BROOKLYN, New York – A video of a teacher screaming at her student and humiliating her further while in front of her classmates emerges online; draws flak.
An article by Tanveer Mann for Metro published on February 14 said that Charlotte Dial, the teacher in the video, was screaming at an unidentified pupil; then she surprisingly rips up her homework in front of her classmates because she got a wrong answer to a Math problem.
The video footage, which was reportedly taken ‘surreptitiously’ by an unknown staff member, shows Dial yelling at a six-year-old girl after she makes a mistake.
“Count it again, making sure you count it correctly,” Dial shouted as the young girl can be seen sitting in front of her.
After some time, the teacher says “count” again, but whispers it this time.
Ross Logan mentioned in his article for The Mirror published on February 13 that when the student repeatedly got it wrong, Dial shouted again, saying: “Go to the calm-down chair and sit.”

The teacher can then be heard telling the rest of the class that there’s nothing that infuriates her more than when they don’t do what’s on their paper.
The video footage was taken by a former teaching assistant at Success Academy in Brooklyn, New York, in 2014; however, it was recently published by the New York Times — perhaps to remind educators that self-esteem is not developed with acts like this one.
Dial was suspended after the Academy saw the video last month; however, she returned to work just over a week later.
Eva S. Moskowitz, Success Academy leader, referred to the video as an “anomaly” and some parents confirm that the clip did not reflect their experience of the school.
Kate Taylor said in her article for The New York Times published on February 12 that an interview with 20 current and former Success teachers suggest that while Dial’s behavior might be extreme, much of it is not uncommon within the network.
