Michigan has a lot of great teachers and principals in schools but some are more friendly than others. With groups of kids coming in and out of classes and with all the different personalities teachers deal with, kids are bound to get disciplined for doing something wrong.

Did you ever act up in class and the punishment was the teacher telling you to put your head down? Oh, the shame but times were simpler when I was growing up and kids didn't get as wild at school as they do today. Many of today's schools have metal detectors, security cameras, and some armed security or police presence. Schools have more ways to catch students doing things wrong and should make sure they are right.

Student Forced to Clean Up Someone Else's Urine & Mom is Pissed

According to WXYZ, a 9-year-old boy attending a Utica elementary school was allegedly told by a substitute teacher to clean up urine on the floor with a paper towel since he was the last one to use the bathroom. The child's mother said her son was upset and when she asked him what was wrong he said, "Mom, the teacher made me get a paper towel and clean somebody's pee up."

The mother said her son was humiliated and embarrassed. When she spoke with the school principal who was substituting for her son's teacher, the principal allegedly said, "It wasn't a custodian's job to clean up the bathroom." That statement would make any parent infuriated.
