From Foxnews.com:
A substitute music teacher has been arrested after allegedly whacking a 10-year-old student on the head with a viola bow after telling the class they were “the worst players I’ve ever heard.”
Newspaper and television reports said the trouble began when Carla Shinners, 63, a teacher for more than 30 years in the district, was interrupted by a call on her own cell phone. She allegedly began swearing Feb. 12 at the Creekside Elementary School, where she had earned the nickname “Mrs. Grumpy Lady.”
Principal Karen Daly said parents and students complained.
The 10-year-old said Shinners also pulled her hair.
I have two comments:
-
Since when is a grumpy grade-school music teacher news?
-
Thank goodness the kid didn’t play an instrument that uses sticks, mallets, or a larger bow.
