A school district spokesman blamed the boy's injuries on the teacher's bad judgment rather than any malice.?
Yippee-ki-yay, school instructor.
A history teacher in North Texas reportedly lassoed a seventh-grade student and bruised his neck in class Monday, alarming parents, disappointing school officials and confusing everyone else.
The unidentified man - who gives new meaning to rope-a-dope - brought the long lasso to Schrade Middle School in Rowlett for an unorthodox lesson. He was attempting to share his knowledge of lasso techniques for cattle drives with the children.

"He was visiting with the students, telling the students about how cowboys would corral maverick steers back into the herd," Chris Moore, a school district spokesman, told Dallas/Fort Worth-based station WFAA.
The cowboy wannabe asked several students to run around as if they were rowdy animals - the sort of fun game that comes naturally to children a few years younger. But when he tried to rope them in, the fun and games took a serious turn.
"This is not something that we feel was malicious -- it was not intent," said Moore. "Extremely unfortunate, and extremely poor judgment."

A 13-year-old student emerged from the half-baked history lesson with neck marks, which only worsened the next day. His parents were shocked that a teacher would lasso a child in the classroom.
The teacher was trying to bring history to life for students; instead, he brought disciplinary action to life against himself.
The Garland Independent School District suspended the teacher and started investigating the incident. School officials said the teacher feels remorse and promised to never lasso a child again.
The Rowlett Police Department is considering criminal charges for injury to a child.
