A Taunton teacher is pressing criminal charges against a 10-year-old student after she caught the fifth-grader drawing a menacing picture that depicts him, a gun and a figure of her with a “bullet whole” in her head.That looks like some credible threat. You really couldn't think of another way to deal with this, Karen Boudreau?
I see they've deactivated your web page since yesterday.
Why does it seem plausible the source of conflict may not rest entirely in the child's court? Still, a sizeable percentage of poll respondents think it does.
Taunton, Taunton...why is my first thought not one of individual problem-solving resourcefulness...?
Here we go with that mental health thing.
ReplyDeleteThe boy also doesn't seem to like "Emily" very much, since she's going over some kind of precipice yelling "I'm falling! I slipped!" With a big YES! HA HA underneath.
When I was in junior high a classmate and I used to design trap-door dungeons with spikes, pendulums like from the Edgar Allan Poe story, buzzsaws. Cartoon stuff. The kind of thing horror exploitation filmmakers and Monty Python got rich off of. "The moving belt carries the tenant toward the rotating knives..."
"Stop that! This is to be an apartment building, not an abbatoir!"
Kids do that.
And "bullet WHOLE"? What a great teacher Boudreau must be.
... And I thought they smelled bad on the outside.
ReplyDeleteThat may not have been a bullet hole in her head. It could have just been his rendition of the pre-existing hole in her head.
ReplyDeleteMmmkay, I'm beginning to have second thoughts about arming teachers...
ReplyDeleteDavid,
ReplyDeleteYou should put her name in the title of your post so when she or someone else Google's her it will show up at the top.
Anyone who reads this blog should like to this post with her name as the text of the link. Let every know how stupid she is.
