The *six* year old who shot his teacher a while back seems to have been a real charmer. He had a history of being someone who should have been drop-kicked out of a public school classroom directly into a “facility” of some kind. And of course the bureaucracy was cool with that behavior:
On one occasion, the boy wrote a note telling a teacher he hated her and wanted to light her on fire and watch her die, according to the teacher’s account. Alarmed, the teacher brought the note to the attention of Richneck administrators and was told to drop the matter, according to the account. … On a second occasion, the boy threw furniture and other items in class, prompting students to hide beneath their desks, according to the account. Another time, the teacher alleges in her account, the boy barricaded the doors to a classroom, preventing a teacher and students from leaving.
Yeah, no. Kids such as that do *not* belong in society. Further evidence:
“Our son suffers from an acute disability and was under a care plan at the school that included his mother or father attending school with him and accompanying him to class every day. Additionally, our son has benefitted from an extensive community of care that also includes his grandparents working alongside us and other caregivers to ensure his needs and accommodations are met. The week of the shooting was the first week when we were not in class with him. We will regret our absence on this day for the rest of our lives.”
If the parents have to not only accompany the kid to school but *stay* there with him… school ain’t the place for him.
When I was that kids age, my family had a pet St. Bernard. Great dog, as my faint and vague memory serves, but he started to act like maybe he was sick. In the end, my parents sent him to go “live on a farm.” Perhaps a similar sort of farm can be found for kids like this. Because installing him within classrooms:
1) Endangers teachers
2) Endangers other kids
3) Damages the other kids education
4) Costs excessive resources
5) Doesn’t benefit *anybody* including the monster child in question.
There is no rational or valid reason for putting threats like this in a classroom. If you would not put a rabid racoon in a classroom, why a psychopath?
The stupid, strong
Unteachable monsters are certain to be victorious at last,
And every man of decent blood is on the losing side.
Take as your model the tall women with yellow hair in plaits
Who walked back into burning houses to die with men,
Or him who as the death spear entered into his vitals
Made critical comments on its workmanship and aim.
