ABERDEEN, Wash. (AP) - An Aberdeen second-grade teacher accused of pushing a student's head into a desk has been placed on paid leave for an investigation.

Superintendent Marty Kay say the incident took place late last month at A.J. West Elementary.

The student's mother told KBKW the teacher lost her temper with the boy because he wouldn't put his head down at a time when classmates had their heads down.

He wasn't hurt.
