Reply #31: I'm very surprised at the mob mentality directed toward this child.

There wasn't enough information included in the article to jump to any conclusions, yet several opinions here are based on the assumption that the child pooped "in front of the class". The circumstances weren't mentioned in the article.

My child pooped in his pants in kindergarten, despite asking the teacher several times if he could go to the restroom to no avail. The teacher, with whom I had many conversations previously, had told me that she & her husband did not want to have children, that her dogs were enough for her. As one of her parent volunteers, I was able to witness firsthand how cold-hearted she was toward the children. I always thought of her as one of those teachers who chose the profession for the generous vacation time, rather than to inspire an interest in learning for the children.

I do wonder about the circumstances in this case. I've seen a lot firsthand.
