Thursday, December 11, 2009. Numb Nuts in order to punish, correct, the behavior of Ba Ba Booey in the cafeteria made the student clean the cafeteria. Is this not corporal punishment? I know that as a teacher that we can't make a student write repetitively, stand in one place for a long time, or cause undue duress.

Now, Ba Ba Booey's mom came in pissed to the hilt on Thursday. She went to meet with John Deacon, but John Deacon would not deal with her. John Deacon sent for Numb Nuts. Numb Nuts is the reason the mom is there. John Deacon is the leader of the school. Why is not John Deacon being a leader?

But there are bigger questions. Why is Numb Nuts unable to control a lunch room that consists of only three, yes THREE, classes? It is not as if he is alone. He does have several aides to assist him. But here is the more serious question and one that will never, ever be answered. How many corporal punishment allegations need to be made against Numb Nuts for someone to see the light? When will something be done? When a student is seriously injured? If that is when, it will be too late.

As mentioned earlier, The Big O is in the rubber room for accidentally having his hand come in contact with a student's face. The student was out of his seat. The Big O was teaching with back turned writing on the board. When The Big O turned around to reach for something, contact was made. IT WAS AN ACCIDENT! He gets sent to the rubber room, but Numb Nuts continuously, and not by mistake, manhandles children and what happens to him? He gets rewarded like George Tenent, et al. did for leading us into a f***ed up war.

John Deacon really truly needs The Big O. Anything less and it is not real.

Several weeks ago I wrote how The Dude had his shirt torn by Numb Nuts. You can read more about it here. It seems I did not have the entire story, and for that I apologize. It is worse.

The Dude was being The Dude out in the yard. Numb Nuts grabbed The Dude by his forearm and led The Dude approximately 200 feet from the yard to the cafeteria. Whilst holding onto the aforementioned forearm The Dude noticed that his fingers were turning blue and that "pins and needles" feeling in his hand. I am not a medical doctor nor a scientist but to the layperson this seems to indicate some sort of loss of circulation to the hand. The Dude feeling uncomfortable attempted to pull away and Numb Nuts did not let go which then resulted in the tearing of The Dude's shirt and The Dude falling to the ground. The Dude immediately reported this to John Deacon who at no time asked the nurse to check on The Dude and then the subsequent cover up of the incident. Oh one more thing. There was another student there being held as well by Numb Nuts, The Detroit Lions Kid. I wonder if John Deacon got a statement from this child. I doubt it.

So there you have it. Numb Nuts is still there. No OSI investigation, no Rubber Room, no nothing. Meanwhile The Big O is in the Rubber Room because he accidentally touched his hand to the face of another student. Go figure.

The Big O is toast. He was sent to the Rubber Room today for a corporal punishment allegation. Notice the key word there? Allegation. This is the second teacher that happens to have a ding dong that has been sent to the Rubber Room thus far in this three month school year. Looks like the only way to not incur John Deacon's wrath if you are a male at my school is to become a eunuch.

I find it funny that The Big O is being sent away on an alleged charge. But I can see why. The Big O has been elusive to John Deacon. In fact I doubt if John Deacon has ever had the pleasure of truly knowing The Big O. John Deacon might think John Deacon knows The Big O, but it was a faux Big O, not the real Big O. I think if John Deacon took the time to relax, become more familiar with how The Big O works, John Deacon would have been a lot more relaxed and smiled quite more often. John Deacon is now left to having to finger around in the dark looking for The Big O in all the wrong places.

Has anyone noticed the irony here? The incompetence, the hypocrisy, the corporal punishment allegedly committed by others continues to go unabated, unchecked, unnoticed, uncalled for. Numb Nuts can drag students through the hall, tear students shirts and what happens? Nothing. The administration can pressure a mother to sign off on her child's IEP and this is considered ethical? John Deacon can break every state education law, violate chancellor's regulations and nothing happens. If teachers, especially tenured ones, are not allowed to make mistakes or errors what then of administrators? The principals were given all this power, all this freedom. Fine. But who is watching them? Where is the oversight? Absolute power corrupts absolutely.

This morning I played some two hand touch football with the guys at the local high school. Several of the guys are teachers in the Bronx. In fact the guy who invited me to play, Lex Luthor, a good friend of mine is a teacher and he invited his assistant principal to play with us.

Can you imagine Numb Nuts playing football with the guys? Anyway, I got into a conversation with the grown up AP and put forth to him the scenario concerning when the Big O went to go pee pee. He explained that he has the mental capacity to understand that one would not take a plan book with them to make a pee pee. That at worst, he would wait until after the pee pee is deposited and then ask for the lesson plans once the person is back in the classroom. Wow, as Robin Williams says, "reality, what a concept!" I guess this AP doesn't feel that he has some major physical shortcoming to make up for and feels confidant in his ability to do the job.

I wonder how if he drags students through the halls. Nah!
