I somewhat agree with this, too. What those kids said was mean and everything but I'm pretty sure most of us have said rude things like that, especially at that age. They deserve punishment but a 1 year suspension?? For name calling? Like....

Ch a 1 year suspension? That's hardly a bad sentence. I'm surprised they weren't expelled.

This was blown out of proportions. That was a harsh sentence for the kids. They don't know what they were doing hence the way they spoke to her. This lady should have known what she got into when she started working with these kids. She let this go on for how long? I hate that she let this get to this point without doing anything about it and she made the kids suffer as a result. She should have acted as a grown up and stood up for herself and disciplined the children before letting it escalade the way it did. Instead she acted poorly and let the kids talk that way to her as if she was a child herself. You're a grown up. Act like it.

They attacked her personally and got what they deserved.

Klein's oldest son killed himself 10 years ago, making all the more appalling one of the students' taunts: "You don't have a family because they all killed themselves because they don't want to be near you.

I don't know where do you guys live, but I'm sure it must be horrible.

If you did, I shudder to think what kind of person you are. You would have to be mentally deficient to think what they said in any way excuses punishment. Like, they crossed the "name calling" line, they verbally abused her. An adult, their supervisor, in public. I don't know what kind of messed up environment you come from, but in no way is that ever okay. Ever.

You're pressed because? I don't know if you actually watched the video but what could she have done? She couldn't hit the kids. If she yelled they wouldn't have taken her serious. And she's a senior citizen, she doesn't have the power of a younger teacher to do something more effective. She's done nothing wrong. And she didn't press charges. So you need to be directing your message to whoever punished these children.

As if she started the website to raise the money herself. It was done by a good person.

Where do you live that, that's the normal thing for teenagers to do? Child, sit. And if I were them I'd be happy I got suspended. I wouldn't want to show my face at school after that.

Congrats to her.

1 year suspension, but they deserved a bigger punishment imo.
