WASHINGTON — A principal and her elementary school are under investigation after Montgomery County schools confirm she set up a “smash space” designed for teachers to relieve stress by using baseball bats on a broken rocking chair.
In a letter to parents, Kensington Parkwood Elementary School Principal Barbara Leiss apologized for setting up the space on school grounds. Leiss’ letter indicates the space was set up on March 8.
“I got the idea after reading some business articles that discussed companies providing items to be smashed as a way to reduce stress. This was a lapse in judgment,” Leiss wrote.

ReplyDeleteThe Japanese have (or used to have) rooms where employees in large companies can beat up an effigy of their boss to relieve stress.
ReplyDeleteWhat the hell is wrong with this idea? If you want to go smash something and relieve stress in this world full of idiots then by all means every job place should have one. It's better then going to a shrink and then being put on meds.
ReplyDeleteWell if it keeps them from wanting to choke the living crap out of the kids they are trying to teach, then maybe its a good thing.
