11 Students Plotted To Kill Third-Grade Teacher

WTF

WAYCROSS, Ga. -- Eleven students got together and plotted to kill their teacher, even going so far as to bring handcuffs and a knife to school, Waycross police said.

One of the teacher's relatives said each child at Center Elementary School in Waycross had a job to do, including one assigned to wipe up the blood.

The plot unraveled over the weekend when a student tipped off police, Local 6 reported.

School officials said they never imagined that some of the 8- and 9-year-olds boys and girls at the school would think of bringing physical harm to a teacher, WJXT reported.

"A plan had been developed amongst several of our third-grade students to allegedly do harm to their teacher," said Theresa Martin, of Ware County Schools. "It's shocking that they would think of this at their young age. I think that is probably the most shocking part for all of us," Martin said.

In addition to the knife being found, the school officials said other students had duct tape, handcuffs, ribbon and a heavy crystal paperweight.

The police chief in Waycross said that he believes the plan may have been developed because one of the students was punished with some sort of time out. However, that theory remains under investigation.

"I can't believe that -- because he's a third-grader. You know, I cannot believe that. Especially, for here," said parent Doris Rowland.

The children could face expulsion and criminal charges pending the investigation.

They could face criminal charges, but they're only 8 or 9. Those charges will be wiped from their records by the time they're adults and plotting more heinous acts. Disgusting. I'm lost for words... and that's so not like me. :-/

Their parents must be even worse.

"The nine students at Center Elementary School are too young to be charged with a crime under Georgia law, a prosecutor said. They include girls and boys, ages 8 and 9. Authorities withheld the students' names."

of course its Waycross.... not too much to do there..... cowtip.....eat corn....plot to commit a crime.... you know country stuff...

yeeeee haw...................

I don't care what you or classical music lovers think.

And this is just another example of why I decided a long time ago that I was NEVER going to be a teacher to anyone other than adults. How effective of a teacher will you be when you have to worry about this kind of shit?

Adults at least have the option of being present. If they don't like the class, or don't want to be students, or don't like you, they can leave. And many of them do.

That's horrible news. What puts stuff like that in kid's minds? When I was 8 or 9, I don't even remember ever thinking about the words "murder" or even "guns" or "knives", I mean, I don't think I even knew the concept of killing someone, I don't think I knew it could be done. I knew people died when they got old or in a car accident, but I didn't think of murder. What the Hell is wrong with the world today???

How old was the Virginia Tech guy, though?

What did that teacher do to "inspire" 11 children?

Ya gotta wonder that something must be horribly wrong with the teacher if half the class actively considers murder a valid "solution".

Yeah, one random kid I could understand.... but 11 of them?
Either there's a budding Rasputin in the class doing the brainwashing, or this teacher was a mega-cunt.

...or perhaps she was asking them to do something that they did not want to do - like sit in their own chair, or keep quiet when someone else was talking - or even giving out tasks like maths or homework.


I think the Japanese call this the 'Little Emperor Syndrome'. That is kids today are so spoilt, that unless they get what they want - and on their terms - that they can (in really extreme cases) be motivated to kill to satisfy their own selfish ends.

It's the age of instant gratification.

That is seriously messed up.

What was the name of the famous USA case wherein two brothers conspired to kill their parents - for no other reason than to inherit their money?

From what I recall (and it may be from some cheap T.V. movie), the parents were not bad parents, rather the kids were so damned selfish and self-absorbed that in their own minds they believed they were totally justified.

As kids here in the UK become more feral, I just wonder if this sort of 'I'm alright Jack - sod everyone else' anti-social behaviour is set to become the norm?
