It isn't nearly enough. In order to understand how heinous her actions are, you have to understand this syndrome. Its sufferers are exceptionally shy, and have difficulty dealing with other people. And this was a kindergartner, a LITTLE kid. In my opinion, anyone who lets this woman near children again is committing a crime. Heck, no, this punishment isn’t fair. It isn’t nearly enough.

I would like to hear how she justified this in her own head. I was going to say that she deserves the punishment, but perhaps a second chance as well. Then I read this: <i> Alex Barton, <b>5</b>, was instructed by his teacher last week to stand in front of the rest of his kindergarten class at Morningside Elementary in Port St. Lucie and listen as his classmates described what they disliked about him, according to a police report. The boy's teacher, Wendy Portillo, then had the class vote as to whether Alex should be kicked out of the class, authorities said. http://www.wpbf.com/education/16412896/detail.html </i> Now I think she should goto jail.
