Title: Kids these days!
Post by: Silk on February 08, 2010, 06:35:24 AM
You just never know what they'll get up to! You turn your back, the next thing you know they're doodling on school desks with them new-fangled "erasable markers".

We won't stand for this kind of behaviour no more! They oughtta be locked up! Or at least, hauled away in handcuffs.

Yeah, apparently there are people who actually think that (http://www.nydailynews.com/ny_local/education/2010/02/05/2010-02-05_cuffed_for_doodling_on_a_desk.html).

What the heck is wrong with us?

Oh.....wow.

They cuffed a five-year old for throwing a fit at kindergarten? Seriously? And then sent him to a psych ward? He's five! It's what five-year-old's do....

They are insane. I feel bad for that girl, though. Sounds like she was a pretty good student, and now she's not only been traumatized for something so stupid, but she's also been suspended.

Also--and this is the student journalist side of me speaking--that article ended well. Good shocker line, as my teacher would put it. *shakes head*

Ridiculous!

Whoever made the arrest deserves to be punished.  Arresting someone for drawing on a desk with an erasable marker is absolutely absurd!
