Principle suspened

LIVINGSTON, Mont. — A high school principal received a six-day suspension and a letter of reprimand for giving one of his students a wedgie.

Eric Messerli pulled a Park High School senior's soccer jersey over his head and yanked upward on the waistband of the boy's underwear at a soccer game Oct. 5. Other school officials said he was joking around with the student and did it playfully.

He was suspended for two days without pay and four days with pay before the school board decided Monday to let him return. He tearfully told the board: "I've made mistakes in my life, but none have had the impact that this one has had."

Messerli, who was back on the job Tuesday, will be required to talk with students and staff members about the incident to restore respect and authority.

He said his first reaction was to resign, but he decided to "tackle this mess" head on.

"I want to live in a world where we don't have to hide when we screw up," he said.

What an idiot. Guess the board cracked down on him.

No kidding!

OKay maybe it was a little unprofessional but I think they were in s sports setting which lends to a different atmosphere than say the school hallway.

To make such a big deal out of it, is a prime example of what is wrong with the Public schools.

The fact that most kids are not at grade level in the 3 "R"s is not really something to take action about but a wedgy is.

Last week we had a student get out of control in the Principles office to the point where Police had to be called. The student ended up spiting in the Assistant Principles face... She reacted by slapping the student and is now on suspension until the outcome is decided.

Such is the fruit of any monopoly.
