Cops called on math teacher.

mercurynews- An eighth-grade math teacher at Atherton's Selby Lane School rattled a table to get his students' attention Tuesday afternoon, police said. He succeeded on that score.
But the demonstration landed him on paid administrative leave. Officers went to the campus at 2:26 p.m. to check on reports of a teacher causing a disturbance in a classroom and possibly throwing objects, said Sgt. Tim Lynch of the Atherton Police Department. When officers arrived, however, they found a calm teacher with class in session and determined nothing had been thrown.
Lynch said it appears the teacher's table-rattling act startled a female student who left the class and called police from a cell phone.
"My impression by talking to her was that she was disturbed by what the teacher was doing," Lynch said.
Most of the students in the class weren't bothered by the teacher's actions, Lynch said. Though the teacher "dramatically" made his point, "it wasn't a teacher out of control," he added.
Redwood City School District Deputy Superintendent John Baker said the teacher will remain on leave pending an investigation. He said he didn't know what specifically happened and would interview the teacher, the student and her parents in the coming days, as well as other students.
No complaints have been lodged against the teacher in the past, Baker said. The district put the teacher on leave because of the police response and the nature of the complaint, he said.

Those striking teachers in Wisconsin should be given whatever the hell they want. Do you see the kind of bullshit they have to put up with. If its not the school board or the PTA up their ass, its some little vomit with a cell phone calling 911 on you because you tried rattling a few cages. You try teaching algebra to these little punks today. It ain't easy. Listen bitch, you have a problem with the teacher, take it up with the principal. You can't just run out of the room and call the fuzz. You're skipping a few steps here. And way to overreact Superintendent Baker, just go ahead and suspend the teacher before you even know the whole story, you pussy.

I remember when I was in school, if some kid wasn't paying attention, he would get a text book thrown at him. And do you think we ran and called the cops? Hell no. We laughed our asses off (once we were out of the class, that is. We didn't want to take a book to the dome too.) One time in 6th grade me and a group of guys got in trouble so we couldn't go on a field trip and were put in detention all day. At recess, we were sent to the gym to play "dodge ball". In reality, we were lined up against a wall, and teachers took turns whipping balls at us from 10 feet away. Did we complain? Fuck no! We just kept it inside and allowed the horror of that day to consume us for the last 20 years.
