Thankfully, my child is in Whiteville City schools where you get a little more respect from the principals. I would get a lawyer. My child would not sit in a classroom where a teacher had assaulted him/her. Bullying is not tolerated if it's the students doing it and it should not be tolerated if it's a teacher. I would not want this person close to my child and she SHOULD be fired. Don't drop it. Your child deserves a decent education in a safe environment. Don't let them win.
