Teacher gets suspended for...

Colledges are alot stricter on following pre set rules than lower schools are. The reason for this is because they are more focused on buisness. If this guy was not following the correct procedure for dealing with discipline then that would raise some serious questions about the competence of the staff member, and that isn't really a good sign when you are trying to make money. As such this was likely why the teacher was suspended. Now you can complain about teachers being held back by political correctness way to much all you want, but the fact is there are some real morons out there. If given half a chance, many a teacher would take it upon themselves to punish pupils in inapropriate ways if the rules were not properly inforced. I agree though, it's gone too far, but you can't go too far backwards in the other direction and have things back the way they were before the 90's (Or some times around then).WasntAvailable

I would come LATE TO CLASS EVERYDAY because I'd rather be doing pushups than listening to a lecture that does nothing for me. If I were allowed to, I would do push ups randomly during class. Probably some weak boy complained to his mom and the mother kept complaining. RyuHayabusaX

*GASP*! How could a teacher be so vile...so cruel to make students do...*guuuuulp*....push-ups! :shock:

What sick-minded person would go so far to amke some one go through such torture! :evil:

:lol: its funny cause my chem. teacher last year (who is also my football coach) would make student do push-ups for when they were late and depending on the student he would sometimes sit on their backs, and he's like 300lbs.Blitz_Nemesis

One of my teachers made me do 20 push ups for swearing. I think it was a fair deal. Talking dirty in a classroom isn't very polite so I deserved it. But instead of doing 20 I just did an extra 60 to waste time near the end of class :lol:

And I'm becoming a high school teacher in like 2 years. I guess my basketball background will come into play. Everytime my players piss me off, they either run or do push ups or both...

Kids need (A LOT OF) discipline. Heck even most adults need more discipline.

[QUOTE="howlrunner13"][QUOTE="AAllxxjjnn"]My Biology teacher made us do push ups if we were caught chewing gum or eating in class. He would throw a big plush die across the room and he would times the number it landed on by ten and thats how many push ups you had to do. Or you could pay a dollar which he would invest in candy for the class.AAllxxjjnn

What the hell?! That's like confessing to murder and still getting sentenced to death.

Screw that. If I'm gonna confess to a murder that'll get me executed, I want a guarantee that I get life in prison with no parole. Otherwise, what's the point of confessing? If you confess to a murder and then have them use your confession against you in order to sentence you to death, then WHAT was the ****ing point in confessing?

Similarly, if I'm gonna do push ups, I want a guarantee that I'm gonna AVOID detention. What, they want me to humiliate myself in front of the entire class, and I STILL get detention?

**** that. If I'm gonna get detention anyway, just give me detention. I refuse to do pushups until I get a guarantee that doing pushups is going to get me out of detention.

Similarly, if I'm convicted of some crime and the punishment is either 10 years in prison or 100 lashes, I'm not going to do the ten years of prison AND the 100 lashes. I'll do 100 lashes if you guarantee that I'll get out of ten years in prison. Otherwise, what's the point? Getting sentenced to death and not confessing is better than getting sentenced to death and confessing. Getting detention is better than getting detention AND having to publicly do pushups in front of the entire class while your teacher tries to humiliate you. Getting sentenced to ten years in prison is better than getting sentenced to ten years in prison AND gettingm hit 100 times with a ****ing whip before you get sentenced to 10 years in prison.

The hell with that. I'd just tell my teacher to **** himself when he tells me to do pushups, and then do my time in detention.

making his students to push ups: http://news.yahoo.com/s/afp/20081204/wl_uk_afp/britaineducationoffbeat. Pretty pathetic if you ask me whats so bad about this, surely teachers have done worse things and got away with it?NZgamer007

I got made to do 80 push ups when i was like 8 for talking in the library back primary. Things were much less PC back then.
