Sometimes the administration needs to be reminded they're only nominally in charge. We had a lunch lady slap a girl across the face in 6th grade for no good goddamn reason. She was piled on by an even dozen 6th graders. The principal had to pull a few of us off. Strangely enough, the lunch lady was dismissed and nothing ever happened to any of the kids. The Principal apparently decided to just let the sands of time forget... but the lunch ladies were a lot more circumspect for the rest of the year. My wife led a protest against one of her professor in med school. They wanted the professor to stop belittling and insulting students in the middle of lecture. The professor was given an ultamatum: take your meds or face dismissal. Things were a lot more pleasant for the remaining years; my wife even TA'd a couple of the professor's courses.
