Where the crap "just keep(s) coming, like the punishing fists of a well-conditioned boxer when the bellman has fallen asleep." -- Quote stolen from Mickey
Jeez. I wouldn't even begin to know how to handle a kid like that. Good for you for keeping your cool, as I undoubtedly would have screamed and run for my life, leaving the other little hoodlums to fend for themselves.
I think you should stick with "fictionalized" no matter what - most parents wouldn't want to know that teachers could (and would) make stand-up routines out of their kids daily lives.

As long as you're partially fictionalizing, I say you give us a good chair-fighting scene.

Julie, I think you're reading a little too much into the symbolism of the joke.
