Problem with a bully, is it takes a bigger one to settle him down. A teacher should be able to do it, but then, if the teacher is bigger and older, he gets blamed.

In 9th grade there was a student who had a bit of a reckless side.

He left the science lab and on his way out the door, he opened a gas burner on the table and let it hiss away.

The science teacher, Mr. Webber, discovered who it was, and came into social studies, walked up to Tommy B, calmly took off Tommy's glasses and set them on the table, and proceeded to slap Tommy a couple of times, once forehand and once backhand. Then he walked out. Never said a word.

Neither did Tommy's parents.

We need to go back to those days.
