I'm pretty certain that that is counted as "not allowed" - but in reality it was just imparting information that you thought they might find interesting.

When I was a doing my teacher training course (I did more than one!) one of my mentors was taking a "difficult" class - aged about 12/13 and they were trying to cause trouble - I was there ot hlep out and observe

It was clear that one kid was the centre of the whole trouble
SO the teacher told me to look after the rest of the class and took the kid outside into the corridor "accidentally" leaving the door wide open

He had a chair with him and made the kid stand on the chair

He had positioned it directly under a beam across the ceiling and - for some reason - some red stains on the floor that had been there for ages and the cleaners couldn't shift

He explained - ina very loud explaining voice - to the kid that the last kid who had caused him this much trouble he had ended up hanging from the beam by his neck and the marks on the floor were cause by the blood from the hanging
apparently the Science department deposed of the body for him


The kid was positively shaking when they came back into the room



and the class worked well with no problems for the rest of the lesson and for every lesson for the next month - when they changed teachers as usual


I was not totally sure that this example was one that was supposed to be used with trainee teacher as an informative technique for application later on in our career
but I did have to be excused and go into the technicians' room for a few minutes to stop laughing


I should mention that I never threatened to harm any pupil in any way whatsoever when I was a teacher - and "what happens in the staff room stays in the staff room"!!

still - some kids etc etc
Wouldn't believe that story, too much wrong with it
Unless the beam was a deep one, they'd never get to the neck. The head lacking suitable anchor points to support the weight.
There's usually only internal bleeding caused by the rope.
The science department helping get rid of the remains is viable. It explains the various displays of body parts in various glass cabinets, and the ready supply of various samples used in the lessons.

Back from installing the printer. A bit of a challenge as the laptop is ancient and slow as treacle. Loads of annoying popups from the usual anti virus vendors but got there in the end.
A nice sunny day, battery is at 100% and 15kW exported to the grid ☀️

Ah, but you are a worldly wise old fart who knows about stuff. Not a spotty, hormone fuelled teenager who is willing to believe anything.😁

Worse than that - there was no gap between the beam and the ceiling!!!!

which made it funnier
