Some of this is hilarious, some of it's frightening. An episode f Malcom in the Middle crossed with Children of the Corn.

This seems perfectly normal, I planned to kill all my teachers on a regular basis. I would have gotten away with it too if it wasn't for those pesky do gooders in class.

Jesus Wept

I blame TV.
Time for a blanket ban on TV's I say.

Probably Gremlins in disguise.

ScumLord

But I like blankets.

Pighead blames boards. These spanners are only doing this so somebody can start a thread about them in After Hours. No Boards=No World Problems.

I dont have time to be clicking on links :mad:

A group of primary school children made detailed plans to murder their teacher after she told one of them off.

The nine children, aged 8 to 10, apparently intended to knock her unconscious with a glass paperweight, bind her with handcuffs and duct tape and then stab her with a broken steak knife.

The third-graders at Center Elementary School in Waycross, south Georgia were angry because she had scolded one of them for standing on a chair, police chief Tony Tanner said.

The scheme involved a division of roles, Mr Tanner said. One child’s job was to cover windows so no one could see outside, and another was supposed to clean up after the attack.

Their target teaches third-grade students with learning disabilities, including attention deficit disorder, delayed development and hyperactivity.

“We’re not sure at this point in the investigation how many of the students actually knew the intent was to hurt the teacher,” Mr Tanner said.

School officials had alerted police last week after a pupil tipped off a teacher that a girl had taken a weapon to school.

Mr Tanner said the teacher told detectives the children were not known as troublemakers.

“You can’t dismiss it,” Mr Tanner said. “But because they are kids, they may have thought this was like a cartoon – we do whatever and then she stands up and she’s OK. That’s a hard call.”

Two of the students were arrested on juvenile charges and a third arrest was expected. District Attorney Rick Currie said other students told investigators they did not take the plot seriously or insisted they had decided not to participate.

“Some of the kids said: ’We thought they were just kidding’,” Mr Currie said. “Another child was supposed to bring a toy pistol, and he told a detective he didn’t bring it because he thought he would get in trouble.”

Mr Currie said the children are too young to be charged as adults, and probably too young to be sentenced to a youth detention center.

“We did not hear anybody say they intended to kill her, but could they have accidentally killed her? Absolutely,” Mr Tanner said. “We feel like if they weren’t interrupted, there would have been an attempt. Would they have been successful? We don’t know.”

Mr Currie said he decided to seek juvenile charges against two girls, aged nine and 10, who brought the knife and paperweight and an eight-year-old boy who brought tape. He said they face charges of conspiracy to commit aggravated assault, and both girls are being charged with taking weapons to school.

Nine children have been given discipline up to and including long-term suspension, said a school spokeswoman.

And then sometimes I read stuff like this and, I just dont know where it comes from. Its hard to zero in on whats so different about the kids there to the kids here where they think its ok to mutilate/kill their teachers and babysitters?

I can't recall ever thinking so violently when I lived there.

In fairness, that's a pretty elaborate scheme for a kids so young. I hope they at least get a few gold stars for initiative.

I cant even remember my third grade teacher... maybe i killed them?

All I remember thats the year they taught us to multiply; use computer typing; and the meaning of Hypothesis and Ecosystem. There were also a lot of Water-Bottle rockets made.

Charging eight-year-olds seems a bit steep. Counselling maybe?

They were already in a school for mentals, so counselling would hardly help them.

I blame that there Jaz music and that Quick Step dancing the young people do nowadays.

I think you'll find the rot set in with the frivolous music of that young Mozart jackanape and the accompanying rakish wig-wearing.
