Private school teacher accused of roughing up 6-year-old

This is another story that (if the allegation is true) illustrates the abuse rampant in private schools.

A teacher at a Catholic school outside Cincinnati is accused of roughing up a 6-year-old boy at the school for trying to use the drinking fountain. The teacher is now charged with disorderly conduct over the incident.

Disorderly conduct? Why isn't she charged with assault?

On the other hand, at least she's being charged with something. After I was injured at least once by a teacher at a Catholic school, I just wish the authorities had reined in this abuse back then.
