SIMPSONVILLE, S.C. – Chartrese Edwards is demanding answers from her daughter’s school after the 6-year-old said her teacher tossed her sandals in the trash in front of her classmates.

“On Friday morning I sent to put her sandals on her and she began to start crying and saying, ‘I don’t want to wear those sandals, mom,’” Edwards told Fox Carolina. “I asked her why and she said, ‘My teacher threw them in the trash can.’

“And I said, ‘What trash can? Why would your teacher throw them in the trash can?’ And she said, ‘Because I was playing with them and she told me not to.’”

Edwards told the news station the incident occurred last week at Bryson Elementary in Greenville County Schools. Edwards said the girl was eventually forced to dig her sandals out of the garbage.

Edwards went to the school to have a chat about the ordeal that apparently did not go so well.

“They ended up pulling her out of school and are waiting for a resolution,” Fox Carolina reports.

The distraught mother does not want her daughter to return to the same classroom or school, she said.

“That’s my baby. I love her. I raised her with dignity and respect to take care of herself, especially her appearance. And you take shoes I bought for her and you throw them in the trash,” Edwards said.

“You don’t have the right to do that, you don’t have the right to take my baby’s shoes off her feet and throw them in the trash and humiliate her in front of her peers,” she said.

District officials told Fox Carolina they are still “investigating” but will not reveal the name of the teacher involved, or whether the investigation results in disciplinary action against the unnamed teacher.

“Greenville County Schools is taking this family’s concerns very seriously,” according to a prepared statement. “The district does not tolerate embarrassment or humiliation as a form of punishment. This matter is being thoroughly investigated by Bryson Elementary and district administrators. The investigation is not yet complete.

“As this is a personnel matter, Greenville County Schools cannot release the teacher’s name or the disciplinary action taken, if the investigation determines that discipline is warranted.”
