Zacharion Townsend has trouble when it comes to fine motor skills, explained his father. It was those struggles that caused his second grade teacher to lash out against the student, he claimed.
A lawsuit against Horizon Science Academy is to investigate whether or not Zacharion Townsend, 8, was the victim of classroom punishment on account of his physical delays, as has been alleged by the student's father.
The punishment that the younger Townsend allegedly experienced at a public charter school, based in McKinley Park, Chicago, included physical and psychological mistreatment. He also recalled writing notes to his second grade teacher, who he didn't want to confront face-to-face, asking her to"be a little bit nicer."
Erickson claims the school gym teacher—who is also the teacher's boyfriend—"grabbed [Zacharion Townsend] by the neck, which was a battery—a criminal offense—dragged him out of the bathroom into the hallway when his pants were halfway done in front of the other children," CBS 2 reported.

Well, At Least High School Teacher And Student Ended Up Getting MarriedRIO RANCHO, NM—Feeling comforted by the news that the scandalous and illicit affair eventually amounted to something, school district sources noted Monday that, well, at least high school teacher Lisa Calloway, 52, and her former student Dennis Wilkes, 32, had married. “It was definitely fucked up that Ms. Calloway started sleeping with Dennis when he was in her junior year AP English class, but I guess it makes it somewhat better that they wound up tying the knot,” said the newlywed couple’s former classmate and student Jeffrey Stefanoff, acknowledging that it was “a bit of a silver lining” to find the two had remained together during the years Calloway spent serving her prison sentence. “I suppose it’s good that, although their relationship is absolutely founded on a grossly unequal power dynamic, that it eventually settled into a socially acceptable structure. And we know for certain that in the case of the marriage, he was both consenting and capable of doing so. That’s kind of a win?” At press time, the couple has announced their separation due to Calloway becoming romantically involved with a much, much younger man.
