Read the room
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?

I can’t help but feel like there were several steps you missed here, such as “warn him that you’ll throw him out of the lecture if he keeps it up” and “following through”.
