Ahh....education in Georgia is so very special, isn't it?
A teacher at a Newton County school has resigned after officials say she admitted she told two students to throw a 14-year-old girl from a classroom window.

The teacher, a 63-year-old Conyers resident, was not immediately arrested after the Monday incident, which took place at Sharp Learning Center. But the Newton County Sheriff's Office is investigating.

The student, whose name was not released, was taken to Newton General Hospital on Tuesday night for neck pains and cuts to her body, said Newton County Sheriff's Office investigator Marty Roberts.

According to an incident report by resource officer Brian Chiappetta, the incident took place in the morning during second period. The students were in class when the teacher took a photograph of some of the students, the report said. When the girl asked why the teacher had taken her picture, the teacher allegedly responded with a disparaging remark about the girl's appearance.

The girl became upset and began to use profanity and hit the office assist button on the classroom wall, the incident report said. The teacher then allegedly told two 14-year-old boys to pick up the girl and throw her out the window.

The two boys later told principal Kenneth Daniels that they threw the girl out the window because they did not want to be written up for disobeying a teacher. 😕

The teacher resigned Wednesday, Roberts said.

Roberts said he has been told that the school board will leave it up to the girl's parents to pursue criminal charges against the teacher. But he said his investigation is ongoing.

"I've had incidents involving schools, but I've never heard of such a thing where the teacher instructs students like this," Roberts said.

i think the transsexual sex acts in a tree in central park win the wtf award for today
 
LOL, I'm sorry, but I find that utterly hilarious. I mean WTF are people smoking these days in Georgia, and can I have some?
 
Fausto, you should move to Alabama where the problems aren't as big. We don't need no dern teachers tell us 'bout educations and nonsense y'aint never gonna need.
 
Sounds like the teacher was using sarcasm. I think the boys should be prosecuted for their actions as well... Rough world... 😛

Don't you think she might have stopped them prior to actually chucking her out the window if she were being sarcastic?

I would expect her to react. However, she might have thought they were joking around up until they actually threw the girl out the window. When I was in school we were pretty crazy and joked around a lot... It wouldn't have been uncommon for that sort of horseplay to take place... But you're right....the teacher should have stopped it.
 
LOL i can't believe the two boys actually listened to the teacher... and that nobody else in the class stopped this. But pretty funny (wouldn't be if the girl was actually seriously hurt).
 
The psychology behind this is interesting. The boys aren't abnormal. There have been a number of psychological studies showing that people tend strongly to follow instructions given to them by authority figures even when those instructions go against their common sense.

Yeah... I remember seeing that "electric shock test" a while ago. Some people even turned it up far enough to "kill" the test subject :Q

Unfortunately the first floor. It looked like about a 2-3' drop on the news. If they kill a few tossing them out the window the others will be more inclined to act properly. There is nothing left to scare kids anymore and everyone's education suffers because of it.
