that mom is raising a good kid, that teacher needs to be fired

[izzimyz]

They never believe students over teachers!

[codyandrew]

School suspended her because they don’t like that she’s standing up for herself and classmates

[LittleFawn]

I’m a retired teacher and a classroom should NOT be a place where privacy is promoted. Classrooms should have cameras rolling at all times. If you’re doing your job you shouldn’t be afraid to have camera rolling. Children need to be protected and parents should have the right to know what is going on
Plus it is also very helpful for teacher’s protection too.
False allegations have hurt many a teacher’s reputation.
So cameras in classrooms should be a must!

"Expectation of privacy"??? YOUR TIME WITH THE CHILDREN OF OTHERS IS NOT PRIVATE.

[Lyzsea]

why??? THE STUDENT DID THE RIGHT THING!

[paigel]

“The school said the video was illegal.”
Do you know what else is illegal?
*Bullying. A. Child.*

[mysterywritr]

This sweet kiddo essentially stood up for another student who was being bullied, and for that the school bullied her.

[peelol]

SHE WAS 11 she did better then most teachers in her entire school even the principal

[gangwarilydrummond]

This is why kids have depression and anxiety

[luminumlx]

In my school some girls were being sexually abused, and the principal acted like this was only a joke.

In the end, the principal, 3 teachers and 2 inspectors got fired

[jennifergoodhue]

The 11 year old has more morals and maturity than the actual teacher 🤦🏼‍♀️

[dawndayton]

A child who reported a teacher for abusing a student get suspended something is really wrong with this situation

[clarkjc]

So they punish the kid who didn't bully anyone but the teacher is fine telling a 5th grader she's fat like her mom and will drop her?

Wtf.

[mizzysparrots]

there shouldn't ever be an "expectation of privacy" in a PUBLIC school that tax payers pay for... im sorry but that little girl had every right to do what she did

[milotickz]

Punishing someone for exposing a teacher’s terrible behavior is what’s illegal!

[theyoshi]

Schools: Spends hours and hours of teaching how bullying is bad
Also schools: Suspend student for reporting bullying

[LeilaSomaa]

Kids bullying others and threatening others: suspended for a day
Kids recording a video: suspended for 5 days

[keegangidley]

"You think they would believe a student over a teacher?"

that is so true omg

[liyaafia]

The same energy as "You filmed a kid getting hit and abused by their parents in their house but since it's private property and they didnt consent your the one getting arrested"
