A Texas school district is defending an educator who allegedly physically and verbally abused a young student.
At Tuesday’s Edgewood Independent School District school board meeting, Carolann Reyes accused a middle school gym teacher of mocking her 11-year-old daughter over her appearance.
“There were a couple of times where she [the teacher] said, ‘Oh, your mom can’t afford to buy you new clothes?’” said Reyes. “As adults and teachers, they don’t know what these kids go through at home, so taunting a child about what they are wearing has a big effect on them.”
The issues reportedly stemmed from the student wearing a t-shirt instead of a gym uniform.
