The assault took place on Feb.14 when Stephanie Armas,34, attended a meeting with social studies teacher Mayade Ersoff to discuss her child’s behavior towards their classmates. During the meeting, Ersoff reportedly told Armas “You need to learn how to raise your child” and authorities said Armas stood up then struck the teacher in her shoulder. She also threw a picture frame at Ersoff and spat on the principal’s desk. An assistant principal and principal were also present at the meeting.
According to Local News 10, Ersoff explained to the station that she didn’t say anything wrong to Armas: “No, because teachers are human beings and especially in this situation with COVID – with everything that we’ve gone through – the disrespect by a lot of the students and some of the parents, it’s just out of control.”
