Irregular News for 03.02.07

 

Milan, Italy -- A substitute teacher in Italy who cut the tongue of a 7-year-old student faces the loss of her job.

 

The teacher has also been charged with assault, the Italian news agency Ansa reported.

 

"Zero tolerance is the only response to such unacceptable behavior," said Education Minister Giuseppe Fioroni. "Hundreds of thousands of good teachers do not merit being discredited by the actions of a few."

 

The teacher, who was filling in with a second-grade class in Milan, has admitted injuring the student but says that it was an accident. She said that the boy was being unruly and she jokingly threatened to cut out his tongue with a pair of scissors, which slipped.

 

The parents, immigrants from Tunisia, say that the boy has refused to go to school since he was injured, and the mother has had to give up her job to stay home with him.
