Bully Teacher - Was He Punished Enough?

&feature=plcp

"A middle school teacher was caught on camera embarking on a bullying tirade against one of his students, and the victim's parents are now hoping the sickening video of the attack will lead to criminal charges. John Rosi not only didn't try to stop the cruel act against the eighth-grader at the Kopachuck Middle School in Gig Harbor, Washington last February, he even gleefully joined in, reported the News Tribune...".*

sick.

"After authorities were made aware of the incident last spring, the teacher, a 14-year veteran of the Peninsula School District, was suspended for 10 days and shifted out of Kopachuck classrooms, according to the terms of an agreement signed in April of this year.

He now works in a different school, but the boy's parents do not think the punishment fits the crime and they are demanding a criminal investigation."

That is a criminal act. I hope there's an investigation. The parents can sue those teachers in civil court too.

that was fired for physically interposing himself between two students that were fighting, when one of them gave up trying to fight the other student, and attacked the teacher directly, all because he put his hand on the student and pushed him away.

How in the hell this teacher is getting away with this, escapes me.
