Oh, Naut... She didn't take a full swing at him, just a kind of glancing backhand. And she did get fired, even though she worked out her contract until the end of the year...

Sorry, folks - you're wrong!
Alfie did not get 'what he deserved!' I came back to check whether that had been a baseball bat - I couldn't believe it, but it was! While I am not in favor of current policies when teachers are afraid even to defend themselves when attacked by a student, that woman's action was outrageous! If I had been his parent, she would have been charged with assault!

That's the way it was then.
There is no comparison to now.

Re: Nautikos, it wasn't a baseball bat, was it?
Yes it was. Lucky thing she had it in her left hand, and didn't get a full swing...
