Qualified Government School Teacher Allows Students to Beat Tardy Classmate
By Duane Lester • Apr 1st, 2008Remember, your children should be in school, taught by people qualified to provide the education your son or daughter deserves, even when it includes a beatdown from their classmates.
A Delta High School teacher who allegedly gave his students permission to beat a classmate who was late for class has been charged with child abuse.
Brian Havel, 22, was teaching English at the school March 14 when the boy arrived after class started.
“In his class, the disciplinary process was X amount of sit-ups or push-ups in a certain amount of time. He either wouldn’t or couldn’t complete them,” Delta interim Police Chief Roger Christian said of the punished student.
The boy’s classmates volunteered to administer an alternate punishment.
“The class made a suggestion that if he couldn’t finish, we ought to be able to punch him, and (Havel) agreed. So 10 to 15 students got to hit him,” Christian said.
Havel has resigned and is no longer at the school, said Delta principal Delaine Hudson. Havel couldn’t be reached for comment.
This clown is now facing child abuse charges. But at least he was qualified to teach, right?
