In today's edition of stupid news that should not have made the Internet, we have a story from Atherton, California. Today, we have an incident involving a student who wasn't paying attention in math class. Definitely not newsworthy. Also not newsworthy is the teacher's response, which involved walking up and briefly rattling the desk of this inattentive eighth-grader. What should not have made the news is the fact that a fellow student then called 911 and reported a crazed teacher in the classroom. When the police arrived, they found a calm teacher teaching a calm class.
So, was the cell phone toting brat arrested for placing a non-emergency call? No! Did the school superintendent place the teacher on administrative leave because police were involved? Yes! Was any of the other students upset by their teacher doing his job? No!
Can somebody tell me why this news story was allowed to happen?
