SILVER SPRING, Md. – A disturbing trial is being held in Montgomery County, Maryland for a teacher who is accused of allegedly punching, kicking and choking the dog piss out of her first grade students. What is the world coming to you when you send your kids to school to learn and they become a punching bag for a teacher to take out her frustrations on? The accused Teachers’ neighbors say that she is going through a divorce and police are frequently at her home because of domestic disputes but that does not give her the right to take advantage of those innocent kids.
The teachers name is Susan Lee Burke and she faces two counts of second degree child abuse and 10 counts of second degree assault. She was a first grade teacher at Greencastle Elementary School in Silver Spring until her arrest.
Her behavior was brought to light by some concerned parents that have watched their happy child all of a sudden become miserably unhappy. One of the parents of a first grade boy in Burke’s class wondered if he was being bullied but he would respond to them saying “no” and just request that he be placed in another class. Eventually he confided in a school counselor which led to a police investigation causing 6 other students to step forward to report their abuse stories.
