Apples and oranges to you, perhaps, but in many states, the threat of
physical harm IS a crime.
Saying to a young child "If you were my kid, I would kick
your little ass and break your neck." because you're frustrated is way over
the top. It's a little on the psycho side, if you want my honest opinion.
And I think those of you being so understanding of the teacher responsible
for the disturbing outburst need to put yourselves in the parent's shoes and
not those of the bargaining unit. How would you feel/react if some woman
said that to YOUR child? How would you feel if someone in your family - not
even a stranger - said those words to your child? Perhaps when review time arrived, it wasn't even so much WHAT she said, but
the fact that it was such an alarmingly knee-jerk, inappropriate outburst
that her emotional stability came into question.
