slow news week...

but this next story will hopefully knock you out.

To preface this, I know of at least one art teacher that would have done this in my class.

It would appear that David Adam Grant, an art teacher at Sundland Elementary School, struck an 8-year old for an unspecified reason. They say only that he "hit the eight-year-old student around his left eye with a loosely closed fist, causing a bruise over the right eye."

While I commend Grant for turning himself in (at least he didn't try to justify it by saying that the student made him do it, like the teacher in Tampa who says he smoked weed because he needed it to deal with his students), I would like to point out that this testimony doesn't actually make sense.

So here's to aggressive art teachers and twisted testimony, and HOORAY FLORIDA!
