This child was suspended for TEN DAYS earlier in the school year. That is astonishing for a first- or second-grader. The article says “because he threw a tantrum,” but come on! My little kids “throw a tantrum” by lying on the floor crying.
I think the boy in this article was probably throwing a lot more than “a tantrum.”
Some of these kids would not be doing these things with proper parenting. Some probably are beyond that.
