Student Puts Repellent on Teacher's Cookie

SAMMAMISH, Wash. - A sixth grader sprayed nonpoisonous dog repellent on a cookie intended for her teacher and has been expelled, officials say.

The situation developed when the pupil brought some store-bought chocolate chip cookies to school Monday for a party at Elizabeth Blackwell Elementary School in this suburb east of Seattle, Lake Washington School District spokesman Peter Daniels said.

She handed one cookie to her teacher, who took a bite. About half a dozen other students bit into cookies that apparently had been hit with overspray and -- like the teacher -- coughed at the bitter taste and strong odor and spat out the crumbs, Daniels said Wednesday.

No injuries or illnesses were reported.

Principal Jeff DeGallier said the girl told him what she had done. DeGallier retrieved the canister from the girl's home, and investigators determined the spray was organic and nontoxic, Daniels said.

The girl's motive was unclear, he added. She had no record of disciplinary problems in school and may appeal to have her expulsion reversed.

Just damn.

If you want on the new list, FReepmail me. This IS a high-volume PING list...

I saw this on Foxnews today.

I never thought of doing stuff like this to my teacher. She was really awful. I guess kids are getting really... bold these days.

I vote for appropriate punishment....
But would be banned for describing...

Yikes. Gotta help get my nephew the out of public schools. These student poisoner stories are disturbing. This girl needs more than just expulsion, she needs to be treated to find out what in her life possessed her to do such a thing.

It's bad enough that you can't trust Halloween candy or things from strangers but you can't trust them from kids either! Gotta make sure to instill: if you didn't open the original package, you don't open it. Ick.

Crikees....the worst I and my friends did was dump all our dirty jock straps on Miss Ruffolo's desk before she got to the classroom. (It was 8th grade English, and she made us read "Return of the Native" by Thomas Hardy...She was lucky we didn't commit mass suicide right there in the classroom...)

When I was in highschool a teacher asked a female student to go to the water fountain and fill up the teacher's cup. The female student filled the cup up with toilet water. The teacher contracted some sort of virus or bacteria and couldn't teach for the rest of the year.

We had a guy who put ditto fluid in non hardening art molding clay. He put the 'pie' with the indelible blue ink - that you have to be at least as old as me to remember in this copy machine world - on the microphone mast in the office.

The assistant principal came on with the morning announcements, and suddenly screamed explicative deleted words until the loudspeaker went quite with a sudden click.

He was over six foot tall and had no neck. Small wonder whomever did it resisted letting us all know who had accomplished the feat until out twentieth high school reunion.

(The retired administrator still hear who he was and sent him a scathing letter and demand for compensation for his clothes all those years later.)

Whats wrong with just spiking the cookies with a good ole fashioned laxative.

The sad thing is the kid might have been to dumb to know that what she was feeding the teacher and students was not fit for human consumption.

I miss the good 'ol smell of fresh, slightly damp dittos!

Zero tolerance = zero intelligence. Couldn't they just have the kid stay home for one day???

I'm not sure the student was trying to poison the teacher. Maybe she just wanted the cookie to taste bad...

Where are this kid's parents?

A freind of mine decided to take revenge on his high school chemistry teacher one find Saturday. IIRC, this happened in the Spring of 1984.

I was at a Shakey's restaurant with him and at least one other friend when he spied the teacher in another booth.

As we were leaving the restaurant, he broke a vial of stink perfume in the men's room.

As we were driving away, we could see people coming out of the restaurant...:-)

In my day, we just gave her an apple sprayed with ALAR.

No doubt plotting how to have her expulsion overturned.

What is it about 8th grade? I was sent home for the last month, because earlier in the year, I had written the teachers name, along with a girls name by the picture of a jackass in the dictionary. She was not amused, since the truth hurt.

My Uncle Otto, in an earlier era, (though still 8th grade) was given the trash to take out and burn, (pre epa), He piled it up against the boys outhouse, then stood out on the road yelling, "let er burn." The teacher was trying to form a bucket brigade from an old hand pump.

The old two room school is now a community center. We have our family reunions there. The young kids all run up and ask Uncle Otto, now in his 80s, "please, show us where the outhouse was, the one you burned."
