Dunking the kid, bad move. Should have taken him out in the hall and after making sure no one was looking, smacked the sh*t out of the little bastard, being careful of course to leave no marks..

Some kids need a dunking now and then.

Of course this notion of "punishment" would occur to a PE teacher.

[rockabyebaby]

He should have dunked the parent while he was at it!

Middle schools have swimming pools?

The punishment of the student, a 13-year-old male eighth-grader, was on Dec. 8 after the pupil had allegedly been disruptive with a substitute teacher, Carley said. The boy was not injured.

More important... the kid needed dunking. :~D

I bet this is a great teacher. He's been awarded as such in the past. We had a teacher in high school who would have done this, and had the respect of all his students because of it. I remember him making one kid sit in the trash can for a whole class, I forget why, but no abuse was alledged. Same teacher caught a kid chewing tobacco in class... at least he suspected the kid was chewing and had spit it into a Coke can. The kid denied it... teacher said... then you better drink the whole thing before class is out. If you don't, you'll be put in detention. The kid tried to drink it and threw up. :~D

Dunking was too harsh, 3 hard slaps , well aimed pine paddle on his rear would have been sufficient.

It worked on me, for a least an hr or 2.

Another PE "teacher" turns out to be a thug with a whistle. These guys are usually washed-up ex-high school players who never got over being a bully their senior year.

No harm no foul.

Some parents don't give a happy d@mn about correcting their kid's behavior and when the kid's finally punished, it's ALWAYS someone else's fault.

If the mother was interested in the kid's schooling, she'd have made it a point to know each of her child's teachers and made sure they connect her face with her child.

McCain's going to be all over this one!

PE? He should have made the whole class run gassers instead.

For those who don't know, gassers are runs across the football field. Sideline to hash mark, touch line, run back, run to second hashmark, touch line, back. That's 1.

Well, at least the teacher wasn't sleeping with the student like so many others we've heard about lately.
