Even without having a "slap a teacher" incident, U.S. districts appear to be releasing statements as premature warnings.
"Unfortunately, the challenge that has been put out for this month is to slap or hit a staff member from behind," the district reported on its ‘School District Safety & Transportation’ page. "Sadly, we actually had an elementary student assault a teacher by striking her in the back of the head. The rumored 'slap a teacher' dare is an insult to educators everywhere.

"This type of behavior just like theft and destruction of property is not a prank. It’s criminal behavior.
"Any student who physically assaults a staff member will be held responsible both legally and by board policy. Assault on a staff member is an expellable offense which means the student is removed from the school for the rest of the year," the post added.
