what would you do if your child tells you that his teacher has been "shooting" pupils in class?

(with an apparent toy gun and rubber pellets). I was greatly disturbed by this, but my child found it amusing?

Update:

r u sure about that benjamin? do u think the teacher is setting a good example? Google the words "Dunblaine" and "Columbine" and see what my point is.

    ...Kids will find it amusing... firing off rubber-bands a spit balls and stuff like that will always give the kids a giggle. Realistically, the Teacher is an IDIOT ! He/she is extolling a negative behavior that will eventually come back to "bite" him/her ! Call the School and talk with the Principal and voice your concern. (or) take the kid to Wal Mart and buy them a "squirt" gun.

    there is a ZERO tolerance for guns in schools which usually includes fake ones. I would report this at once, the teacher should know better (unless you really really like this teacher because this may be automatic firing, in that case call the teacher and tell them what you heard from your son and to cut it out if it is true.)

    Hah. It is amusing. My teacher also does something similar with a Nerf gun. It isn't like he is just shooting random people though, he aims for people who are sleeping or texting.

    Really isn't something to worry about.
