This whole story turns my stomach. That poor kid. He must have been so humiliated and scared. How could that teacher do any of that? How could anybody support that teacher?

I was shocked by the support of the teacher as well. I couldn't get over the fact that not only did she film it, she also sent it out to other teachers at the school afterwards. Why would she do that? What purpose does that serve?
