42. No, I think it has everything to do with Florida
I am sorry but the teacher is white with a very Southern RW looking hairdo (feathered, probably hasn't been updated since 1982)

The kid is black.

Forgive me... but given Florida's history in these matters/gut reaction, I sense a whiff of some kind of racism at a surface glance.

If the kid is truly out of control and the mother herself has called the cops on a number of occasions about her (I still haven't seen the link to that) then perhaps I am dead wrong and shouldn't have impugned this teacher's credibilty and called her a fat lard.

There are excellent teachers, there are teachers who mean well (even though they may be somewhat misguided) and then there are the ones who should be drawn and quartered because they are pushing their OWN agenda for whatever reasons and they are in a position of power over vulnerable children.

The filming by and the gyrations of this particular teacher made me wonder what exactly her motivation was in regards to this incident.

I have every right to ponder these finer points on a message board without getting accused of having an agenda.
