OK OMHO: BAND TEACHER NEEDS TO GO. Excuse me?????? Stand in the sun for moving????? I had a 4th grade teacher who had a kid be monitor at the backof the room. If anybody mmoved out of sitting up straight with hands folded on desk, the kid would snitch.

I already had damaged my back and sitting hurt. Sitting still was torture. Needless to say, I got busted. Mr A-hole sadist teacher grabbed a stack!! of lined paper off the shelf, slammed it onto my desk, and informed me I had to write,:" I will not move in my seat."(or similar)

Rather than confront the bastard, my mother helped me wrtie out my punishment. We were up past 10pm. I don';t remember the rest of that year.

I am glad you are calling the Principal. DEMAND this "teacher" be reprimanded and closely supervised, if not outright fired. See that the school board is notified and that something about his sadistic tendancies goes in his personel file. He should not be allowed around children. Period end.
I guess that was a little more than 2 cents worth, but, sadistic teachers really %#@&#! me off. Go Kick *** Mel, Grrrrrrrr!!!!!!!!!
