I got no emergency phone calls... couldn't be that bad.
I ask around and no one seems to know. The ladies are all oblivious...
Then I got home, and check the new stations web site and there is the story and it will be on the local news tonight:
Last Thursday, a 1st grader brought bullets. The teacher, instead of confiscating them and making it all an issue. Asked the child to put them back in his backpack and take them home.
On Friday, parents learned of the incident...then the over reaction started. All chaos has ensued and parents want the teacher fired, and their kids moved out of her class. School ends in one month... just put the teacher on administrative leave or something until then...
They suspended a 5 year old for making a gun out of Lego's , this was in H
This kid actually brought a bullet, he should be expelled for life! I mean come on now!
My point is, yes it was wrong for the student of that age to have a bullet, and it was wrong for the teacher not to confiscate it AND notify parents. Lets leave it at that. Lets stop this irrational fear of guns, that's all over reaction like this is meant to do.
People have been saying for months, Guns don't shoot themselves! and for Gods sake bullets don't shoot without guns. If you hit a bullet square with a hammer, it'll explode and yeah it is potentially dangerous. But its not being launched through a barrel at 1000s of feet a second. People actually pulling their child out of school because some kid brought a bullet, these people are afraid of their own shadow and an embarrassment..
I have since learned that it did not happen to ND or NWs teachers. I love those ladies and would not want them to suffer through this..
