IF THIS WERE A FOR-PROFIT SCHOOL, IT WOULD BE A DAMNING INDICTMENT OF THE WHOLE INDUSTRY: Kindergarten Teacher Has Kids Oink At Student For Being Messy. “A Roane County kindergarten teacher who reportedly told students to encircle a classmate, call him a pig and make pig noises because the boy is messy, received a one-day unpaid suspension and had a letter of reprimand placed in her file. . . . Another educator walked into Hayes’ classroom March 16 and saw kindergarteners encircling their crying classmate.” Note the 38 years of public-school teaching experience.
