I wish all the teachers did when I was in school was throw pencils. I had several months when I was in 5th and 6th grade where I had trouble sitting thanks to “Mr. Clark”, and I thank him to this day.

When I was in 5th grade I had a teacher (one Mr. Boel at Audobon elementary in Foster City, CA) who lifted me up to the ceiling by my hair. Literally grasped my hair in one of his hands and lifted my entire body off the ground while yelling at me.

When I was a freshman and sophomore in HS we had a teacher who routinely threw chalk and erasers at students he thought were just to damned dense and asked to many questions. He was never disciplined as far as I know but moved to another school when I was a junior. This was in the late 1950s.

Amen. For me it was 7th through the 9th grade. Builds character. We are raising a nation of whimpering crybabies now days. Stories like this makes me want to scream 'FOR CRYING OUT LOUD'.
