Teacher Sends Boy Home With Feces in Bag

DALLAS – A teacher is on paid administrative leave after sending a first-grader home with feces in his backpack because the boy soiled the classroom floor.

The teacher apparently was frustrated with the 6-year-old student’s actions so she wrapped up the waste and sent it home with the boy Tuesday along with a note, Dallas school district spokesman Donald Claxton said.

Claxton declined to identify the teacher at Gabe P. Allen Elementary School.

“It generally appears the teacher was trying to help raise awareness with the family,” Claxton said. “It’s just an unfortunate incident. Unfortunately, she took this course of action.”
