Whoa, some pretty serious accusations being flung around here: Bill Turque reports that Rock Creek Academy, a special education school located at 4401 Connecticut Avenue NW, could lose its operating license after its staffers restrained students, some of which were “held face down on their stomachs against the floor,” for minor disturbances.

Well, here’s a story you don’t hear everyday: D.C. police arrested a Rock Creek Academy arts teacher after he punched a student in the mouth last night near the school. Joe Coleman, a 38-year-old who resides on the 4000 block of Lane Place NE, was “playing” with a student when the student attempted to grab Coleman’s hat. According to police, Coleman then punched the student in the mouth, causing him to lose a tooth.
