Teacher Gives Kid New Face Tattoo, Mom Sick When She Sees What It Says
By Dreamer
A Virginia Beach middle school student came home looking much different than how he left that morning after his math teacher used the kid’s face as a billboard, branding him with a sign across his forehead. His mother was horrified when she saw what it said and made the man pay a dear price for his special “lesson” when she learned why he did it.
Daniel Board, 46, just started teaching at Landstown Middle School, and like most educators, he went into the profession hoping to leave a lifelong impression on those who come through his classroom. He certainly did just that a month into the school year, but in a much different way than others, landing him behind bars.

Teaching middle school aged teens is not for the faint at heart, but Board was up to the task. However, it didn’t take long before one of his students became too much to handle when he wouldn’t focus and was allegedly a disruption in the classroom. Frustrated with the constant distraction, Board was accused by other kids in the class of instructing them to hold the child down while he wrote “FOCUS” across the boy’s forehead, according to WTKR.
Although the incident occurred a month ago, Board was just arrested this past Monday and charged with a crime for it. The 46-year-old was put on unpaid leave and charged with misdemeanor assault and battery for his unusual form of discipline on the student who was being a problem in class.
The Washington Post received a statement on the incident and aftermath from Virginia Beach City Public Schools Superintendent Aaron Spence who said this “is a painful reminder that harm is not always physical.” He added that what the boy endured was “humiliating for the student and made him the subject of ridicule.”
