GA: Teacher accused of ordering student thrown from window

But let's say 5% are

Or let's not. When you can come up with some numbers that aren't plucked from your imagination, we can continue this conversation. One of the things I learned a long time ago is not to let others frame the debate to suit their own ends. Show me proof that there is an actual problem and then we'll talk about possible solutions.

The trouble with demanding proof of a statistic is that not all instances are reported, and some instances are blown completely out of proportion.

In my Publik Skool years, I had a few Shining Stars.

But I also seemed to get more than my share of Bums that should have been thrown down the stairs...

.Any teacher that would tell a 5th Grader in front of the whole class "You are just my Waterloo. You are the poorest student I have ever seen."

Or after having been out sick for a week, {mumps} and staying up very late to catch up, accidentally dozing off, to be awakened by a smack to the back of the head with a History book so violently that said student goes to the floor....

I'm sorry, Golgo-13 is right, Heinrich Himmler wasn't a teacher, his father was.
