A Delta School District spokesman says the high school English teacher who punished a tardy student by letting other students hit him has resigned.
The Aurora Daily Sentinel reports that Delta School District spokesman John Jones indicated that 22-year-old teacher Brian Havel is no longer at the school.
The teacher is facing child abuse charges for allegedly telling students to beat up another student who was late for class.
Delta police say the incident began after 22-year-old teacher Brian Havel ordered the student to do 100 push-ups as punishment for being late. Havel then allegedly told other students to hit their fellow classmate for not completing the push-ups.
It's unknown whether Havel still works at the high school. He has an unlisted phone number and could not be reached for comment.
He will appear in court next month.

The kid who was late deserved his pumishment. That kid is over exagerating.Like kids are realy going to go beat a kid for being late. They were just messing around. The kid took this to seriously. This kid is stupid. It is his falt for being tarty. The person who needs to be punished is the kid.NOT Mr.Havel! I know Mr.Havel. I was one of Mr.havels students. He is a great teacher. He dosnt need this type of punishment! And if you have a problem with what i wrote then email me at VansSkater2006@aol.com
K and Someone, Look back to the "Golden Years" when this type of punishment was tolerated. Back then, you could do buisness on a hand shake! imagine trying to do that now. The fact is people had much more integrity and discilpine when we weren't worried about being a little severe in our punishments. if the punishment is a phone call to mom and dad for a kid that keeps disrupting class, that student will continue to disrupt class to see how far it can be taken. If the punishment for disrupting class is a paddle on the backside, that student and others will think twice before doing it, even once!
If it was my kid that he did this to, I'd praise Mr. Havel. What scares me about our public schools is what they teach to the kids. No public/private schools for my kids. They're going to be home-schooled so that they can get a proper education.
