Charlotte Dial is an instructor at Success Academy, a charter school in Brooklyn. In 2014, a teaching assistant taped Dial chastising a first grader for getting a mathematics problem wrong. Today, the New York Times ran that video.
In the video, the class sits cross-legged in a circle. Dial says to a student, Count it again, making certain you're counting correctly," in a really irritated tone. The student starts counting. One... 2..." Thenshe looks and stops up at her instructor.

At that moment, Dialtakes the woman's paper and tearsit in half. GO TO THE COOL DOWN CHAIR AND SIT," she yells. THERE'S ABSOLUTELY NOTHING THAT EXASPERATES ME MORE THAN WHEN YOU DO N'T DO WHAT 'S ON YOUR PAPER. SOMEBODY TURN UP AND SHOW ME HOW SHE NEED TO HAVE COUNTED TO GET HER RESPONSE... DO NOT RETURN TO YOUR SEAT AND PROGRAM ME The Main Thing THEN DO N'T DO IT HERE. YOU 'RE COMPLICATED EVERYBODY."
I'm using all caps because that's the universal sign for YELLING. This woman is shouting. At first graders. For not doing a mathematics question right.
Success Academy Charter School remained in the news a few months back, for keeping a got to go" list of kids they planned on forcing out of the school.
The video was recorded secretly in 2014 by an assistant instructor who plainly recognized Dial's habits as out-of-line and outrageous. She shared the video with The New York Timesafter she left Success in November.
A representative for the school told the NYTthat teachers need to never chew out children, utilize an ironical, annoyed tone," provide repercussions planned to shame kids," or speak with a child in a way they would not in front of the kid's parents." Those rules do not seem to hold much water, however.
