    I was going to think of a clever spit pun, but I'll leave it to the professionals.

    oh the horror! Dirty hands!

    At first I thought the title said "spat"...i'd rather have spit in my hands than a paddle against the butt. Kids got it easy these days

    What a stupid punishment. Does that teacher know if any of those kids are sick with something contagious? I can't say whether he be fired or not, but you have to seriously wonder about his judgment, or the lack there of. The district seems to be handling this the right way.

    True, but it's still a fairly considerable lack of judgment. If this was your kid, how would you react to a teacher allowing 20 something students to drip their saliva on your child? I'd be pretty pissed.

    Look at it this way- the kid's college is probably going to be paid for. And their new vacation house, and dad's Vette, and mommy's boob job, and the new speed boat, etc, etc.

    fixed it.


    if my kid was acting up and derseved it...i'd be fine with it honestly. You do the crime, you better be willing to do the time.

    FYI, there's already a job posting for a band director at New Caney HS. I guess there's no elaboration needed....

    :eek:

    I played the trumpet in middle school, and hated cleaning my spit valve. Having everyone empty there spit valves in my hands would have ****ed me up for the rest of the year, possibly the rest of middle school. Especially since I was a clean freak, and that **** smells wierd/gross. Couldn't she just have written the student up and gave him/her detention?

    The teacher should be fired for the rest of the semester and take some child abuse prevention classes.

    What if one of the kids had hepatitis or other infectious agent and the 11y.o. had a small paper cut that wasn't fully healed.

    I'm not saying he didn't deserve punishment but it was very poor judgement on the band teachers part....

    In the end, it's overly degrading. We're talking about pre-teens here. I don't know if the guy should be fired, but a two week suspension w/o pay is probably warranted. This isn't military school or high school football. It's Middle School band, and these are kids.

    I'd probably confront the director myself had this been a kid of mine. These parents acted with more restraint than I might.
