Teach Your Children Well (or they'll kill)

8-year-olds plotting against their teacher.

My stepbrother is a middle school teacher. I was shocked when seven years ago, he talked about a kid that didn't dress for P.E. and was then at the fence, exchanging something with a guy that wasn't a student. The kid put something in his backpack. My stepbrother called him over, and wanted to see in the backpack. The kid cursed at him, said no, and kept walking. When my stepbrother took the backpack from him, and started walking to the locker room, he was attacked by the kid, and a few others were trying to join in.

But, nothing is going to take the cake from this latest plot. You've heard it by now -- a bunch of 8-year-olds, plotting to kill their teacher.

I think it's a nice change of pace, from the usual stories about the teachers sleeping with the students.

Anyway, the teacher yelled at a kid for standing on the desk. They then came up with this plot. One kid would shut the blinds on the window. Another would bring a blunt object to strike her over the head with. Another was supposed to bring duct tape. It was an elaborate scheme.

The authorities interviewed the kids, and said only three will be charged with anything.

My immediate thought was...what do you charge them with? 5 to 10 years of sitting in the corner? Hard labor of cleaning chalkboards?

I'm waiting for the idiot parents of these kids, and the dopey things that will come out of their mouths, in defense of their little Damien spawns.

Here's something you might be interested in.
