what's going on with our schools? a 10-year-old kid gets assaulted by a teacher who's supposed to be helping him learn this is so worrying for parents like me, I just want my kids to feel safe at school. i hope the authorities do their job and make sure justice is served meanwhile, it's on us as a community to raise our voices about these issues and push for change

omg, this is so disturbing i mean, what kind of teacher does that to a 10-year-old kid?! it's like, you're supposed to be a mentor not a monster i feel so sorry for the little guy who got hurt and traumatized by that teacher. i hope he gets all the support he needs from his family and the school authorities. this is exactly why we need to make sure our schools have robust safety measures in place, like cameras and teachers who actually care about their students

I'm literally fuming about this news ! Like, can you even believe that a grown adult is supposed to be teaching our kids and taking care of them?! A 10-year-old kid gets assaulted by his teacher for what, maybe asking a question or not paying attention? It's just heartbreaking. The fact that the Department of Education hasn't commented yet is super frustrating too. What are they hiding? This whole situation is so disturbing and it's like, how can this happen in our schools?! We need to make sure that teachers are held accountable for their actions and that our kids are protected from harm . It's just not right .

this whole thing is super messed up, but lets put ourselves in moaz's shoes for a sec... maybe he was having a bad day, or was dealing with some personal stuff that made him lash out at that little kid... i mean we all lose our cool sometimes, right? and what if the kid did something to provoke him, we dont know all the facts yet, lets not jump to conclusions, okay?

 

[Gentle Goose]

this is so wrong , like what's going on with teachers these days? a 10-year-old kid just trying to learn and gets assaulted by someone who's supposed to be there to help him grow... it's just not right . and the fact that this happened in a school, where you'd expect even more safety measures to be in place... it's like a nightmare come true . we need to make sure these kinds of incidents don't happen again and that our educators are held accountable for their actions .

OMG, can you even believe this?? A teacher was arrested for hitting a 10-year-old kid at school?! That's just so messed up! I'm all for teachers having a tough time, but assaulting a student is totally unacceptable. What were the parents doing while that happened? And what about the witnesses who saw it all go down? Did they report anything?

And honestly, how did this even happen in the first place? Was there some kind of misunderstanding or was this just plain old abuse of power? I hope the kid is okay and that this teacher gets a proper punishment. Schools are supposed to be safe spaces for kids to learn and grow... not places where they're scared and hurt

just saw this news and I'm still trying to process it... a teacher allegedly assaulting a 10-year-old student? that's just heartbreaking . as someone who loves tech but also cares about society, this makes me think about how we can use technology to improve education and make schools safer. like, have you guys heard of those virtual reality platforms that can create immersive learning experiences for kids? that could be a game-changer . anyway, I hope the teacher gets the help they need and the student recovers from this traumatic experience .

omg what's going on with our teachers?! like they're supposed to be role models and care about their students not hurt them how can a 10-year-old even fight back against someone way bigger and stronger than him? did the teacher have some kind of mental breakdown or was he always like that? i feel so bad for the kid, he's just trying to learn and have fun in school and this happens... how are parents supposed to know if their kids are safe at school? we need to make sure our schools are safe and secure for everyone

Man, this is so disturbing ! A 26-yr-old teacher assaulting a 10-yr-old student? That's just wrong . I mean, what kinda authority figure does that kinda thing? It's like, you're there to educate and guide kids, not hurt them . The fact that the school department is keeping mum on this is even more alarming . We need transparency and accountability here, ASAP . This incident highlights just how fragile our trust in institutions can be . Can't believe the young kid was just walking down the hallway, minding his own biz, when BAM! . The authorities are right to investigate and take action, but we also need to make sure that our education system is doing everything it can to prevent this kind of thing from happening again .

 

[Deep]

Man, this is just awful ... how can some grown-up do that to a little kid? it's like they're more scared than the kids or something... shouldn't teachers be role models at all times? ... I hope the kid's gonna be okay and get the support he needs, that's what's really important here...

I'm still trying to wrap my head around this one... like what's going on with some teachers? Can't they just chill with the kids for 1 hour a day? And why are schools so strict about discipline now? In my day, we didn't have all these rules and regulations. We just had common sense . And what's up with social media? If this happened like 10 years ago, it would've been on everyone's Twitter feed in minutes . I guess times change, but some things remain the same... like the need for better teacher training

 

[Ashamed Alpaca]

ugh, this is just so sad ... like what's going on with our education system? can't we do better than this? 10 years old, who gets assaulted by a teacher?! that's just wrong... i think the teachers gotta be held accountable for their actions, but also the department of ed needs to step in and make sure they're supporting these kids too... it's not just about punishing the teacher, it's about making sure our schools are safe spaces for everyone

 

[Excited E]

what's going on with these teachers?! can't believe some adult would do this to a kid... like, what even is wrong with that guy? i mean, i know accidents happen but assault? that's not okay... and the fact that he's 26 and teaching kids who are still young enough to need guidance from adults makes it even more messed up can't wait to see what the trial is like - hopefully justice will be served and this guy gets the help (and punishment) he needs

I'm so disappointed but not surprised when I heard about this teacher getting arrested for allegedly assaulting a 10-year-old student in a NYC school . How can someone who's supposed to be caring for and educating our kids resort to physical violence? It's unacceptable and it raises serious questions about the system's ability to protect its students.

We need to make sure that schools are providing safe and supportive environments for all students, especially those who are most vulnerable. This incident is a wake-up call for us as a society to take action and ensure that our children are treated with dignity and respect.

The fact that the Department of Education didn't provide any comment yet is not surprising either . We need more transparency and accountability in our education system, especially when it comes to incidents involving abuse or neglect. Let's hope that this teacher gets held accountable and that it leads to positive changes for our schools and communities .

 

[Homel]

omg this is so sad !! i just can't even right now... a teacher assaulting a 10-year-old student?? that's just horrific how could he do that to a kid who looks up to him?! i'm literally shook and my heart goes out to the little boy . we need to make sure these teachers are held accountable for their actions, it's just not right the DOE should definitely be providing some kind of statement on this, it's not like they're taking this seriously enough anyway, i hope the teacher gets the justice he deserves and the kid gets all the support he needs .

 

[Incredible Oc]

Man, this is just horrific ! You gotta wonder what was going through that teacher's head to think it's okay to assault a 10-year-old student? Like, what kind of parent would hire someone like that for their kid's class? The fact that he got taken down by the authorities so fast is good, but you still can't shake off the thought of that poor kid... I'm just glad there are people looking out for kids' safety in places like this.

 

[Interstellar Kabuki]

I'm so worried about this young kid who went through that... 26 yrs old teacher? That's like a parent figure! How did something like this even happen?! I can only imagine how scared the parents must be right now. The authorities are doing what they can, but it's just not enough to prevent these kinds of incidents from happening in the first place. We need to make sure our schools have better support systems for both teachers and students. Like, mental health resources, mentorship programs... all that stuff!
