High School Student's Foul Smell Ruins Teachers Lesson Plan


CLINTON TWP. — A 16-year-old Clinton Township boy faces disorderly charges for causing a disgusting smell in his classroom during mid-term exams at North Hunterdon High School, police reported last night. According to police, the teen was in class at North Hunterdon on Monday and asked to use the bathroom. The boy then took a carry-out style coffee mug with a screw-on cap with him to the nurses’ office bathroom. The boy defecated in the mug, screwed the cap on, and returned to the classroom where he unscrewed the lid, and “this caused a disruption in the classroom,” police said. Detective Thomas Hash, the Clinton Township Police Department school resource officer, will be issuing the boy a juvenile complaint for disorderly conduct.

Sometimes as a teacher you just have to sit back and admire the young creative minds of your students, and hope that your teaching in some way inspired  and fostered their development.  This is not one of those times.

As a teacher this is the absolute low point, time to get your resume together and start searching for a new career. Kids don't even pull this kinda shit (pun intended) with student teachers. 

No matter how great a teacher you are, there are always going to be class clowns, punks, smart asses, dumb asses, smug stuck up pricks, over achievers, and underachievers, all equally difficult to deal with in their own ways. It comes with the territory. 

What doesn't come with the territory is having a kid have so much resentment and built up contempt for you that he chooses to poop in a coffee mug during your class.  He has such low respect for you and your exam that instead of studying he sat at home thinking of the perfect way, and I do mean perfect, to release his own personal form of bio terrorism on your class. The kid Macgyvered the shit (again, pun completely intended) out of this little ruse.  It's not even like you can say he did this to get out of the exam, he clearly has the brains to pass a test, he simply just did not give a shit for this teacher and couldn't hold it in any longer. It was time to air out his grievances and that's exactly what he did.
