Jen, so there's an incentive to call the police?  I was about to ask Jude why the teachers weren't allowed to discipline the kids and at who's direction - the teachers union or the school board? 

My daughter has had private school, public school and two years of home schooling.  They each have their flaws.  The public school tested her and she is gifted but they failed to do anything for gifted students.  I found out that in the past they had done a lot to nurture gifted students but they decided it was unfair to the other students so the program was neutered and I pulled her out since it was a waste of time.  Giving extra homework to gifted students is not effective because the kids wonder why they are being punished for being smart.  BTW, all her friends who were homeschooled for elementary and middle school decided to enter the system for high school, either public or private.

What don't I get Jude?

Hmmm . . . . I think you guys really don't get this one. I raised children in Colorado and had to home school the oldest in order to teach him to read. That was at the advise of one of his teachers who told us he wouldn't learn any thing in the public schools. She was right, the Colorado public schools were some of the worst I had ever seen. When my oldest was in 4th grade they wanted us to test him for ADD because he was acting up in class. I spanked him when he got home and the teacher contacted me asking what I did since was now well behaved. I told her that we gave him an "attitude adjustment". When visiting a classroom, I have personally witnessed children get up and wander around or get books and toys while the teacher was giving a lesson. When told to sit down, they simply ignored her and continued without discipline from the teacher. They are by law forbidden to discipline even if they become aggressive or violent. So you need the police to come in and control the kids from time to time. It's either that or Riddalin.

If the parent is stating that the child never acts up at home, perhaps there is something at the school triggering his actions (perhaps a moronic teacher that isn't trained in handling these special needs kids?).

No, it's the sociopathic, brainwashed, little demon hordes he calls his classmates that are probably driving him mad. A room full of ant bullies. Little frickin nazis!

 

Home school your kids America it's our only hope!

I remember a few kids in my third grade class I would have liked to pepper spray! Seriously, disciplining children for violent acts is only teaching them to fight fire with fire. With 6 billion of us wandering around dazed and brainwashed (confused) how long do you think it will take us to burn down the entire planet?

What the big story here is, is that the school district said that they are seeing this more and more and they are "concerned about the problem". Gee, you demand that they be vaccinated to enter the system (which is why the "special ed" classrooms are getting as big as the standard classrooms, you have flu vaccine clinic in the school where the viruses are shed to these kids already affected by the previous vaccines (the shedding causes PANDAS infection: Pediatric Autoimmune Neuropsychiatric Disorders Associated with Streptococcal) which btw, causes extreme behaviors, and last but not least....look at what they feed these kids in school and at home these days. If the parent is stating that the child never acts up at home, perhaps there is something at the school triggering his actions (perhaps a moronic teacher that isn't trained in handling these special needs kids?). Our child was being affected by the cleaner that they used on the desks (he suffers from V.I.R.A.L.S.  Vaccine Induced Regressive Autistic-Like Symptoms (I won't use the word "autism" because these kids are poisoned, not genetically "wrong"). When we confronted the school, they said that the cleaner was a "green" cleaner (the only thing green about this cleaner was the actual color of the product in the bottle. My wife looked up the name of the cleaner and found that every single ingredient in the cleaner (other than the water) was either a nuero toxicant or a carcinogen. There could be so many factors involved here but I agree with the main point here...these teachers need to be trained to deal with these kids, as do the cops. With 1 - 69 boys affected with autism in America today, these cops are going to be inundated with socially inept teens and adults very soon. Pepper spray IS NOT THE ANSWER!

I agree Tara.  This boy was in a special class for kids with behavioral issues so the teacher should have training to deal with these kinds of problems.  And if the teacher needed help, I'm sure a few more adults could have helped restrain him. But they took the cowards way out and called the police.

I have an eight year old daughter and I would be livid if some jerk off decided to punish my daughter with pepper spray whether she was being unruly or not. The parents should be the ones to physically discipline the child, not the school nor the police. The police should have been able to restrain an eight year old boy unless he had super powers or something. And then they handcuffed him like he was some kind of criminal. Come on.....they never used pepper spray on us kids when we were young (thank God because I hear it is very unpleasant), but I did have a teacher that used his cane on a few kids and use to throw our desks around with us kids still in them to get our attention. He was an abusive prick. At least the cops were never involved though.

In this instance, I have to agree with what the police did. The kid admitted he deserved what he got and he did acknowledge that he intended to harm the teacher. Unfortunately, the Colorado public school system has no discipline and basically do what they want (I know, I raised three kids in Colorado). They will be dealing with this one more in the future, but hopefully, he has a little more fear of the law.
