Lise Van Borssum, a 19-year employee of the school system, has been charged with assault by contact after she was accused of striking a child on the leg with a stack of six or seven shelf markers. The child was not injured. She is on paid administrative leave and gave no comment to the press.
Tempers seem to be running short in and around the Galveston schools; Ms. Van Borssum is the third person (along with a kindergarten teacher and a bus driver) to hit or kick a child, according to this article in the Galveston Daily News.
Geez, then I know lots of felon nuns.
Please she tapped the little brat with some flexible plastic things. I thought that kicking a kindergarten student was a bit much and she was acquitted.
These kids must be real snots to piss off 64 year old teachers.
That is not to say that I think you should hit children. Their parents perhaps, but not children.
