Brickbat: That Will Teach Him
A teacher at Salinas Elementary School in Texas ordered 24 kindergarten students to hit another student who had allegedly been bullying others. School officials say the teacher ordered the punching after a younger colleague asked her how to deal with the alleged bully. Both teachers, who were not named by media, were placed on paid administrative leave. Officials say the teacher who orchestrated the punching will not return next year and the other teacher has been reprimanded.
