Sometime last week in VA four students were suspended from a 3rd grade class. These 4 students had planned to kill their teacher, map and weapons included. The teacher supposedly told the children not to stand on their chairs. The students of this VA school went out to the store and bought numerous "unlikely weapons". One had bought a rock to hit the teacher over the head and knock her out, one brought in rope to tie her down on a chair, and lastly one brought in a knife to stab the teacher. Isn't this a little out of the ordinary coming from 3RD GRADERS?! Like come on, I believe that there have had to been another older person, maybe another age group throughout the school or something, because this is just unreal. When i was in 3rd grade I did not even think about hurting someone. Like what is this world coming too? My older cousin who recently just graduated from college and is now a 2nd grade teacher up near TCNJ was telling me of how when she use to student teach in the bad parts of NJ ( if you know what I'm talking about ) that a fight broke out while she was there student teaching and one of the younger boys said to this little innocent girl " if you don't shut up right now I'm bringing my gun into school tomorrow and shooting you". This just absolutely blew my mind. How to children this day and age come up with this stuff? Do you think its the way they were brought up? Are they learning this from their parents? Just CRAZY.
