If there were ever an argument to not have kids, this would be it. To have kids nowadays means you have to put them through the public "education" system and subject them to teachers like this. Actually, to subject them to the system as a whole.. These teachers are merely symptomatic of the problems in the system. Yeah, I know this was in the States, but honestly, is our system (or our teachers) much better? We have plenty of examples in Ontario alone of our teachers being incapable of displaying common sense.

You don't suspend a 7 year old for biting a pop tart into a shape that might abstractly resemble a gun. At the most, you maybe take the opportunity to actually "educate" the boy, and let him know why guns can be bad. But I guess education isn't necessarily part of the curriculum.

I hear a lot of people, including every host on Newstalk 1010, go out of their way to say that our teachers are very respected and deserve everything they get, and they do a fine job.

Well, let me just go on record here as saying that has not exactly been my experience. I've been through our system, albeit long enough ago that the nonsense happening nowadays wasn't too prevalent. But I went to about 8 or 9 different public schools, and 2 high schools. We moved a lot. So I've experienced a fairly wide sampling of our public education system. There were some good teachers, yes.. but those were outnumbered by either the mediocre teachers or the outright bad ones. And trust me, I've experienced bad ones. Real bad.

And as he was leaving the school, the young student tossed a marsh mellow in the shape of a hand grenade at the principle.

As the texting generation would write - O M G !!!!

People, where does this 'political correctness' - end? proton may have been on the mark with the post that here the CAS would jump in.

WOWOWOWOWOW !
