When third graders attack.....

[lvpets2002]

I saw a little video of this, apparently the teacher scolded one of the students (I think for standing on a chair) so these students plotted to handcuff the teacher and stab her.

Gosh Jenn whats this world coming too.. These are such babies.. When (a long time ago) I was that age you had toys & dolls & playing on the brain.. We sure did not even think of knives & attaching people on our minds..

How did they find this plot out? Did the kids actually attack the teacher or did someone squeal?

Kids are a lot older at that age then they were when I was that age. They see too much too soon on tv, movies, and videos.

I believe that another student told a teacher that one of the kids had brought the knife to school. I agree, kids are much older now then when I was that age...and the violence on tv and video games has just gotten out of hand.

...Where are these children's parents?! How on Earth would your child taking a steak knife to school escape your attention??

That's such a shame! IMO the teacher didn't even do anything wrong

They could just shove it in their backpack, I never did morning backpack checks!

This is so horrible.

I wonder if these children will ever be able to return to the public school system. If I had kids I would never want them anywhere near these ones, and I can't imagine many parents would be comfortable with them around.

And their parents are WHERE????? I would hold them accountable for their kid's actions and I would also suspend/expel all guilty parties. Or....better yet, have them spend 24 hours in a prison cell (not a holding cell) where they have a whole night to listen to the creepiness that goes on in those kinds of places.

Sounds so unbelieveable. How old would they be, 8 or 9?

I know it's no excuse but, so many couples have both working full time
jobs to make ends meet nowadays. Nobody seems to have the time to
properly supervise the kids anymore.

I saw the picture of the backpack...

The parents will be held responsible, I'm sure. I'm with you Donna...what ever happened to parenting? Now it just means they want to be buddies because they're still kids themselves or are afraid to discipline their kids because they will be accused of abuse.

I often ask myself why I went into teaching...because there isn't much teaching going on anymore...it's more paperwork and babysitting.

That's not an excuse. Both of my parents worked full time all my life. Both the parents and children need to be held accountable for the kids' actions. They are old enough to know exactly what they were doing and that it was wrong. And they shouldn't be allowed back in the school system for at least the rest of this school year.
