@MommaC - What is a backside? Against popular belief, it is not you fat *ss. It is your back all the way down. You find a spinal cord on the back, unless if you are abnormal or an alien.
@Maratachelete - we do not sue for the fun of it, it is about getting compensation for rights that were violated. Get someone to break your spine then see if it is funny not being able to walk.
@Chichi7 @papamasentlelebonolo - You are really disappointing! Are you saying the department should get away with destroying this person's life? What if it was your child? The department must be held vicariously liable for the misdeeds of their cruel and reckless teachers regardless of how long it takes.
"He alleges that the teacher hit him seven times on his buttocks"
Now unless your backside is between your shoulder blades, it stands to reason that it was not on the spinal cord - unless he had a tail back then. Report Abuse

The words, backside, buttocks, rear end, arse, posterior etc are all interchangeable within the English language. Your back, however, is simply your back Report Abuse

now where in my comment did i say dept must get away with this? I simply asked where the pupil was all these years to come and complain now.
secondly, he was whipped on the butt and his spine got injured? Is he saying that if he was whipped on the hand, his should would have been injured too?
If you are going to lie about something, make sure all angles are covered properly and try and do it in good time.
@FreedyG. That's so funny. @Legrado. When you're poor you're unlikely to take such a drastic action until you're well advised, encouraged and supported. Report Abuse
