SUMTER COUNTY, S.C. (WIS/Gray News) - A South Carolina teacher is accused of hitting a student in the face.
According to the Sumter County public index, Sharon Louise Benson was arrested on Tuesday.
An incident report stated that on Jan. 6 Benson smacked the student in the face twice in an attempt to get them to wake up.
No doubt little Joaquin'ta will need long term and very expensive therapy to help him cope with the stress of it all.
ReplyDeletePoor kid may never be able to hold down a full time job. Someone has to pay, in order for the lad to be financially stable for his whole life.
When I was in 7th grade, our Algebra 1 class had a teacher named Mr. Gustine. If you didn't do your homework, you got a swat, male or female. Act up or goof around during class? Yep, you earned a swat.
The really funny part of it is, every single student learned from him, even if you were, shall we say, not as mathematically gifted. We all learned, at least enough to go on to high school math class and have a fighting chance.
The other thing about it was to a student, everyone said that he was in the top few as their favorite, even those students who struggled in his class. You see, if Mr. Customs knew that you were really trying, doing your work, and not screwing around in class, he would give you a passing grade, even if it were just a D.
The administration knew all of this, and always had the teacher's back. I hope that others were lucky enough to have their own version of a Mr. Gustine. A man like that can literally change a kids life, giving him or her the confidence to make something of their life.
Oddly enough, I never had a male math teacher until 12th grade calculus. Never thought about that before, but nearly all of them, middle and high school, were women. Starting with Miss Armbruster, 6th grade, who gave her life, her love and her chastity to the study of lower level mathematics. It was at her hairy knee that I learned the folly of lying about missing homework.

Hey kids, I found her pic after a brief search, & "Surprise! Surprise! Surprise!", it's GTR.
ReplyDeleteThere was no picture, so it was GTR. Good guess. She had to be a big one to deliver enough energy to knock the kid off the chair.
Delete.....hands off cocks ,on with socks! Yeah,I remember.
ReplyDeleteJr. HS, 1964-67. If you didn't take your gym uniform home on Fridays to be washed, you got one hard paddle. You did remember to take it home on Monday.
ReplyDeleteThat ended in 1968 when freedom of choice school selection (and integration) started.
Not enough misbehaving or screwing around kids get hit these days. But life has a way of balancing out ... because they usually end up getting beat up once they become adults. Often in prison.
ReplyDeletegoing to catholic school in the 50's and 60's, getting whacked for messing up was standard. My sisters claimed they got whacked more than me because the nuns didnt like girls. Between you and me, I think there was a different answer.
ReplyDeleteRemember getting whacked for acting up. If you got it at school, expect Dad to be waiting on the porch when you got home. Yep, you got it again....
ReplyDeleteFighting in school got you a trip to see Coach Nichol. You got handed a set of boxing gloves, and sent to the "Ring", which was a 12'x12' square taped out on the gym floor. He didn't care if you fought it out, waited it out, or talked it out. Leaving the ring required a handshake, and an agreement that the issue was settled. When you handed the gloves back to the coach, you got a nod, and a warning that he didn't want to see you back here again. Most took him at his word..
