A substitute teacher in a fifth-grade science class at an elementary school in Rosh Ha'ayin, Israel, threw a sponge ball at students, hitting them in the head after they disrupted the lesson. The incident occurred when students were significantly disruptive and did not comply with the teacher's requests for quiet. The teacher had initially warned that anyone not quiet would be hit in the head with the ball, according to a message sent by the homeroom teacher to parents. Following the incident, the homeroom teacher met with the school principal and the substitute teacher. It was clarified to the teacher that even if his actions were intended as a joke, it was not an appropriate way to handle disruption. An agreement was reached that the teacher would address the class about the incident.
