Danbury teacher awakens student sleeping in class; student sues

March 13, 2008

DANBURY, Conn. (AP) - Danbury officials have been notified they are being sued by a student who was awakened in class by a teacher who made a loud noise.

Documents filed with the Town Clerk, a prelude to a lawsuit, claim that a sleeping student suffered hearing damage when his teacher woke him up by slamming her hand down on the boy's desk in December.


Attorney Alan Barry says 15-year-old Vinicios Robacher suffered pain and "very severe injuries to his left eardrum" when teacher Melissa Nadeau abruptly slammed the palm of her hand on his desk on Dec. 4.

A city official says the matter has been referred to Danbury's insurance carrier.

I wonder if the Danbury schools have a nutrition policy,maybe he could be kicked out for packing candy. Either way you're right stick a fork in us its all over but the crying. Allthough maybe he should be home schooled.

Vinicios needs to watch Tom and Jerry more often. I bet he would cry like a girl if a mouse cracked his kneecap with a pipe.

We're raising a nation of coddled, spoiled babies. Sensitivity to words, aversion of responsibility, and aggression towards legtimate authority; not a good combination at all.

All joking aside this kid and his parents are one of main the reasons public school have become so bad imo. The school districs a terrified of doing anything they'll be sued. You want to know why theres no more playing tag, dodge-ball, ect, at rescess. Why classrooms are disrupted to the point nothing get taught. Its people like this kid and his parents who over the years have filed frivilous lawsuit after lawsuit.

If the teacher did not do anything, the headline could very well read: The Most Expensive Education System in the Country and an apathetic, overpaid Teacher allows students to sleep.

You're right. The parents are horrendous. My mother was a middle school teacher; one day, a boy called a black girl THE word. You know, that one that Michael Richards enjoys shouting at hecklers. They punished him, notified his parents, and then had a meeting with them. They blamed the teachers, because they didn't "give him enough to keep him busy." I thought about being a high school history teacher in college, but my tenure would have probably ended with the brutal beating of a parent like that.

I had one teacher whose class I slept in once in a while ... we called him "Overhead Ed".

I got an "A" ...

We need a voucher system ASAP. We need to encourage private schooling, not exterminate it.
