Teachers, role models

Wow - great role models for the kids; I'm impressed!
I guess zero tollerance is for students only?

Story:
A Dallas teacher who attacked a colleague inside her classroom while students watched was sentenced to six months in jail.

On the witness stand hoping to avoid punishment of up to 10 years in prison, the woman sought to minimize her responsibility for the April 2005 attack. She said that student witnesses had exaggerated their testimony and that school district employees who testified against her were "sticking together."

Seventh-grade science teacher Mary Oliver suffered a concussion, two broken ribs and a neck injury in the incident at the Oak Lawn school, but the assailant said she only recalled hitting Ms. Oliver once and "maybe making contact" when she kicked her a single time as she was being escorted from the classroom.
