When I took Ed Psych, they called it torpedoing as in "Blow the kid out of the watet".

So, is it legal and permissible to just throw a glass of ice water in the face of tantrum throwing Elementary student?

It sure worked on my younger brother and sister. Cured them Right Now.

Crazy how that works.

Steve4102 & Dillonbuck: Indeed the extremes that schools are forced to go to "accommodate" all students has gotten ridiculous and ridiculously EXPENSIVE these days!
Case in point going on RIGHT NOW in our counties only middle school.
Spoiled boy child died his hair (not colored, DYED!) a neon color!
This is clearly against the code of conduct that was explained to every student and every parent BEFORE they were allowed to attend the school.
This explanation included giving the parents and the child a small handbook explaining ALL the rules of conduct and it was written clearly in the handbook that no child would be allowed to attend class with hair that was NOT a natural color!
Said student and "parents" were required to sign a statement of understanding AND intent to comply under threat of discipline/expulsion!
Said neon haired idiot showed up for school mid-year and was sent to the principals office.
Not allowed to attend class the mother and "father-figure" of the neon haired nitwit threatened lawsuits!
Child was expelled from school when he refused to "de-neon" his head of hair!
Child was re-admitted to school under threat/action in court?
School was forced under some private temporary decision to provide a CLASSROOM free of other students and a single teacher to "teach" said single neon haired child until said civil actions are decided!
The defiant neon haired child is NOT allowed to intermingle with other students and relief for the "lone teacher" is another expense the school must "absorb".
Last I heard the student/parent handbook is being more clearly written to prevent neon haired "rascals" from attending said school.
Said extra expenses are shared by the 9,100 residents of this county!
Not saying this is/was the correct way of handling a disruptive student in this instance just sharing the fear amongst teachers and school administrators!
Up to me I would have given the neon haired troublemaker a swift kick in his ass as I threw him out the front door of the school!
That little [bleep] is headed for "serious" problems down the road - mark my words on that!
As is the tiny negress in the OP's instance.
And this - when "I" was the pohlice BY LAW children UNDER the age of 8 (eight!) were (by the aforementioned law!) INCAPABLE of committing a crime!
Children under the age of 10 (ten) and aged 8 (eight) or over were PRESUMED (by law!) incapable of committing a crime!
Children 10 (ten) years of age and over were PRESUMED (by law!) capable of committing a crime.
But COULD be proven incapable of committing a crime!
The six year old girl could be treated for troublesome behavior but her being prosecuted criminally for assault is certainly nil!
Civilly her parents (welfare bitch and some unknown sperm donor?) could POSSIBLY be held accountable!
I say bring back the spanking paddle - but again I do not advocate paddling a six year old - eight, nine or ten - for sure.

After quite a few years in public schools i moved on to work in higher education, so my most recent experience teaching in a public school was 1970. It was an excellent high school and school district, and there is no way that any of the teachers/leaders/parents in any school district in that entire area would have put up with the bad educator behavior exhibited in this case. Too many stupid moves to describe them all - and all involved in the stupidity should be ashamed

nuthin that 20 yrs of hard labor can't fix
