    They never believe students over teachers!

    I’m a retired teacher and a classroom should NOT be a place where privacy is promoted. Classrooms should have cameras rolling at all times. If you’re doing your job you shouldn’t be afraid to have camera rolling. Children need to be protected and parents should have the right to know what is going on Plus it is also very helpful for teacher’s protection too. False allegations have hurt many a teacher’s reputation. So cameras in classrooms should be a must!

    The school administrators believe that recording a teacher bullying a kid is worse than the actual bullying that caused the recording to be made in the first place.
  • "You think they would believe a student over a teacher?" that is so true omg
  • @insanadee5084
    This sweet kiddo essentially stood up for another student who was being bullied, and for that the school bullied her.

    "She thought she was doing the right thing." She was doing the right thing. Sometimes the right thing breaks rules put there to protect bad people.

    “Don’t give me no look”?? What a fine example that teacher must set for her students.
  • Good girl! That's how you stop a bully. Sometimes doing the right thing costs but it speaks to the wonderful person that you are.❤
  • @Lyzsea0711
    why??? THE STUDENT DID THE RIGHT THING!
  • @fayxir
    “I thought I did the right thing”. Yes, she did. The girl deserves an award, the teacher needs to be fired. Period
  • There's only one reason someone would object to a child taping what goes on in class and that would be because you're doing something wrong
  • @milotickz
    Punishing someone for exposing a teacher’s terrible behavior is what’s illegal!
  • there shouldn't ever be an "expectation of privacy" in a PUBLIC school that tax payers pay for... im sorry but that little girl had every right to do what she did
  • @paigel4277
    “The school said the video was illegal.” Do you know what else is illegal? Bullying. A. Child.
  • @-relentlessxchaos-
    As someone who was mercilessly bullied throughout my grade school career, I can atest to what a teacher bullying you feels like. I've had a good few and it's makes you feel a different kind of hopelessness verses being bullied by your peers. Like there's no where to turn at that point... since these are the people who should be protecting you.

    Would love to know if this teacher or the admins protecting her were held accountable.
