If we recall our trig class correctly, putting one's hoodied-head down on their desk in the universal symbol for "I'm tired and don't care so please leave me alone." Competent math teachers ignored these students, while others, such David Pecoraro at Beach Channel High School in Rockaway, spit on the student in retaliation. "I was just teaching him the transssssssssative property, honest!"
Pecoraro's excuse? “That kid stuck a piece of gum that he had previously chewed and placed onto his desk and onto my rear end—he put it into my mouth and I was spitting it out," he tells the Daily News. That kid should probably be studying with David Blaine if he can make a piece of chewed gum suddenly appear in a grown man's mouth. Or maybe there's a simpler explanation: “That dude has some bad breath,” a 15-year-old student tells the paper.
See, Pecoraro just needed to keep the gum that was forced into his mandible by a teenager for a few seconds to correct his halitosis. Although Pecoraro does make $100,049 a year, which buys plenty of Five gum. He's been reassigned to an administrative office pending an investigation.
