If this had been an older child I would agree that the 3 day suspension would have been appropriate, but this was a 5th grader. This is a child not even in middle school. A primary student should not have to be man handled to get them to behave. Had he taken the time to talk to the child he would have realized the boy had permission to wear the hat, instead he attacked the boy and bruised his neck. I think it would have taken quite a bit of force to make a bruise. He made a mistake and it could have cost this boy his life (the choking could have killed him if he crushed his tracea or something). We can not have school officials that cause our student bodily harm. If this man had been working in a factory and caused another person bodily harm due to an attack he would be fired after a three day suspensen, in most cases. I would not want my children at a school where he was in charge.
