OLATHE, Kan. - A high school student convicted of battery for vomiting on his Spanish teacher has been ordered to spend the next four months cleaning up after people who throw up in police cars.
Johnson County Magistrate Judge Michael Farley said during the sentencing Tuesday that he considered the boy’s actions “an assault upon the dignity of all teachers.”
The teen, now 17, vomited on teacher David Young as he turned in his textbook on the last day of classes at Olathe Northwest High School. His attorney, Brian Costello, said the student vomited because he was nervous about his final exams.
But two other students testified that the teen said he threw up intentionally. One girl said he told her in advance that he planned to throw up on Young on the last day of school. The girl wasn’t in class when the teen threw up, but she testified that the boy later told her, “You missed it. I did it.”
Young said the student, who was failing his class, made no effort to avoid throwing up on him. “I was just sort of stunned,” he said.

As a substitute teacher at a local high school I had a kid that was making himself throw up in the trash can. When I asked him to stop he said no. I demanded that he take it outside. He then told me he was going to throw up on me. I told him I would kick the !@%$ out of him if he tried it. I'll tell you what I wouldn't have hesitated to drop this kid if he tried it. I consider that assault with a deadly weapon, who knows what kind of diseases he might have had, and I would have acted accordingly. I knew as a teacher I was going to have to put up with a certain amount of crap, but not that.
Security came along after he went outside and took him away.
You have to wonder what kind of adult those kids are going to turn into.
"A high school student convicted of battery for vomiting on his Spanish teacher has been ordered to spend the next four months cleaning up after people who throw up in police cars."
Great solution to a rotten and spoiled kid. He needed to learn a lesson about "cause and effect...and about being responsible for his actions."
That case happened only about 15 miles south of where I live.
Over 33 yrs in the classroom as a teacher I had the full gamut of kinds of student behavior. Wasn't much I didn't see at one time or another.
But...by and large, I believe that my students were well behaved. They learned quickly what was acceptable...and what wasn't. It was a matter of being clear on what was expected and then being consistent in my enforcement with no partiality.

you got that right Ruf, behavior like that would have got me a beating that i would still be feeling today. not for a second can you punish a kid like that today, that'll just earn you time being locked up. i'm lucky, i have never had to physically disipline my kids, never let em get that far out of hand to warrant it. while i do belive that the odd kid is born with a head full of bad wiring that you just cant do anything about, i also believe that is a very rare thing. almost every problem child could have been set straight at home, that is where it begins. be it neglect, too much discipline, too little discipline, whatever you want to call it, that is where it started. it the kid is too much of a handfull for the parents, they should recognize this and get help. it is in their hands. the judge is on the right track, i applaud his decision.

I remember once in High School, I got a nice ride in the back of a County Sheriff's car. They took me home, in cuffs, to my mom and dad. I was picked up for a violation on a city bus, it was really no big deal, but they were teaching me a lesson I think. I could have been fined and jailed if they pressed the matter, but they took me home.
All the way home all I could think about was the approaching time when I had to face my dad. Jail seemed like a reprieve from justice! I feared the discipline from my parents more than the police!
Now mom and dad were not bad people or bad parents, far from it. But they did not spare the rod, and dad was a firm disciplinarian!
You are right, parents today do not give a !!!! about their kids and usually accuse everyone else for their kids problems.
The punishment fits.....and it is a crime by law. This is our next generation, No respect. I am not saying all kids are bad. Just different when I was growing up. Lady Di
