3rd graders on a rampage!!!
Isn’t this crazy? It would be funny if it wasn’t so frightening. My son will be in third grade next year. I have to wonder where they are learning this kind of behavior.
I remember having teachers in elementary school that I didn’t like, but we never decided to ban together and over throw the class. I just wanted less spelling and more kick ball.
Her crime, she had allegedly scolded one of them for standing on a chair.
I remember in fourth grade being made to NOT use my desk, because I usually place my notebook on my lap instead of using my desktop. She actually took my desk away for the day. What did I do? I started using my desk correctly. Never did I think…Join with me my brothers!!!Let us raise the barricades and storm the Bastille!!!
Anyway. I just can’t comprehend where these children, first off, got the idea, and secondly, actually decided to act. And I have to ask…how do you punish them? And do you seriously have to look into the home structure? These kids are 8 and 9 years old. They have to be learning this somewhere. I hate to be the guy screaming “T.V. Is bad! Video games are rotting their brains!!!” But it’s got to be coming from somewhere.
Or maybe they just have a little Hitler amongst them. Maybe he’s a baby Jeffery Dahmer. Should we stop him/her before it is too late? If you could go back and grab The Boston Strangler as a boy, would you?
Maybe this is just the rantings of someone who has spent too much time in a hotel lately. Too much road kill cafés. Mmmm…opossum on a half shell…

This is a big thing here in Jacksonville right now because it’s literally right over the state line. Last night on the 5:00pm news they were trying to figure out how and if they were going to charge these kids. I question two things-one, what did the teacher do that these kids felt was so wrong that they were going to do this and two, where the hell were the parents as they were taking this stuff out of the house??? I still say teachers should get combat pay. I wrote one up last year for defience and he told me that I better check my brakes every day when I pulled out-cause accidents happen. And now I have a desk job-I digress.

Just look at night-time television . . . Law and Order, CSI, etc. Besides the shows that teach you forensics and committing crimes in great detail, you have sitcoms in which the adults are the stupid people and the kids spend their time wisecracking and fooling the adults. Why are we surprised?
