When I was in university, I had a math teacher that brought extra chalk to class everyday because if he saw you on your phone, he'd snap a piece off and throw it at you pretty damn hard. Maybe that wouldn't exactly work in a high school but damn if Dr Murphy didn't have me paying attention in that class.


It's "literal violence" now and you'd get sued and lose your job.


That being called "literal violence" is one thing, but now a teacher telling a student "you should be ashamed with yourself" is also called "literal violence."
