4-Year-Old Boy Suspended from Daycare for Having Tiny .22 Shellcase

Going to take a bet this one is still around. I recently saw some beer cans taped together when I was taking a walk. I wondered why anyone would tape beer cans together, now I know. Thanks for the info.

 

Here in Illinois, the land of the silly and the stupid, it's a wonder they didn't hang the kid for expelling greenhouse gases.

 

1- Haha, reminds me of the time our science teacher made a fire extinguisher with weak acid and some other stuff but the top blew off and he got a facefull, and dived to the tap to wash it off saying "It's alright, it's alright" to the shocked class..

2- Tez Walton was another kid we all loved, he once brought a home-made gun to school made from a short length of curved bike handlebar with one end hammered flat. He lit a banger (firecracker), dropped it down the barrell quickly followed by a handfull of gravel and it was like a blunderbuss going off..

Me, I had a healthy interest in explosives and used to make handgrenades by strapping bangers to potatoes for throwing, and depth charges by strapping bangers to stones for dropping in rivers and canals (amazingly the water didn't douse the fuse), and bombs out of blank shotgun shells for throwing like darts..

 

PUULLLLLLLEEEEEEZZZZEEEEE!!!!!!

You have no concern for this or any child's well being. For you, this is about guns, guns, and more guns. To even suggest otherwise is dishonest beyond contempt.

This is a behavior issue. The child repeatedly disobeyed. The child was counseled about the behavior. The child continued to disobey. The child is punished.

Parenting 101.

 

And if the child brings a stone to school and is told not to do that then repeats the offense...yeah, still a behavior issue. Not a gun issue, not a rock issue, a behavior issue.

 

I'm going to go with concencus of the group on this thread in that the adults at the center were clueless

 

You mean as opposed to those who know only what they've seen on the internet?

 

Nah those that actually have common sense and have actually raised a four year old

 

Because they told you that on the internet.

 

If that helps you sleep better, think that

 

The parents put the child in a school.... with "Eco-Healthy Child Care".
And here that child goes around how he is going to gun down it's things.

To top it all, he's told not to do that. He goes on with it.
So wtf is wrong with that kid and their parents.
Go to your right wing pro NRA school already.

 

Ironic that you should say this. You haven't demonstrated the slightest bit of interest in this child's well being. You just want full compliance with school rules, like a good little obedient robot, regardless of what those rules say....just like North Korea.

Again more irony because for you this is all about guns, albeit your obvious dislike of them. Not me.
I'm not in the NRA, don't own a gun, never have. This is all about transference on your part. You don't really care about the child. You
only want all mention and references to firearms in that little fiefdom called a preschool wiped out.
This is your obsession and only concern, obviously.

Repeat your failed mantra until your dying day....it makes no difference. As already said, I would feel exactly the same if the school was trying to stop children from playing "dangerous" games (like tag) on the playground. Or if the boy was being
brainwashed into gender issues by LBGT obsessed educrats.

You mention parenting so much, as if you are an authority, but I wonder if you've ever been a parent at all.
Obeying rules and doing what you are told is only half the issue. Any good parent, as I believe his parents really are,
know the boy enjoys playing with guns and it's not been harmful in the least for him. Rules are only constructive and positive
to the extent they serve a useful purpose.
But how could you know about that?

 

You can lie to you. You can lie to them. You cannot lie to me.

I've said on several occasions you can pick any offense and given the child's response, the punishment is appropriate because he was not punished for the thing he had but for the things he repeatedly did.

If not for the delusional fear of a "gun grabber" under every bed this thread would not exist and neither would your "objections."

Fortunately, there are people more concerned that this child grow into a healthy well balanced adult who understands rules and consequences than any non-existent threats to his "gun rights."

I count myself among the former.

 

He is four years old still in the teaching stage.

 

Bringing a dreaded "gun part" into the school's safe zone was the primary excuse the psychos running the daycare used.

Yes the child was as wrong for bringing in another shell casing as he would be for continually bringing in a banned pebble, a piece of hard candy, or other tiny, evil banned thing.

 

And punishment properly applied is a teaching technique.

 

suspension to a 4 yr old is not necessay

 

No, continually breaking the rules is the "excuse."

A four year old who cannot or will not follow the rules requires action be taken to ensure he learns that such behaviors will not be tolerated.

Nothing to do with "guns" or "gun parts" and everything to do with properly managing the behavior of an unruly child.

 

Kids this age bring all kinds of tiny toys and things to class. I've worked with this very age for many years.

If a kid had brought one of these shell casing in, I'd have no problem with it if the kid wasn't bothering any kids with it by making disruptive noises or poking their skin with it.

A real problem kid is one playing too rough with others, hitting, kicking biting, crying excessively, or generally wild and disruptive behavior.

 

The kid was not suspended for what he bought to class. He was suspended for repeatedly breaking the rules after having been warned.

He had been told to stop. He failed to comply. He was punished. The school dealt appropriately with a behavior issue.

 

When I went to high school most of the boys had pickups and had a rifle and a shotgun in the easy rider rifle rack and nobody thought much about it. See how far the liberals have pushed this crap.

 

If our 4 year old had brought a live .22 round into this "Snowflake" daycare---they'd have called the bomb squad.

 

Not when the child feels humiliated and feels the school hates him.

 

Is it any surprise when a kid can be suspended for chewing a pop tart into the shape of a gun? http://www.cbsnews.com/news/examiner-recommends-school-board-uphold-pop-tart-suspension/
