2nd-Grader Suspended Over Imaginary Grenade

[randomrogue]

This is why schools need corporal punishment. Then they could have beaten him instead of suspending him. What a terrible human being that 2nd grader is.

ahh liberalism.

I think you also missed the 10 year old kid that was arrested for having a fake gun at school.

Ya he can come have lessons with my grandson and they can play make believe war if they want . Somehow around me I doubt it would ever come up . As there are so many great fun things to do with real teaching behind it . That It wouldn't take long at all to get his imagination working on productive things all while having fun doing it . I admit some days I just can't get down to their level because of pain ,maybe 1 2 times a month they have to learn study time which is good anyway.

Suspension is justified.

Save the world - as the school allows it to be played is a game that requires no violence and no weapons. The fact that he brought a pretend grenade to what is supposed to be a game that promotes amicable conflict resolution is what is troubling about American culture.

Ya I bet he watches NFL football with Dad on sundays . I just don't see were these kids are getting these villainous tendencies. Can't be TV . Or the movies . I think we need a Cop in every home it has to be the Parents.

Man you do try hard . My wife has you at 14 years old . I said na he is likely 12 grader with no future pissed off at the world

I remember bringing a toy gun to school in elementary many many years ago, and it was for show and tell. No one then thought it was some crime, but we have just gone bonkers on this crap with children. No wonder so many grow up with dysfunctional personalities and can't cope with life. This article is a prime example of the stupid way we handle children in just such circumstances.

Hmmm... what's the conservative answer to whether a 2nd grade radical Muslim should've had a real grenade as per his 2nd Amendment rights?

I really hope your mom can't have kids anymore. We don't need any more people that CHOOSE to be retarded. Do the world a favor and off yourself you worthless piece of gutter trash. I got some bleach and draino you can have to drink if you want.

2ND grade and already knows about weapons of war.

Clearly this child is being reared as a terrist.

Did they charge the child under the Patriot Act and send him to Gitmo?

 

[nehalem256]

So let me get this straight. They were playing a game of "Rescue the World" and only one kids used an imaginary weapon?

 

[dabuddha]

Good. He could have hurt countless imaginary people.

The school preaches no imaginary violence or imaginary weapons. Kids there are supposed to learn about peaceful conflict resolution.

To rescue a place you don't have to blow everything up.

Likely he's the one who got caught. In school there were always kids who broke the rules. The ones who got caught were the ones who weren't good at getting away with it. I personally never saw most of the bad kids get in trouble, I saw more than a few good kids get in trouble.

I remember when high school guys had real guns locked on racks in their pickups and parked on school property so they could go hunting when they got out. No one thought a thing of it and nothing ever happened.

We're a fearful society now. Too bad really.

Actually, you make it easy but, thanks for the chuckle.

Friends and I used to play cops and robbers at recess all the time. And the cops and robbers shot at each other.

At that school I'd have been expelled during grade 1.

Pffft one grenade. When I was in 2nd grade we played imaginary war. We had machine guns, bazookas, we lit that playground up.

Yeah, I remember gun racks in pickups. Used to be quite common.

School admins and teachers seem to some of the most fvcked up people.

You can thank the confusion created by those that believed disciplining a child early on for bad behavior is the same as abuse, like Dr. Spock and those like him with their beliefs in permissive parenting which today has become a lack of parenting.

The root cause of decline in America is not that difficult to deduce. When a society becomes out of control, it is because its members elevate self-indulgence and lack self-control. It really is that simple.



In the last 50 years, human nature has not changed. Selfishness, lust, covetousness and all other passions are in the human heart at birth. It is only a trained proclivity to say NO to our natural drives that keeps our passions in check – self-control is what stops us from stealing, murdering and committing adultery. It is parents who must instill this important quality in each generation. History and common sense teach us that the society in which children are not taught to keep control of their passions is destined to moral disintegration.

The same selfishness that is present today started out in children who today are not only thugs on main street like in the Atlanta security guard video but also the same type are on Wall street hiding behind their suits, lawyers, and bought off politicians while promoting that same selfishness on a much grander scale.

No more cops and robbers, cowboys and indians, playing army, chase, tag, etc. But they can play doctor so they can give abortions to the little girls playing mommy.

Update: the mom who reported this has a criminal record and is probably lying to make her little snowflake into a victim:

School: "A teacher saw Watkins' son, a second-grader, throwing real rocks at other children on the playground on Feb. 1, Hausmann said in an email. "Following a discussion with the student and his mother, the principal imposed a two-hour in-school suspension as a consequence for the student’s behavior. The student was never removed from school grounds by the district."

The mom: "Amanda Lorraine Watkins has several criminal convictions -- for attempted arson, theft and forgery -- that cast doubt on her own credibility."

Zero-tolerance can be idiotic, but in this case it most likely never happened.
