HONG KONG, China - Detention, clapping erasers, and writing
on the chalkboard are all common punishments for not doing
one's homework. Not in this case. When a former student,
identified only as Mr. T, neglected to do his homework and
showed up late for class, his teacher demanded he complete
his homework outside his office for nine consecutive days.
The punishment reportedly drove Mr. T crazy. He claims to
have begun to hear voices and thought he was the devil at
one point. Now 23, the student is suing the teacher and
college. Judge Muttrie ruled in favor of the student and
surmised that the teacher should have been concerned for Mr.
T when he became withdrawn. The judge said, "The punishment
caused Mr. T, who was previously normal, to become a schizo-
phrenic." The court officially stated the teacher and college
did not properly care for the student.
