Several students still have visible scrapes and blisters on their knees and palms. Parents say some of the fifth graders were being rowdy in the halls and started making cat noises at teachers.
As punishment, the entire class was taken to the track and told to get on their hands and knees. "It was painful because the track was hot and it was rough and it was tearing our skin and it was burning," said student Madison Phillips.
Four teachers were involved in the incident on the track. The superintendent's office says the district will get to the bottom of what happened, but it's unclear at this point if there will be any sort of punishment.

I don't mind if they do this more often. Kids are little turds sometimes.
It seems appropriate except for the hot track. Grass would have been less physically painful.
Teachers are the turds. Virtually all of mine in the fifties and sixties were sarcastic sadists. They deserve all they get.
I think making them run laps would have been more appropriate.
Clearly the educators understand 'making a lesson out of someone".
So. Cut their pensions by 1%, and see how much longer corporeal punsihment is applied by amateurs.
