Skinny and Ichabod-like, Herman hated Val, the dreamboat. His teaching methods baffled everyone. Val questioned an explanation; Herman hurled chalk. Swearing clouded the air; students booed.
“Get the principal,” someone said.
“You’re crazed. Take your hooks offa me.”
Herman hoisted Val by the scruff, like refuse, onto a coat hook.

If he can’t keep his hands off his pupils, let’s hope he’s fired on the spot.
Statistically, I think those who are ridiculous-looking or ugly tend to be victims of violence, not the perpetrators. We’ve just learnt the association of virtue with good looks, and evil with bad – remember the witches? As we “learn” this through stories, maybe it’s best to avoid reinforcing negative stereotypes?

Thank you, Delft. You make a good point. I don`t make it my mission to pick on any type and don`t consciously reinforce negative stereotypes. Since you bring it up, I shall be more aware.

We used to have a teacher who would throw tennis balls at someone who talked during class, but he was such a bad aim that whenever he went to throw the ball we all ducked since who knows where it would go. Kept us on our toes, but I don’t think I learned much from him. Too busy ducking.
