Fremont Teacher Slapped Boy Over Test, Family Alleges In Suit

[...] at a meeting in May to discuss the incident, Berg said that while he was sorry about what happened, he believed the boy had “put a decimal in the wrong place on purpose to mock” the teacher, Rivera said in an earlier interview, adding that Berg and other teachers have long praised the boy as being “super-smart for his age.” The complaint alleges negligent hiring, negligent supervision, assault, battery and intentional infliction of emotional distress and names Berg and the district as defendants. Robert Lee, assistant superintendent for human resources at the Fremont Unified School District, has said “appropriate action did take place.”
