Teacher strikes back: Student purposely in wrong class gets nailed with stapler, required four stitches

The reporter portrays the student as an innocent victim. "Because the class was unruly, he thought it may have been on a recess." I don't believe this kid is innocent for one second. He knew it wasn't recess. He shouldn't have been stupid and screwed around on his way back from the bathroom. I'll bet this kid won't screw around with this teacher's class ever again. Give him a raise and promotion. We need more teachers like that guy, the one with guts.

A teacher at Swenson Arts and Technology High School in the Northeast is under investigation for allegedly throwing a stapler at a freshman student's head, resulting in a wound that required four stitches.

Ahmad Pone, 15, was on his way back from the bathroom Friday afternoon when he stopped at the doorway of a classroom to chat with a friend, according to his mother, Michelle Ball.

Because the class was unruly, he thought it may have been on a recess, but when the male teacher told his student to sit down and told Pone to leave, they followed his requests, Ball said.
