The incident described in the scenario below actually happened to a classmate of mine.

1980: When I was in High School electronics class, our instructor got fed up with a persistent troublemaker in class, so he walked over to him, picked him up by his shirtcollar off the floor and threw him out of the classroom. He came back the next day and was a model student the rest of the semester. He finished the class with a passing grade.

What would happen to the instructor today: Instructor loses his job, his pension and savings and is sent to jail, his career and life ruined. Johnny and family is awarded 10 million in damages for pain and suffering.

In the mid early 80’s when I was in junior high, a troublemaker had pissed off the shop teacher one too many times...he had the kid bend over infront of the window, butt facing him, he opened the window, took a 2x4, smacked him in the rear and he went sailing out the window....it was a ground floor window, but still dramatic.

The kid never made a peep again and neither did the rest of us for the remainder of the year....

We got way more work done, spent less time being distracted or taken off focus and oddly, we really respected and appreciated the teacher cracking down on someone who was runing the experience for the rest of us....

And this was in a liberal kumbaya prep school!!!
