I think there is too little information available at this time to have an opinion. If the girl was walking around with her hair down for the entire class or even for every class then the teacher holds a lot of the blame. If she had it up and for a moment let it down when the accident happened then she holds a lot of the blame.

A shop teacher has a tough job. I couldn’t imagine being responsible for a bunch of teenagers in a wood shop. I think back to some of the stuff I did before I “knew better” and I’m a little surprised I made it out without any major injuries.

It’s a sad story. I hope she recovers.
