Teen Sentenced To Clean Up Puke After Vomiting On Teacher

OLATHE, Kan. -- A Kansas high school student convicted of battery for puking on his Spanish teacher will spend the next four months cleaning up after people who throw up in a police car. A judge said Tuesday at sentencing that he considered the incident an assault on the dignity of all teachers. The teen vomited on the teacher on the last day of classes at Olathe Northwest High School, outside Kansas City. The boy's lawyer said his client had been nervous about his final exams but other students testified he'd planned it in advance. The teacher said he felt "sort of stunned" when it happened, and notes the student was failing his class.
