Today, I was teaching and a boy sitting in front kept laughing and smiling, even after I asked him to cut it out. I got so annoyed that I jokingly said I'd knock his teeth out, and asked him to leave the class. The kid went to the principal and told him I intended to hurt him. I'm a college professor. FML

Principal? What the hell kind of college has a high-school administration? At a real college, the kid would complain to your department chair or the dean.

Why « joking » about hitting him?
