WTF

On the news I just heard about the 9 kids in third grade who were plotting to assault their teacher. They brought in handcuffs, a knife, a crystal paperweight (to bludgeon her with), duct tape, etc. These are kids who are 8-10 years old like my little nieces. I am blown away. There is nothing that can be done with these kids but expulsion from school because they are so young. I just don't even know where to begin. I am terrified that this shit is happening. I feel so bad for teachers. How do you go back to work after your class plots to kill you because you told someone not to stand on a chair. I reiterate WTF!

I just read about this and thought I was reading it wrong or something! It is NUTS but after all the stuff I saw while working with mentally ill kids I guess I shouldn't be too surprised!

I just don't know how I feel about what kind of reprimand these kids deserve. Jerry says they are lost forever, I am not sure about that since I don't know the whole story. I am sure there is one kid who thought up the whole thing and just talked the others into thinking it was a great idea. Not sure? It made me cry when I watched the story on the news. This world is becoming such a scary place.
