OLATHE, Kan. -- A Kansas student faces a misdemeanor charge after throwing up on his Spanish teacher on the last day of school.

Johnson County, Kan., prosecutors have charged the boy with battery against a school teacher, and ordered him to juvenile court on July 1.

The boy's father said he believes what his son told him -- that the stress of final exams made him ill.

But the boy's teacher at Olathe Northwest, David Young, called the youngster's actions "outrageous," and said he's pleased with the support he's received.

8. I don't get it.

Did he purposely vomit on his teacher? And if he did, is that really a battery? Whatever? There's a first for everything!

Caramba, ¿Por qué enseñan español en Kansas? Estarán esperando la llegada de los cubanos fidelistas como en aquella película.

Pulling a little extra credit ploy for the kid,

15. I dunno, I've had a couple of students over the years

that could vomit on command. I guess I'd have to wonder whether this was one of them and he did it just to be a shit. It's not out of the question.
