Kids, Advice: If you're in Canada, don't fart in class.

Post by Neil »

Anybody hear about that teacher (somewhere in Canada) that's in some shit for paddling some kid........because he farted??

:lol:

The teacher basically said that the boy's farts were so loud and enormous that they rattled the shades on the windows, and that farts like that should not be humanly possible.

Good thing I don't:

a. Go to school there
b. try to avoid beer gas in public places other than friends' houses

I'll see if I can dig up an actual article on this mess because my fiance heard it on the local radio, then told me about it.

I say the kid needs to learn some respect, and the teacher needs anger management.

Rattle the windows? What was he eating? I don't like most of my classes, I want that diet.

holy crap.
"When looking up there, I just felt whole, like I belonged. Like one day I too would shine my most brilliant. Sitting there also made me think about sitting through services at my little country church back home. About that never-changing congregation of the same sixty-seven people and everyone has known you since before you were born. Now, out here in the real world, everything just seemed more vivid than when I used to sit in that little pew. That pew that was now so, so far away from where I was. I feared I had somehow left God behind there, too. I feared he was somehow just sitting there, saving my seat on the fifth pew from the front row, just waiting on me to come back. I left so quickly, I worried that he may not have noticed I was gone. And, now, I’m just too far away to find. So he’s just sitting there, patiently waiting on me to come back. I closed my eyes and prayed a moment. I hoped more than anything that he could still hear me." -an excerpt from my novella, A Sea of Fallen Leaves.

I believe teachers are allowed by law to hit students in Canada. It doesn't ever happen, and if it does usually the teacher is booted from the school or there's a lawsuit involved.

It's a weird law but I'm pretty sure they are allowed to hit students.
I can't wait until the day schools are over-funded and the military is forced to hold bake sales to buy planes.

No, teachers are not allowed to hit kids in Canada. That's why this story would be big news.

hmmm I thought it was a board by board policy... It's not allowed per se, but under law (and i'm pretty sure this is a law but I haven't been able to find anything saying it is or isn't allowed) they could punish a child by hitting them.

The only time a teacher is allowed to use force in Canada is if the student becomes uncontrollable and a threat to themself/others. So if a kid attacked the teacher or something the teacher would be allowed to use as much force as necessary to subdue them. We discussed this with my grade 9 math teacher, lol.. she was a small lady.. she probably would have had to hit a nutso kid with like a bat or something :lol:

Well, I guess that much gas could be considered harmful to everyone else in the room/school/province...

This wasn't just a simple "smack" and thats it though, I guess the teacher paddled the kid pretty damn swell.

The kid had a lotta bruises.....I guess his mom found out 'ur something like that and she started the hell raising about it.

the teacher should go to jail, and the kid should go the doctor.
