A 350-pound teacher in Minnesota is facing criminal charges for allegedly using a sixth grade student like a “stepping stool” — standing on his back for 10 seconds — while the boy was laying on his stomach during a lockdown drill, cops say.
Jason Rogers, a teacher at Underwood School in Otter Tail County, allegedly confessed to stepping on three different students during a Feb. 10 lockdown drill where kids were required to sit down in certain places while staff conducted a security drill, according to court documents obtained by the Tri-City Herald. Rogers reportedly felt that the students weren’t taking the drill seriously.
