An Iberville Parish third grader has been suspended and faces possible expulsion after he allegedly assaulted a student teacher Monday. The Iberville Sheriff's department is investigating the incident.
Authorities say 22-year-old Tiffany Richardson, a student teacher at East Iberville Parish Elementary School, filed a simple battery complaint Tuesday. Richardson, a senior LSU education major, is working her first semester as a student teacher.
"We're there to teach them, so physical altercation was the last thing that I expected," Richardson said.
Richardson said the incident happened during an after school tutorial program. The 10-year-old did not want to do his work and proceeded to call her an obscene name and threatened to punch her, she said.
She responded by telling the student to go to the program's director.
"At that point he turns around and kicks me in my left leg and punched me ... in my chest," she said.
School principal Melvin Craige said the school is investigating the alleged incident after following school board policy -- suspending the boy and recommending him for expulsion.
Despite her recent experience, Richardson said she hasn't lost her desire to teach.
"Nothing is easy," she said. "Nothing's going to be easy that's worth doing."
The Iberville Parish Sheriff's Department said the boy has not been charged, pending a decision by Richardson on whether or not she wants to file charges. She said she has not decided.
The school district's expulsion hearing for the boy is set for Friday.
