“A Philadelphia school teacher is under investigation for allegedly throwing a stapler that struck a student in the head. The mother of a 15-year-old boy said she took him to The Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia where he received four stitches in his forehead Friday afternoon.
School district spokesman Fernando Gallard confirms that the male teacher threw the stapler when his class became unruly. Gallard said the stapler bounced off a wall and struck the student.”

Getting conked on the head with a stapler is like a kiss on the cheek compared to the teacher’s smack on the wrist with a ruler or the vice-principal’s whack on the butt with a paddle. That’s what a lot of kids had to deal with when I went to school back in the Stone Age.
I have no sympathy for the young punk who got hit with the stapler, he got exactly what he deserved. According to the kid’s own mother, the incident happened when her young troublemaker was passing the classroom and stopped at the door to chat with a pal.
Kids today get away with murder, when I attended high school I couldn’t speak in class without first raising my hand. If I was walking down the hallway and stopped at a classroom to chat with a buddy, I would have been suspended.
The doctor should have used the stapler to close the student’s wound.
