Good Lord.

Next act: The word "begun" will be banned.

It contains the word "gun".

[DemforBush]

What I want to know is: was it a military-style/high-powered/AK-47 pizza slice loaded with “cop-killer” toppings?

[bikerman]

That’s it, just have to outlaw pizza now.

[WOBBLY BOB]

Thank God it wasn’t a chicken finger or this could have been series.

[WOBBLY BOB]

kid will be singing this soon:

“Christmas in prison”

instead of guns made of wood, made of pizza.

Now this is ridiculous.

ANOTHER REASON TO HOMESCHOOL

This ping list is for the “other” articles of interest to homeschoolers about education and public school. This can occasionally be a fairly high volume list. Articles pinged to the Another Reason to Homeschool List will be given the keyword of ARTH. (If I remember. If I forget, please feel free to add it yourself)

The main Homeschool Ping List handles the homeschool-specific articles. I hold both the Homeschool Ping List and the Another Reason to Homeschool Ping list. Please freepmail me to let me know if you would like to be added to or removed from either list, or both.

Well, that made 15 in a row for the arth list. That is DEFINITELY a record.

He's being punished because "some students reported he was making some threatening hand gestures, that he was shooting other kids at the table and they reported it to a teacher," according to Evans.

He continued, "The student didn't tell him the truth about it so he got silent lunch for six days."

And they're SURE he wasn't telling the truth and that the other kids were????

Right.....

[Not The Other One]

Stupidity at an entirely new level has taken hold of our society. We punish boys for being boys.

“Well, that made 15 in a row for the arth list. That is DEFINITELY a record.”

Do I get a door prize?

; )

[metmom]

You should. You’re the biggest single contributor.

[Tired of Taxes]

You’re on a roll tonight.

I was heading off to sleep when I saw this ping. My middle son especially drives me crazy turning everything into a weapon. At his homeschool co-op, he takes a class on weapons and warfare. He saw the class on the schedule, and that’s what he wanted. I always wonder, what would they have done with him in school? I guess this story answers that question.

All boys everywhere in the world at a particular age go into total stick orientation. Very often these sticks are turned into guns. If a stick isn’t available, then whatever else is handy is used. It also is turned into a gun.

[metmom]

My nephew is also typically boy in this regard which drives my liberal to the core sister-in-law to distraction. But she also realized that she was fighting a losing battle.

[Shimmer1]

I don’t know if I’m just in the mood to giggle or what, but your post struck me as hilarious...and true!

Bring this kid out of the gov’t nanny institution

[Shimmer1]

Yes, the “gun” shot with little sausage pellets.

[Smokin' Joe]

School leaders say the 10-year-old threatened other students at his lunch table with a piece of pizza...he was making some threatening hand gestures, that he was shooting other kids at the table...

Whatever happened to "Don't play with your food!"?
