New technique for classrrom management: Fire a gun at your students (blanks)

Here is an excellent idea in classroom management, if your students are not cooperating, fire a gun loaded with blanks at them. :smile:

Lol.......

Dad releases audio of teachers allegedly bullying autistic son

 

When I was in 8th grade our teacher told a story of his friend who did something like this. He pulled a cap-gun on a student who was the class jerk. The teacher said, "I can't take it anymore!" pulled the gun out of his desk and fired at the kid. The kid freaked out, the class laughed and the kid was in line for the rest of the year. Of course, that was in the early 80's and the world was a bit different.

 

Wel, good to see that that Virginia teacher wasn't our good friend Matt Brent.

 

When I was in the police academy, we were in the middle of a dry Constitutional Law lecture when a guy burst into the classroom, fired off a bunch of shots (blanks), then ran out. We were then asked to write down a complete description of the "suspect", and they varied wildly....some guys were off on the height by almost a foot, and some didn't even get the race correct.

 

I think gunman must have been that teacher in the article.

 

This is weird. Being a teacher why would someone do things like these. It simply adds in so much fear in students that they just loose faith in the education system and all the teachers.. People do such strange things it is really shocking. Students have been observed to get mentally affected due to such incidents and have developed fear in them.

 

I assume that the teacher has different interpretation of weapon safety rules. "Never point a weapon at ANYTHING you do not intend to shoot," for his case he believes the rule does not apply to ANYONE because humans are not things. rivateeye:

 

As a police officer, I will only shoot to stop the threat, not to kill (thankfully I have yet to have to do it).

 

Reminds me (granted this is an entirely different level with the gun and whatnot) of my 8th grade Science teacher who had the "corrector" as he called it. It was a hand made wooden mallet with a slot for a pop cap in the end of it. If a kid was asleep in class he would load the hammer with a pop cap walk up to the offenders desk and slam the hammer down causing the sound of the hammer hitting the desk and the mini "explosion" from the pop cap. Never saw people jump out of their chair so fast from being asleep. Only took about a month before no one even dared to think about napping in his class lol.

 

My HS Biology teacher would just pour a glass of water on our heads.

 

lol.......

 

Thank you for this very nice ideas.

 

Nah, I live in a rural division. If anything we'd use pitchforks. :naughty: Virginia laws don't allow guns on campus, but I don't think they say anything about pitchforks...

Before the replaced my blackboard with a whiteboard, I had a spray bottle that I'd use to clean the board. Occasionally I'd turn the tip to "stream" instead of "spray" and shoot the kids that were screwing around. Funny thing was, they weren't paying attention, so half the time they never realized it was me.
