Well, like anyone who is the subject of bullying - if you show it hurts people get on your back more.
No, she doesnt "deserve" it, but it was probably in her power to put a stop to it and she didnt... it might sound harsh but unfortunately she maybe isnt cut out to teach.
If some kid made a comment like this she should have put him on detention or a suspension if he didnt turn up for his detention.
We all went to school, and we all knew there were teachers you could puhsh or fuck around with, and people you couldnt - however tough a school it is the same thing goes. I once wound up a teacher so much that he hit me (not as in decked me, but cuffed me round the head) - strangely that made me feel a bit sorry cos I realised the joke went too far (a lot too far) that it drove him to do something that he'd get sacked for if I reported it. We both ended up apologising about it to each other.
There were other teachers who didnt even have to hint at gettng physical that you'd just know you couldnt push your luck with.
I dont know what the DOE has to do with this woman's case - but if the kids did this shit she should have dealt with it herself... it isnt okay, but they are just kids and she is the authority figure.
