Catholic school suspends 6-year-old for pretending to shoot imaginary bow and arrow at recess

That kid should receive a 20 game suspension with no pay.

 

Those are early signs of a sociopath.

 

Gotta hear both sides.

 

Kids playing at recess is growing rampant and should be put to a stop.

 

Matthews is a thug and now he's bringing that thuggish behavior to our kids on the playgrounds? Won't anyone think of the children?

 

Depends how he was shooting them. If it was like Hawkeye - all good. If it was like Hunger Games chick I can see catholic butthurt over it. If it was like Joffrey, who wouldn't be mad.

 

It was like this:

 

The punishment is a little bit excessive, but according to research almost every mass shooter in recent American history played with toy guns/weapons as a youth.

 

to add to that, they have all been to school at some point in their life

 

I have a 6-year old son. I'm trying to imagine how I could explain to him why he got a 3-day suspension for miming a bow and arrow without just throwing the school under the bus.

I had an incident with my oldest getting a reprimand for doing something that was perfectly acceptable in my consideration. The only lesson I could bring her is that sometimes your teacher is going to be a dumbass.

 

Word is the priest is turned on by violence and his suspension was for his own protection.

 

Amen. Its idiotic. Why would you pay for your child to go to a school like this, only for them to suspend him over something stupid. Schools are too sensitive nowadays. It's absurd. My brother-in-law is paranoid over every little thing we say around his 4 year old because "what if he says that in school?"

My brother, on the other hand, is on the opposite end of the spectrum, lol. He texted me the other day saying that his four year old son told him that he almost said a bad word. He asked my nephew what word he almost said (because he often thinks normal words are bad word]. My nephew looks at him and says, "I almost said 'These oranges are badass.'"

He told me he was proud he used it in the right context, and could hardly hold a straight face when telling him he couldn't say that.

 

zero tolerance is dumb, if that's what really drove this suspension

 

Damn man America is going down lol.

 

This country prefers to do what the rules say not what makes the most sense. It's pretty sweet.

 

How was he shooting an arrow at recess??

Recess is not a thing, it's just a time period.

Those people be crazy.

 

I'll bet they've all eaten white bread too!

 

What's next, arresting mimes for pretending to be trapped in a box?
