Since she was going to cut others' hair.

If she didn't have a breakdown...WTH?

When I read "She is a loving and kind lady. She is usually all smiles and laughs. This is not the Miss G. we know and love." in the article, I found it terrifying to think about. What must it be like to blink into this new persona?

It sounded like the kids were in complete shock.

So maybe she’s gone crae crae a time or two already.

Or "bath salts."

We had an employee who was abusing pain meds and went off the deep end a couple of times before termination. Another was an alcoholic and just stopped showing up. A family member found them at home in a psychotic state.

she is clearly mentally unwell.

It really seems pathological.

Charters are such bullshit.

This person already had their teaching credentials suspended in 2016. For "immoral or unprofessional conduct."

Many places have public high schools on the grounds of community colleges and universities. PUBLIC.

It is obvious from her actions and the kids' comments she is mentally ill.

At least from the facts given in the story. It sounds like multiple students warned the administration there was a problem with her days before. I'd place the blame squarely on them for not intervening then as developing a mental illness isn't a choice.

The kid already has short hair. I'd have been afraid she was going to do more than cutting hair with the scissors.

This lady's cheese has definitely slipped off her cracker.

that the behavior was inappropriate, I'm not sure $100,000 isn't excessive. Yes, she assaulted a child but there wasn't any permanent physical harm. I would say it could be emotionally harmful but she's been suspended and arrested and probably won't be back at that school. I think $5000 or $10000 bail would have been more appropriate.

and stripping identity.

Add in the scary element of someone behaving so oddly while wielding scissors, which could easily or even accidentally become a weapon.

Glad the students made it out of there before the situation became worse.
