    Yep, after assaulting middle school children, his punishment was to be principal of an elementary for twenty years and then be rewarded with “educator of the year” when he retired.

    Not his first incident, either. My friend’s older brother got in trouble for supposedly swinging at him (in 8th grade, and this guy was a former NFL player). Who knows why. He repeatedly made me sit in the office for hours because he claimed he wanted to rule me out for vandalism, so rather than attending classes, I sat in the office waiting area doing nothing for days.

        I actually was a pretty nutty kid, and did some shit that I look back and am ‘holy cow, I guess that’s why I didn’t have children’. On the other hand, this sort of abuse from adult authority figures contributed to my actions.

          Same boat but did have kids. I did actually have a teacher say this to me. Few years after highschool I want back for some event and said hello to this one assistant music teacher and offered my hand for a shake and he wouldn’t shake it. Said “you were trouble back then and you’re trouble now.” It’s the adults that are nutty. Kids are kids. If you yell and scream at them, they are going to yell and scream at others. If you say no to them for everything they will say no back to you for everything. Gotta level with them, give positive feedback.
