School Teacher Shocks Everyone By Removing All Their Desks To Prove A Point

Shock tactics have divided opinion for many years. While I’m very much in the ‘means to an end’ school of thought, I can appreciate that some people maybe upset or troubled by shock tactics. However, that’s not necessarily a bad thing.

I was what you’d call a wayward youth. Constantly suspended from school. In trouble at home. And numerous minor skirmishes with the law. One of the most important days in my trajectory was when I was getting told off for being mean to a kid in my History class.
