Story here. Excerpt:

'TROY -- The parents of a Troy 5th grader were shocked when their son told them his teacher told him to lick his desk clean after he was caught drawing on it in February. Since then his parents said they’ve attempted to go through proper channels within the district to get the teacher reprimanded, but were unsuccessful.

“I said ‘we can end all this by her going in front of the class with my son and apologizing for her actions’ he [the principal] says’ that would be a directive. I cannot give a directive and it wouldn't be sincere’ and I said ‘is that all you're going to do?’ and he said ‘well basically we’ve handled it, it's confidential’. Point blank,” said George Spencer, the boy’s father.

The Spencer’s had their son transferred to another class, but say he is struggling with the transition, especially in math. The problems also worsened after they allege the teacher asked the students in his old class not to speak to their son. They said the principal stepped in and spoke to the class at the parent’s request, but the parents wanted action taken against the teacher for the original incident.'

I once saw a kid in grade school get caught drawing on a desk. They were not typical drawings, more X-rated. Anyway, he got caught, and was in a lot of trouble. After a good bawling at by the principal, he was given a rag and spray bottle and told to clean not just that desk but abt 20 others.

He never doodled on a desk again.

It could have been that easy. But does anyone think a doodling girl would've had quite the same punishment this boy had?
