Notice the age of this guy. He is barely old enough to drink. Is it really that surprising that someone so young would pull an immature stunt like this?

Nevada, I have to disagree with you - age has nothing to do with it. It's a sensitivity/kindness issue. Blaming it on age is selling some very good young people short. I would be more concerned about this teacher instructing spec ed children as they require constant esteem-building, approval and encouragement.
Reagrding the age thing, let me tell you a little story concerning my older daughter (an honor student thoughout HS and college and a good kid to boot). She was in an automobile accident when she was 17. It was a rainy night; she told me she had stopped at a stop sign, looked both ways then continued; car came around bend at high speed from other direction; they hit. The other car owner's insurance company said they had witnesses that saw her go through the stop sign without stopping; And they said these witnesses were OLDER ADULTS. Implication - who do you believe - older adults or a 17 year old. This infuriated me. Honesty is not an age thing either.
