@Madken65 I tried something like that in 6th grade, all it got me was a red “F” in deportment and an 8 week grounding.
@Madken65 He asked what I was doing with that gum in my mouth and not thinking I said chewing it. I probably would have gotten away with a slap on the wrist and lines but the class laughed and he had problems getting the students to respect him. When I was in my 20s he get fired for using a cattle prod on the students to punish them. I think we drove him over the edge and I always feel bad about that.
