Norwalk High teacher Barbara Hart faced tough class load jury trial
The defense called ten witnesses including two veteran math teachers who testified Hart's assignment of business and general math classes created an unbearably difficult schedule. They described discipline challenges, student behavior, and the strain on a first year teacher while noting Hart’s students were varied in motivation and response. The testimony also covered substitute coverage, classroom dynamics, and evaluations of Hart’s teaching.
