I agree with that, the school has to take responsibility for the child when they are in their care, legally speaking they assume "loco parentis".
For the teacher to allow the kids to play that game then leave the classroom is deploarbale IMO. SHouldn of even let them play that game due to the choking hazards anyway, i hope he never teaches again.
I see a distinct difference between a kid getting bruises on the playground and being told by the teacher to stuff as many marshmellows in your mouth as possible and then speak. The teacher has a position of authority and when they say something the kids will usually follow instructions.
