3rd grade class caught plotting to kill their teacher

This only slightly ****ed up: link

For those too lazy to read the gist of the story is that nine third graders got together, thought up a plot to kill their teacher because she scolded one of them, and got all the supplies together. Their plan was to knock her unconcious by hitting her on the back of the head with a paperweight then restraining her with handcuffs, duct tape, and ribbons. After that they were going to stab her in the spine with a steak knife. The kids even had specialized jobs like covering up the windows and cleaning up afterward.

So much for "childhood innocence".

And no this isn't an april fools joke, its all over the news.

:o okay then...

im just curious, did these children play violent video games?

Take note that a gun was not part of their sinister plot.

At least they were utilizing their creativity. I'm sure their art teacher must be proud (and desperately trying to find a new school to teach at).

hmm after reading the article, apparently the kids she was teaching were speds... maybe that played a part?Xeros606

and violent video games and movies don't do anything to the children :| I bet he learn that leadership from playing some online game! :lol:

poor teacher though, i hope he/she is ok.

They should get additonal marks for engaging in extra curricular activities.

I mean plotting all that takes some actual thought and planning. Again extra marks for showing initiative.

The kids seemed more intelligent than most normal 8-10 year olds. That's some mad planning skills they had going on. I mean they had equipment to seal off windows and clean up afterwards. They should get an automatic pass for the year.

Ahh c'mon it's obvious they've been playing an ultraviolent game called Counterstrike. The game lets you plot out how to kill people in virtual reality, and to a child, all that seems real and ok to do. [/Jack_Thompson]

But seriously... Children these days are getting ****'d up...

To quote Chris Rock: "Whatever happened to being crazy?"

Seriously, people have this really deluded image of little kids, that they're 100% pure and innocent and incapable of any kind of malevolent thoughts. The truth, if you can remember your elementary school years, is that kids are ****s. Not only that but its not unheard of for kids to do really violent, sick ****. I think it was 20 years ago or so that two 10 year olds were found guilty of kidnapping a three year old from a mall and torturing him to death just for the thrill of it and to see if they could get away with it.

The teacher needs to take this quiz. Just divide the amount by 2 since there 10!

Same here... I might not agree with some of the things that Thompson says, like my joke I just said. How he falsely describes games sometimes..
- but I do agree with his purpose... Children.. Playing violent games and watching violent movies can lead to bad influences, and I wouldn't be surprised if it was the case for this story. I think it's better if something was done about it... I'm guessing people will flame me cause I said that. Oh well.

:o okay then...

Yea, i agree. Im against the idea of violent games being banned or stores not selling them but kids shoulden't play them. My view is if your under 13 and playing a M rated game the store or person that got them the game should be criminaly charged. If your over 13 parents can control it. I know a few 13 and 14 year olds who are more mature then some of my friends who are 18-21.

I just heard about this and yet the priniciple continues to mention how nice these kids really are which is pretty sad that she doesn't confess her real thoughts.

Kids are too smart/confident/clever/nuts for their own good now. I mean I plotted but i never actually went through with it :/ It's a good reason not to teach.
