Teacher found dead outside Mass. high school; 14-year-old in custody

Seems odd that a kid would go off and just kill one teacher. I wouldn't be surprised to find out they were involved romantically.

 

Well, it's a math teacher; she very well may have just flunked him at something.

 

Jason Lives!!

 

The kids need better parents.

 

wth dude.

Spoken like someone who doesn't have kids. Maybe you do, but what do you say to the person who raises their child in a way that you'd deem top rate, a child that still ends up committing some atrocity? Nurturing happens in all aspects of one's life, not just the home. What you say may be true from one case to another, but there's always more to the story than that.

RIP, and condolences to her family. I agree wit RR, it seems the respect of life... or well... anything... is absent from so many today. Some sort of conveniently dumbed down existentialist entropy. Maybe our media is such that things are just heard more often and more loudly than ever before, but it seems to be that these things happen more and more often.

 

^ Agreed.

WTF. There's no reason to joke, man. Someone just died.

 

Can we please go back to the female teacher-male student "relationship" posts? This is horrible...and disgusting.

 

Jumped to conclusions because I read RR complain about getting a gun when the article mentions none. You can't blame everything on the kids when parents are largely responsible for their behavior. Violent crime rates are trending downwards, the media just reports it more because news spreads faster and it gives them site clicks. I'll just wait until they report more of this case.

 

Sad,

I had a teacher get murdered when I was in middle school and it broke my heart. I had seen it on the Sunday night news with my Mom. Monday morning when I got to school, I told all my friends that I thought Ms. XXXX had been killed over the weekend but no one believed me. I think I had her 2nd period and when we went up stairs there was a familiar subsitute teacher at her door. Once everyone was in the class they told she had been killed over the weekend, I lost it and they took me to the library where they had grief counselors. Pretty soon every one of my friends was there in the library with me crying their eyes out.

Her BF shot her, he's out now I think. She was the cool teacher, she taught English, she was the type who would look out the window and say, It's too nice of a day to be stuck in here, and she would grab a big blanket and we'd all go outside and have class.

 

I don't like the pee-pee game where they charge a juvenile as an adult. You're either an adult at a specific age or you're not. No circumstance changes that.

 

Maybe she was a Cards fan.

 

Chowderland doesn't have a death penalty; and has some pretty good law schools, he'll be out at some point. That doesn't concern me one way or the other, but you figure it's a good backstop to the adult thing.

 

This. First thing I thought of.

You are NOT an adult at 14.

 

Same thing

We also had a math teacher killed in Angleton back in 1989. She was shot while driving to school one morning by a crazy kid who was failing and was going to risk losing his golf scholarship, yes I did say golf! He shot her from another car with a shotgun. I had her class first period and we did not know what the deal was till the next day. They never convicted that punk even though his close friends knew he did it. To make is worse he got the nickname "shotgun Mike" after that and still no justice was served!

 

This is what I was thinking, too. She was extremely nice from what everyone said and she had a cuteness to her. A kid with emotional issues or that is being favored by a teacher trying to help while talking up how great they think the kid is or how the kid definitely has the smarts to excel in her class and beyond...that kind of stuff can draw a crush from a kid. I think there is a danger in how nice teachers are to their students where they can cross a line without even knowing it until it's too late. Then, the kid tries to act on it and a firm rejection happens. Then, kid loses it and acts violently either out of shame or whatever.

That said...who knows if that is what happened.

 

I would include that with what i said. I don't think it was a schoolwork issue.

 

you're not an adult at 14?
hell you get car in 2 years and you're grown up enough to know how to kill someone? f this kid hope he rots
