He’d get an A for stupidity.
A Texas history teacher has been suspended after lassoing a student during class, leaving the teen with bruises and rope marks around his neck.
The 7th grade teacher at Schrade Middle School in Rowlett, Texas, was trying to teach lasso techniques cowboys used in cattle drives, according to ABC affiliate Houston News8.
Then he called for volunteers.
The 13-year-old who put his hand up started running and the teacher promptly roped him.
The student’s parents complained when they saw the bruises and the teacher was immediately suspended. The Garland Independent School District launched an investigation and Rowlett police are looking at possible criminal charges.
“This is not something that we feel was malicious, it was not intentional,” Garland Independent School District spokesman Chris Moore told News8.
“Extremely unfortunate, and extremely poor judgment.”
The teacher has promised never to use a lasso in class again.
