I Thought Girls Like to Wear Bows in Their Hair

Critics can be tough:

BOULDER, Colo. - A substitute music teacher has been arrested after allegedly whacking a 10-year-old student on the head with a viola bow after telling the class they were "the worst players I've ever heard."

Times have changed. When I was in junior high, my band director would get made and throw his baton at the offending player, but nobody even thought about filing a complaint. I guess he and his students are all lucky he didn't stab somebody with it.
