It's possible the child was being disrespectful to the teacher and using the world in sarcasm or that the child referred to the teacher in a derogatory manner when she should have said yes ma'm.

I don't know MW. I had not thought of that. People can alter a situation to protect their group, themselves, family and friends.

The named school does not want further attention no matter the truth. The teacher may or may not have received some type of notice.

Knowing the truth can at times be difficult. People accuse, get accused, and things are not always as seen or told.
