Please make sure you do your research before you make anymore comments about this case. It’s funny how a child can go home and just tell there parents whatever and that’s the way it is. Funny thing about it is there were no witnesses to the story. The child was told to sit down and may have been embarassed. This great substitute teacher of around 60 years old was arrested because of this. Looks like to me somebody is trying to get paid for Christmas. I’m sure this substitute’s Christmas and career will be ruined. So much for going to work everyday and trying to make a living. The new America of the Offended disgusts me.
