Principal accused of making pupil shock himself
An embattled Gwinnett County elementary school principal is under fire for ordering a student to shock himself with a pen he carried to school that emits a low current.
Esther Adames-Jimenez, principal of Beaver Ridge Elementary School, apparently wanted to teach the student a lesson.
So when the boy was summoned into her office to face discipline consequences for bringing the toy to class, Adames-Jimenez asked the student to turn the pen on himself, said Gwinnett school officials.
“Her actions reflect poor judgement,” said Sloan Roach, a spokesperson for Gwinnett County Public Schools. “It clearly violates our discipline procedures.”
Beaver Ridge faculty reported their principal to Gwinnett schools’ human resources officials after the incident.
Adames-Jimenez could not be reached for comment Monday.
This is not the first time the principal’s judgement has come under scrutiny for discipline allegations.
