As you may know by now, Tik-Tok and its trends tend to spread like wildfire. A recent, school-related trend that had quickly picked up in popularity is the #SlapATeacher.

   The whole idea of this trend was you walk up to either your teacher or another school staff member, slap them on the rear, and run off, all while recording the process. It’s simple enough, but it’s still a crime that could lead participants of this trend into getting arrested.

   An alternative of this trend some people have decided to use is instead of on the rear, slap your teacher on the head. You can still face jail time for slapping someone on the head, but the punishment will most likely be less severe than if you had slapped them on the behind, which is considered sexual harassment.

   Some teachers have even taken this issue into their own hands, by slapping these students back in self-defense, or, as Tik-Tok user ‘comediangus’ has decided to after a student tried to slap him for the trend, claimed he proceeded to shove said student into a trashcan.

   Unfortunately, these teachers most likely ended up facing more discipline than the students did.
