I remembered this morning an anecdote from my teaching years at Walton. There were two 10th grade boys at my chalkboard diagramming sentences while I was floating around the room checking students' work. Suddenly the whole class burst into laughter and one of the boys screamed! I was shocked and decided that this behavior was intolerable so I took the boys to the administrator in charge. When I 

walked into her office and said that these boys needed to be taken care of immediately, the administrator, Mrs. R, without hesitating, looked at my coldly and said, "Is the infraction on your class rules sheet?-Because if it is not, I cannot support you." I, appalled, looked at her and said, "No, Ma'am, it's not. I don't have on my rule sheet, "Thou shalt not grab another male student by the TESTICLES and SQUEEZE while working grammar exercises!" :)
