In Waycross Georgia nine third graders have been suspended and three of them arrested for planning to attack a teacher for revenge. Apparently the teacher reprimanded one of them for standing on a chair. They brought handcuffs, a knife and a paperweight to hit her with. These are THIRD GRADERS!!! The plan was sophisticated enough to have one of the students cover the windows of the room and another one to clean up afterwards. See the story here: http://www.latimes.com/news/nationworld/nation/la-na-teacherplot2apr02,1,7655480.story?track=rssWhat in the wide world of sports is going here? These kids range from 8 - 10 years old and they are planning to injure if not kill a teacher. There was the usual line in the story that indicated that none of the youngsters had a track record of being in trouble. Well they do now. They have gone to the head of the line!
So how do you respond to such a thing? What do you say to the parents, the teacher who was the target, the community members? Do you let them back into the room? I am not sure I would. Can you imagine assigning those children to their 4th grade room? Who wants to have Billy in their class, he promisesd to the leave the handcuffs home? \
Oh Lord have mercy, Christ have mercy, Lord have mercy.
