I can't get the link to the teacher's side of the story to load, but I just have a hard time imagining that the actual incident went down exactly as reported at first.

I also know that I've been frustrated with local newspaper coverage where I am when there's some kind of incident with schools and a kid. The kid and the kid's parents can tell the media whatever they want to. The people who work for the school are almost always bound by rules of confidentially, so what's reported is almost always very one sided. Note that in this case all that was released [ETA: as near as I can tell anyway], and likely could be released, was a police report that's probably available by an open records request.

I also want to say that I think it's cute that so many people seem to think that if the administrators returned him to class that obviously his behavior had been dealt with. That idea is one of the funniest things I've read on GreekChat ever, funnier than the LOL Cats even.

Please note that I don't actually think what the teacher did was the right way to handle it. I just would reserve judgment of exactly how bad it was and what should happen to her until I knew more of the facts.
