Wow, it makes me very sad that our society has become such that we no longer have tolerance or understanding for a kid who obviously made a very poor judgment call. We don't know the situation here. We know the teacher's side of the story, but what about his and his parents' side of the story. That's something that we don't know. How was he treated in the past at this school and by his teachers? Did he and this teacher have an ongoing personality conflict? Obviously. Children, especially those with disabilities, aren't perfect and teachers aren't perfect. Nor are all teachers, even those with advanced degrees, cut out for dealing with and educating children that require a certain level of extra care and understanding. I'm not defending this child, but there's obviously more to this situation than we know. A question that we should ask is what was going on at the school to cause a kid to bring in his father's pocketknife. A flippant remark about crayons doesn't help anyone. Hopefully, lessons have been learned by all and this kid and his parents can find a better environment with a school and teachers that are better prepared to deal with children that need compassion and understanding.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29270672.post-2818074804684723482009-04-22T07:39:00.000-04:002009-04-22T07:39:00.000-04:00We wont forget its a 13 year old child but dont fo...We wont forget its a 13 year old child but dont forget he pulled a knife not a crayon.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29270672.post-72326505520718933652009-04-21T20:25:00.000-04:002009-04-21T20:25:00.000-04:00Please don't forget, this is a 13 year old child w...Please don't forget, this is a 13 year old child we are talking about, not an adult.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29270672.post-62382005314312144052009-04-21T11:14:00.000-04:002009-04-21T11:14:00.000-04:00As the late, great Paul Harvey would have said, "A...As the late, great Paul Harvey would have said, "And now the rest of the story!"Babbiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11152952119296267993noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29270672.post-54247946514955823912009-04-21T07:37:00.000-04:002009-04-21T07:37:00.000-04:00Leadership really needs to explain themselves in t...Leadership really needs to explain themselves in this case, the student had been previously suspended for a physical altercation with this teacher and other students and Moultrie Middle decided to stick him back in her class over her objections.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29270672.post-48404240901265167572009-04-20T12:05:00.000-04:002009-04-20T12:05:00.000-04:00As Dr. Phil would say, How's that Positive Reinfor...As Dr. Phil would say, How's that Positive Reinforcement Plan working for you now?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
