suspend for playing

In recent news a 7 year old boy was suspended from school for playing a game with his friend.  The kids were in second grade and were pointing a pencil at each other making gun noises, and then a teacher that was concerned called them to the principal’s office.  Apparently dew to the schools policy to not allow any thing that resembles a gun the boy would be suspended.

I think that this I crap and they over reacted I have done the same thin several times.

  • Two words. Stupid Teachers. even thought they were making gun noises they were just having fun and there are video games where you get a gun and you just shoot darts

  • That stinks for the little boys that were trying to play a game! but i can see where that could be bad!

  • the teacher and the school shouldn't overreact like that! kids are just kids and i bet the principal and the teacher did dumb stuff like that when they were younger.

  • They were using pencils, ad he is 7? I don't think he would shoot up the school. But better safe than sorry.

  • That is over reacted, the kids were 7 years old, its not like they are going to actually bring a gun to school, it is expected to have kids play war games, look all around there is so much about guns, they know that they cant have a real gun, because it is dangerous, so they pretend. 

  • This is ridiculous, he's 7 years old. now if this was High School it'd be different, but still not suspension worthy.
  • That's crazy and he shouldn't have been suspended for just playing. The little boy probably grew up knowing what was going on since there has been a lot of shootings.

  • Umm yah this was a serious case of over reacting. What are they going to do ban pencils... in a school?

  • Punishing a 7 year old for pretending he had a gun... What has the world come to?

  • that's ridiculous. Who doesn't play guns in elementary school, it's not going actually result in a shooting they're SEVEN.
