Tarboro, N.C. Child Punished for Calling Teacher ‘Ma’am’
‘At the end of the day as a father, to feel kind of responsible for that...knowing that I have been raising him and doing the best that I can, it’s not acceptable’
Parents of a fifth grader are concerned after their child was punished for referring to his teacher as "ma'am."
Teretha Wilson said she noticed something was wrong Tuesday when her 10-year old son Tamarion got off the school bus from North East Carolina Preparatory School.
"I asked him what happened. He said he got in trouble for saying 'yes ma'am'," explained Wilson.
