of the class, in a stern voice: ‘There’s nothing that infuriates me more than when you don’t do what’s on your paper.’

The video was taken by the former teaching assistant at Success Academy in Brooklyn, New York, in 2014 and was published by the New York Times this week. Dial was reportedly suspended after the Academy saw the video last month, but returned to work just over a week later.

Dude seriously, your choices seem odd to say the least. That being said no teacher should ever do that to a child, yelling no, shaming no, the teacher should have been the one to go calm down.
Should teacher be fired for this would have been a better choice, all things considered

She only scared the kid, and probably others. Scared kid learns nothing judging from my experience... When I was in first grade I probably was in similar situation, I was scared from the teacher, barely managed to be average student... Luckily for me in second grade the teacher changed and I was reborn, in a matter of one school year I went from bellow average student to one of the best students in the class.

Not everyone is born to be a teacher, and unfortunately that can not be learned.

Lay off her without thinking, and take her license so she would never work with kids in her life.

Teachers should be allowed to go as far as handys. It gets weird past that

That's what common core does to teachers.

That's what common core does to teachers.

It's kind of funny, I've had experience of three education systems. The British, as a student, the American as a student and a consultant, and the Japanese as a teacher.

Common core seems a sensible approach to the problems in the American system. It's tough for me to understand the knee-jerk opposition to it.

From my, admittedly, meagre experience of common core in US schools, the problem isn't with teachers, but with administrators who cling to outdated methods.
