Yeah, people have their hearts in the right place but what about the people losing homes and such due to the economy? I bet these people haven't donated a dime to anyone like that.

It's across the board. Safe to say Karen did not do so. She was under qualified for the job.

Now that's just being silly...what would have happened if she stood up to those kids, it was posted on the internet, the parents sued the school and the kids got a quarter of a million...cos that's what would have happened

You seem to be changing your opinion on this story?
whats up with that?
We don't know if she had already reported it, and appropriate actions weren't taken by those in charge.
There is a lot we don't know, about prior incidents, etc, or how she was instructed to handle it.

I am shocked at some of the comments posted here.
It seems that the negative comments are derived from some sort of jealousy, or admiration, that she has been given this much money.
The fact of the matter is, why do you care what other people do with their money? There are GOOD people out there, who feel good about making donations. It just so happens that this story has gained a lot of attention as the video went viral.
How much money do you think the posters of the viral video made? They made something, from youtube, at the expense of this poor woman.
This money will buy her a much needed retirement. Not just a vacation...but enough to get her home and out of this awful position.
It goes to show just how much charity is out there. But to condemn it is just hard to understand.
Yes, money is the root of all evil. But I doubt much that this woman is going to put it up her nose, or buy a Ferrari, Porche, or Hummer with it. She will probably die with most of it still in the bank, but will have lived her final years in PEACE.
So GOOD FOR THE American who started this money raising campaign. That shows true American charity, and this woman's life is about to get so much better. Good for her.

Abusers often make the abused thinks it was all there fault.
We know the story already.
Your first instinct was right, to follow the rest of the bullies here your as bad as those kids on the bus that day.
What she does with the money isn't any forum posters business.
I did say that I had changed my mind on the matter. I'd retract my donation if I could.

We all have the right to change our opinions.
I'm sorry you can't retract the donation, but maybe it will go to a very worthy cause in the end.
I think many had their blood boiling when seeing this video, especially the very cruel remarks about the suicide of the son.

Im bowing out of this thread, the woman was verbally assaulted, the kids will be punished for it. I feel sorry that she had to go threw this, and you all wish to make her out to be the one at fault. See how easy bullying can start and spread, just read this thread.
I hope she racks in a huge amount, enough she can retire.
No stars and flags for You!!!
Do we know when the actual event occurred? Did she report them?
