STUART — A student was charged with battery last week after he was accused of attacking his teacher when she woke him up, according to an affidavit released Wednesday.

The incident occurred the morning of May 12, when the 14-year-old jumped up and began flailing his arms as the teacher roused him to leave the class at Challenger School, the affidavit says. He then kicked her in the left knee and punched her right forearm.

The boy was charged with battery on a school employee and suspended from school, according to the affidavit.

    I believe DCF should investigate the childs’ home life for abuse. Is he impaired? If not, put him to work after school. Cleaning at minimum wage, until he pays the medical bills.

    If the teacher had let the kid sleep and was found out by an administrator, the teacher would have been in trouble. The teacher wakes the kid and gets beaten; still trouble.
    Most have no idea what it takes to be a public teacher these days. I have taught 33 years and its just getting worse.
