Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
She's one of those people that teaching is just innate for.
Honey, it's "for whom teaching is innate."

(I'm so going to get it.)
Personally, I think Aims' sister wasn't lenient *enough*. I would have shot the student in the face. Seriously. Pulled a gun and just shot the girl right in her face.
Ow. Bit my tongue. Shouldn't keep it in my cheek.
I was in an advanced English class in the 7th grade where the teacher hung a diaper on the chalkboard because she felt we were being "babies"--she had to go back to diagramming some sentence structure after the whole class performed rather badly on a written assignment.
Over the top? Maybe. Humiliating? Yeah. I don't bear any emotional scars from it.
I emphatically disagree. Humiliating a student is uncalled for, and I can't see how it would do anything other than put the kid off that subject/school for good. I've never heard anyone say their path in life was steered right by that really good dose of public humiliation they got from their teacher in front of the whole sixth grade back in P.S. 131.
The whole French school system is pretty much based on this--or rather, highlighting both the bad and the good. I remembered a few incidents in grad school when a French TA or professor didn't understand that calling someone out for shoddy work or a bad grade was something just not done.
A crazy bitch in my Catholic school used to throw erasers at people. Not even a nun! Just an evil old lady.

ETA, you want the 4th one, 889 Hill Street.
I don't bear any emotional scars from it.
That's good. It still doesn't make it good pedagogy.
My public school high school journalism teacher used to throw his stapler. We got him a sponge and a cup of water after a while.
My 8th grade social studies teacher also had a bell on his desk that he called his "dumb bell" and anyone asking a stupid question would get a ring from him.
It kept students on their toes and they really thought hard before asking a question in his class.

The age is a big factor. Potential humiliation is a big part of law school pedagogy, and Bob Bob makes fun of his college students. I think a lot of the examples here elide the difference between expectations of an adolescent or adult and a kid. But a kid is different.
Seriously. Pulled a gun and just shot the girl right in her face.
Maybe Harry Whittington make a grammar error while talking on that hunting trip.
