Shut The Fuck Up, Kids, Or I’ll Fucking Stab You

Everyone thinks disciplining students is difficult. Not when you get creative:

A gym teacher at a Queens high school threatened to slash his students with a knife after they refused to take part in a military-style workout session, police said yesterday.

Cops said teacher Mark Omeltchenko, 45, became frustrated when two girls, ages 14 and 15, at Aviation HS refused to participate in a cardiovascular workout conducted by a visiting military instructor.

When the two students didn’t want to do a “crab walk” exercise, Omeltchenko came out of his office with a serrated knife and allegedly said, “I’m going to cut you if you don’t do it,” sources said.

He then allegedly approached one of the rebellious students and made a threatening gesture with the knife, as if he were going to draw the dull side against her wrist.

“He just placed the knife on my arm, he said to go do it, if you don’t, I’ll flip it [to the sharp side],” Denise Aguiler, 14, told The Post.

“I just told him, ‘Mister, I’m not scared’ — but at the same time, I was scared.”

The students then complied with Omeltchenko’s order and went through with the exercise.

Of course they then went and had administrators call the cops. Kids just never learn, do they?
