A die-hard Steelers fan and teacher at Beaver Falls High School made Vannoy, 17, take a midterm test on the floor because he was sporting a John Elway No. 7 jersey. The honors ethnic relations teacher had Vannoy sit in a circle of desks, then instructed his classmates to throw paper at him. The treatment wasn't part of any classroom lesson, his teacher says. He had warned students before not to wear another team's jersey in his classroom. "I was humiliated and shaking. I couldn't finish my test," said Vannoy, a Broncos fan even though he's a native of Pittsburgh Steelers country. Teacher John Kelly thought he was "just messing around" with Vannoy, telling him he couldn't sit at any desk in his class Friday. Vannoy said Kelly grabbed him by the neck of his jersey when he tried to sit in his chair and told him he would give him a zero on the exam if he didn't sit on the floor. Kelly told the 12 other students that part of their midterm was that they had to throw paper at "the stinking Denver fan" - or lose points, he added. "Some threw the paper at me, some threw it at the ground," Vannoy said. Kelly said he didn't threaten Vannoy's grade or grab his shirt. He said that he told students to do those things but that nobody took it seriously. "When you are joking and everyone's laughing, it's obvious," Kelly said. And it's not the first time Kelly has employed the tactic. "I did the same thing last week with one of my ninth-graders who wore Peyton Manning," Kelly said of the Indianapolis Colts quarterback. Principal Thomas Karczewski said a concerned Vannoy later came to his office. Although Vannoy is probably "the only Denver fan in the entire school," Karczewski said he was sure Kelly had no intent to harm him and that it was a joke that went too far. He plans to talk to the teacher Monday, Karczewski said. "If he felt uncomfortable, then that's a lesson; that's what (the class) is designed to do," Kelly said. "It was silly fun. I can't believe he was upset." Vannoy's mother, Virginia, is worried her son will get a lower grade in the class. She wants him to be able to retake the exam.[/quote] Well yes, the teacher did go too far, and now that this has come out in the media, probably will be fired. As he should be, he abused his power. Joke or not, he's the authority figure. These kids are not his buddies, as some high school teachers like to treat them. Although, this kid needs to grow a set. He's 17, he should know that if he wore the Bronco jersey to school, he would be rediculed. And I'm sure he was, over and above this. The teacher though, is the only one he could get back at. So he ran home and told his mommy about it and she got all upset and called the media. You know how much shit I've taken over the years for wearing Bengal gear? Boo-fucking-hoo, I say. Grow up and take it like a man. [img]http://extras.mnginteractive.com/live/media/site36/2006/0122/20060122_122656_0122broncjersey.jpg[/img] Pussy.

MAGICTOUCH Posted January 24, 2006 Report Share Posted January 24, 2006 "When you are joking and everyone's laughing, it's obvious," Kelly said. To a kid getting laughed at by a teacher AND his peers, it is not obvious...how humiliating I live in Clowns territory and if one of my kids teachers pulled a stunt like that, I'm afraid I would go off... Here's a story somewhat related...August 1983, North Central Ohio, Jr. High Football, 99% of kids are Clowns, Cowgirls or Squeelers fans, except for my brother and I, Bengals are off of 2 straight playoff appearances including a Super Bowl...So my brother and I are in a tackling drill with other players and the drill is being run by one of the assistant coaches. One of us makes a mistake, misses a tackle, whatever, and a player says something like, "That's what you get for being a Bengals fan". (HA HA ) . Well, after every turn that we had the players really started laying into us and the icing on the cake was that the assistant coach was laughing just as hard as they were. (CLASS [img]http://forum.go-bengals.com/public/style_emoticons//33.gif[/img] ). Needless to say that my opinion of fans of other teams took a sour turn that day and really I've had to deal with attitudes like that my whole life. But it was fun one time when I was at The University of Akron during our 2nd Super Bowl and wearing a Bengals T-shirt will get you plenty of looks, but they knew they couldn't mouth off because we were in the Super Bowl, and wasn't our home game against the Clowns that year a 21-0 win on Monday Night? Anyways...for that teacher in Pittsburgh, well, to humiliate a student in front of his peers has to come with consequences and especially because it was over something like his choice in NFL teams. How gay can the Squeeler people get? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But, if the kid was in an honors class, he should've been smart enough to handle the situation, and smart enough to know that wearing a Bronco jersey to school that day would have reprocussions. And I'm sure that he got much worse than that when there weren't teachers around. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When I was that age, anyone I knew that had balls enough to do something like that, had balls enough to deal with it. None of the kids that couldn't handle the reprocussions (besides the "special-ed" kids), would have worn the jersey in the 1st place. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest steggyD Posted January 24, 2006 Report Share Posted January 24, 2006 What the hell? No, I am usually for the toughing up of our children. We do treat them like fragile glass anymore, but this is completely out of line. Yeah, the kid may expect to get picked on, even by a teacher. But that usually deserves a simple word or two. Something like, you know your boys are gonna get stomped. But for the teacher to put the kid on display like that, way out of control. And for sports? Come on, that doesn't even matter in the school world. Maybe put the child on display if he fucks up big time on a test. But for sports? I hope that teacher never teaches again... ever. And for you all to call him a pussy? That's not necessary. He took it, but he is not happy with the end results. It didn't say that he cried and ran out of the classroom. He did what he thinks is right. The teacher tells him to do something and he listened. Of course maybe he should've done something different, but he listened. That's what I expect children to do. I know the kids at my children's school are punks and pay no attention to the teachers, and it interferes with my children's learning. I'm glad to see that there are students out there who will listen, yet question the judgement afterwards and bring it to the attention of people they trust even more.
