I can only imagine they will take the course of your avatar...

This reminds me of that movie IDIOCRACY!

Best damn thing we could do is get rid of teachers union, university dominated education boards and let the parents take back control

And just what's wrong with a little senseless violence in the stands??

My 1st grade teacher had nearly 40 of us little bastids in her class plus she was the principal. Mess with her and she'd grab your arm and shake you till your brains rattled (never happened to me, of course).

My wife is a teacher and had an 8yo tell her to "shut up". That little twirp would be walking with a limp if I were his teacher.

And too true. Although I have often wondered what would happen if the Teacher and Principal showed up at Mommy and Daddy's house, with their lawyer in hand, filing a verbal/physical abuse complaint against Little Johnny.
