RABAT, Morocco (Reuters) -- Two Moroccan schoolboys were injured Monday when their teacher threw them out of a first floor classroom window for being too noisy, an Education Ministry official said.

One of the pupils, aged nine, ended up in hospital with a fractured shoulder and serious injuries to his face and head while the other, age 10, suffered only slight injuries, the official from the ministry's delegation in Casablanca said.

You beat me by *that* much.

reminds me of my old teacher Father Doughing. That man went into such rages that its amazing nobody was killed (several were hurt). He used to have two whips hanging from his black board and had very unique punishments (i.e. holding the bible out straight in front of you for the whole class period while standing, every time you lowered it was 1 day detention). Loved that man.

"They did not listen. They should have listened,"

Yup.

Pretty simple moral to this story. I know some teachers that would love to [be able to] do this.

Bet the little hellions will listen now.... hehehe

Someone should mention that a "first floor" window in most of the rest of the world means the floor above the ground floor. In America and Russia that means the second floor. In the rest of the world, they call it the "first floor" and what we call the first floor is referred to as the ground floor.

Is the teacher for hire? She can start with Washington, Dunce City.

In my mind's eye I can see 30 straight backs, thirty closed mouths, and 30 sets of very, very wide-opened eyes....

My high school chemistry teacher, a retired col. from the army tossed at least one of my classmates out a one story window the same way, no injury in that case. No more class disruptions either, ah the good old days :^)

...My high school history teacher picked up a friend of mine and spanked him with his hand. Very embarrassing to a 17 year old boy but very effective.
