Shrink tells kiddo to draw out his frustrations on paper rather than disrupt the classroom when he gets anxious, upset, unable to concentrate, etc.
At his assigned gov't school, kiddo was mad at his teacher and instead of making a scene, he drew a stick figure drawing with the topic, "Teachers must die."
He got it out of his system, and was throwing it away when the teacher intercepted him at the garbage can, saw it, & sent him to the principal. Principal talks to him, sends him back to class & calls parents.
Gov't school critters decide they want to press charges & police come in the evening, arrest the 11YO, take him to jail, book him, and do not let him see any family.
The charges? "Interfering with staff and students at an educational facility"
1. I wonder, does BHO get charged similarly whenever he has a photo op at a school?
2. I would not be likely to take such treatment of my child well. I do suspect I would take it very, very personally and note each and every person involved.
3. Reason number 9825 I spend the $$$ to send my kids to private school.
