MANCHESTER, Mo. -- A music teacher who twice ordered a seven-year-old pupil to hit himself in the head with drum mallets will not return to the Parkway School District next year.The incident happened on Feb. 9 in teacher Paul Provencio's music class at Carman Trails Elementary School in suburban St. Louis.State officials say the 36-year-old teacher intended the head-banging as a lesson to Justin Barricklow about hitting the drums too hard.The Missouri Department of Social Services investigated the case at the request of the boy's father, Scott Barricklow, who works as a groundskeeper for the Parkway district.Provencio has since apologized. School officials called the incident "unprofessional and totally inappropriate."
