Houston ISD confirms to ABC13 that a third grade teacher at MacGregor Elementary School was removed from campus and has been recommended for termination following a confrontation with a parent on Thursday afternoon.
Vanessa Martinez said she went to the school Thursday afternoon to pick up her daughter who had a fever. She told the school she would also like to pick up her third grade son, Jordan.
She said her son’s teacher entered the school’s office holding him by his shirt, and he was crying.
“She’s doing this neck-rolling thing waiting for me to look at her,” Martinez said.
Martinez described the teacher’s demeanor as being aggressive. She said the woman asked her to step outside the office so they could talk and proceeded to get in her face.
“It was, ‘Your son doesn’t listen’ and you know, ‘He’s putting his hands on other students’ and she’s doing this,” Martinez said waving her hands in front of her face.
She says about a week ago, her son received some new medical diagnoses from a psychiatrist, which she has provided documentation of to the teacher, and said doctors are trying to get his medication regulated right now.
