But tantrum/meltdown/lava-flow/younameit, this is not how one treats a child, neither then nor now. Echoing ThirdAmendmentMan: that child could have easily injured her head, arm, shoulder—dear lord,…
Dragging someone like that can cause serious damage to their arm and shoulder. That right there is child abuse. There’s a reason a fellow teacher took the picture, immediately reported the incident, and the school immediately fired her.
