heh heh, I had a band director in Jr. High that would throw erasers and sometimes his baton (the little stick they swing around for you non-music people
). Not AT people, just in general directions of people when they were annoying him
It was all in good fun though I think....well....I mean he was mad....but not meaning any harm at least
I never thought it was abusive or anything like that, although I do know a lot of people thought he was "harsh" and things like that. I think he was just demanding and wasn't afraid to tell you what he thought of you
He was certainly not a fan of "lovey-dovey" teaching.
