Re: True or False

When I went into the seventh grade, the boys were required to take wood
shop. Your first project was to make your own personal paddle. This shop
teacher had no qualms about having you bend over and give you a whack or
two. And the language he used would embarass a sailor. But you did learn
proper and safe usage of power equipment and you learned not to screw
around.
He was fired a year or so later for swearing at a parent.
Of course I'm sure there is no wood shop now (too dangerous) and if there
was, it would be co-ed.

Nope. Teachers with anger management and aggression problems have no
place in the public schools. That former marine you referenced simply
did
not have the proper skills to do his new job. If I had heard of a
teacher
like that in my kids' schools, I would have led the parents' effort to
have him transferred out of the classroom. Perhaps "Detention Class"
would be the best place for him.

I wonder if that former marine uses the same tactics to "discipline"
his
wife and kids? Betcha he does.



Harry, in those days he probably had all he could do to not burst out
laughing.
Hardly a case of problems with anger management. He was simply getting
the kid's attention.
I had teachers like that and they were not former marines. Some were
50-60 year old women.

Heh! I had an old lady like that for one of my study halls - Mrs. Comfort.
Hardly. One day, I must've been sick or something. Big diarrhea. I
politely
asked if I could go to the bathroom. She told me to wait until the end of
the study hall, but based on what my guts were telling me, that was not an
option. I said "I'm sorry, but this can't wait" and ran to the bathroom.
The
old bat followed me there, walked in, and started screaming at me. Nothing
came of it later. The principal apparently knew she was in another world.
