Don't mind thumper, he suffers from random jolts in his nervous system that makes him write random things. Well, that's the most likely explanation I've been able to find.
Anyway.
Those teachers are idiots.

What explains the "random jolts"? Too much sugar in his diet? Crystal meth?

private schools > public schools.

This is just nertz.

I wonder how all of us survived Kindergarten and Elementary School in the old days when dangerous stuff like rubber band fights, noogies, dodgeball and getting a hug we not yet verboten on school grounds.

After prior events of a similar nature, such as THIS, for example...(Link to prior D.A. thread) (http://www.discussanything.com/forums/showthread.php?t=87690)....

I'm not surprised....

Not at ALL!

I'm not surprised.........but I'm sorry.........:(

That's back when you could actually SEE Yosimite Sam shoot himself ('cause Buggs turned the barrel around) and see the Coyote actually hit the ground after a 1700 foot fall....

I can't tell you how many times this led me to throw my friends off precipitous falls or drop anvils on thier heads yet expect them to be okay afterward.

I thought hugs were one of the bonus points for actually going to school. Maybe I'm just doing it all wrong.

private schools > public schools.

Yep, and if I have my way my daughter will never step foot in a public indoctrination center.
