To Spank or Not to Spank...

The Question of whether it is appropriate for a teacher to call a parent in order for the parent to come to school and discipline a child.

A Jacksonville gym teacher accused of calling a parent to bring a belt to the school to discipline his unruly child has been charged. Paxon Middle School gym teacher Aaron Cesar Jackson, 52, was charged Thursday with encouraging an act that could result in injury to a child, according to the Sheriff's Office arrest report. Several students told police they heard a teacher call the parent of a 13-year-old boy and told him to bring his belt because he was out of control, according to the report. When the stepfather arrived, he was provided a room where the boy was hit several times. The school resource officer said the teen had a swollen, reddish right arm, large contusion above the right eye, swollen and bruised right side area and was shaking, the report said. Then the boy was sent to the gym teacher to apologize. The stepfather, 41-year-old Henry Lee Crimes, was arrested Monday at the school and charged with child abuse. He told police a similar version about what happened. Jackson was reassigned to another location and ordered to have no contact with students while the investigation was ongoing, the school district had said. When arrested, he told police he wanted to talk with his lawyer, the Sheriff's Office said.
