- I am sickened by the idiots that are actually DEFENDING this woman! I reside in a state in which corporal punishment still exsist(not using ma'am or sir is enough to evoke a paddling)in the schools.My son was paddled at school...not beat..and it had NOTHING to do with a lack of respect!Believe it or not,some parents do discipline their children and teach them to show respect.All the folks applauding this woman and blaming the child must not have any of their own.If I were to discipline my child to that extreme,my son would be taken away from me and I would find myself behind bars and charged with abuse. How do we teach our children self control when the adults around then have none themselves? What did she teach that child by beating him with her fists and kicking him...that it is ok to flip out and beat the snot out of somebody!?

- I am an 8th grade middle school science teacher. I fully understand where this teacher is coming from. Parents would be horrified if they only knew how their children behave once they leave home for school. Not all, but most. I have been teaching since 1975. When corporal punishment was taken out of schools, discipline and behavior has gradually gotten worse by the year. This teacher was doing what needed to be done. I applaud her! Now the money hungry parents are going after her. But I think she needs to take action against the parents and the school district for 1. raising an unruly child, 2. for allowing this child to remain in their school.

- One thing I can say is the kid and his attorney better hope that I am not on the jury because they won't see a dime. I'm with the majority on this one. When I was that kids age I was goofing off in class with some other kids while the teacher was out (throwing wet paper towells, not bullying a special needs kid on her first day) the next thing I know is the lights in my head dimmed and I dropped to my knees from the teacher taking his college class ring turning it upside down in his hand and cracking me on the skull hard, hard enough to drop me and see stars for a few secs. I would have never gone home and told my parents what happened because they would have said what drove the teacher to do that and like some else mentioned I may have gotten round two at home or some disipline. Someone else mentioned the horror this kid must have felt when he was getting beaten, in my situation the horror (if you will) that went through my mind was I hope my parents don't find out about this and what about the Horror the special needs keep felt after this rather large portly kid (who can't string two words together) locked the classroom door so the teacher couldn't get in and then was bullying her. What goes around comes around and this kid is not being taught anything. My situation didn't scar me for life, it reinforced the values my parents taught to be respectful of others property(the schools)and of others. Now if this kid didn't do anything prior to the buttkicking then there is a major problem but I doubt it. When I first saw the video I said to my wife that kid had to have done something to push that teacher to the edge. I would bet that this kid is a repeat offender.

- Typical Democrat government worker ? She?ll now get 80% of her salary as penison, soft fruity Democrat hugs & cuddles from a Democrat social worker, appear on Oprah to tell America how hard it is too work 180 days a year 6 hours a day and she?ll get her free healthcare benefits for life ? all at the expense of the working people, but at least she didn't taze him for not giving her any mayo like those 2 Democrats did to a Wendy's employee in Daytona Beach....
America is a great big sleazy corrupt Democrat Toilet? - Reply to this comment
- This is going to happen again. I know, that's horrible to say but we need to look at the big picture here and see that it's not the teacher's fault. It's the boy and his upbringing- too corrupted. He's only 13. Why is he in a class? In fact, why are there schools like this? I have to say this but schools are so different from what they use to be.
American teachers are more than teachers. They have one of the hardest jobs in the country, not only are they educators, but they are parents, lawyers, child advocates, nurses, social workers, you name it. We should question ourselves as to why America, one of the greatest countries, rank so low in the education area. Why are we ranked low? WHY? How can we get to the top? We have so much money compare to the other countries, almost the tip-top technology, but yet, the education is, I don't know, just not the best.
Then, there is the value of family. What happened to it? Too many families are being broken apart, mothers are not being mothers, fathers are not being fathers. What happened to responsibility?
If we, as a nation, do not face realty, and decide to stay in our comfort zones, this will happen again. Teachers will have emotional explosions and who do we blame? The teachers. No, I do not agree. I blame parents who cannot raise their children to be responsible and civil citizens. I blame our educational system. We need to have this fix!
How can we as a nation raise children to be good citizens and be respectful? Children are NOT respectful at all now. Where does this all come from? Home. Home is where our children is suppose to learn how to be good citizens, respectful, manners. We are losing our values. We are going to lose our children if we do not hold on to them and raise them to be good people. Look at our jails.
We need raise America and our children again people. This is for them, their future, our future, the next generation. - Reply to this comment
- I must say I am kind of shocked at the comments of support for this teacher. What she did was not disiplining a misbehaving student, it was clearly a pretty savage beating of a child. I support my daughters teachers and do believe that their hands are tied in many cases where a clearly defined amount of swats with an approved paddle would go a long long way. I have met ALL of my childrens teachers and would sign a permission slip for just this course of action. I understand the issues with coporal punishment but that is my opinion. For the people who condoned this action look again and imagine the horror this child felt while being beatin by an adult a teacher who should be teaching lessons by her proper behavior not her rage at a child, and don't talk to me about their neighbohood or poverty, been there,done that. Cild abuse is child abuse no matter where you live.

- Apparently this isn't the first time Miss Sherri Lynn Davis has "let her emotions get the best of her". She's had a warrant out for her arrest since January 2009 for slashing all four of some lady's tires with a knive. This isn't just about a teacher putting her hands on a student, it's about a woman with an anger problem that's finally biting her in the ass.

- If i would have acted like that my mother would have given the teacher a belt and some inspirational cheers.
We coddle children too much these days. It's creating a society of wimps and bullies. the wimps are too afraid to act because if they do, they end up getting the blame, while the bullies know if you become a victim while victimizing another you will be in the clear. - Reply to this comment
- Hats off to her! Too many of these little brats running around just waiting to be tomorrows next major criminal, all because the parents did'nt spank their ass much sooner. Because the pendulum has swung too far these kids believe themselves to be untouchable and do whatever to whoever they wish. If teachers could give hacks and parents would not get in trouble for spankings to enforce respect there would be no need for campus police. What worked for generations needs to be re-implemented. Do not spare the rod!!!!
