If the school is anything like the school I teach in, students must sign out to use the restroom. Would be easy enough to check the sign out books of all the classroom and see who was out of the classroom at the time of the incident.
The student had left an assembly.
He (and possibly others) may not have had to sign out in an assembly situation.
As a matter of fact you are and you're being rude to boot.
So true. Just like all the movies that show them dunking a kid’s head in the toilet. Funny in the movies, but in reality a very bad practice. Or running from the police when they try to stop you. The list of things kids are seeing in movies and on TV that make good entertainment, but are dangerous if not deadly.
I think you're right.
However, I can imagine a child slipping on a hard floor, falling backward, catching his collar on the hook and hitting his head, panicking, etc. I'm not saying it's the most likely thing, of course, but freak accidents that nobody expected do happen.
Well, then you’re blind — 3 others here have pointed out the same thing. Sheesh!
No, not blind, just better at reading comprehension than you are. You said others pointed it out to the other poster also, you were the only one that responded to that poster regarding that and you were the only one acting like a jerk about it.
You’re the one that can’t read. Three others have made the same conclusion as I did.
I was also pointing out that the statement “The local news as of 6 am this morning, 10 last night and previous news casts over the last 2-3 days never said anything about bullying so that’s probably just bs thrown in by Faux News” was really kind of silly.
It implies that, since the local news hasn’t mentioned something (that’s otherwise obvious as the likely cause), that one may conclude that the mention of it by Fox is “probably bs”. Sorry, that’s wrong, and ass-backwards logic to boot.
I don;t know your gender, but I’m guessing your a woman. Any boy knows about this stuff in school, it’s been going on forever. It turned tragic this time.
This is at an AME Church and they have a gym in back. Reports said it happened in a locker room, so it's most likely hazing, but police aren't ruling out other possibilities.
I've worked a couple of elections there. We had considered sending our son to the pre-K care there, but found a better place. The Church has changed since then and apparently the school as well. I always thought it was a private rather than charter school.
Follow along. You said to that poster that others pointed out the same thing to him/her as you did. I told you that no, you were the only one that responded to him/her regarding that. Why is that so difficult for you to comprehend? And then I said you were acting like an ass, which you were, but that is beside the point now.
Seven year olds hazing?
I was right -- you ARE a woman. Your form of argument is familiar.
Now the problem you're laboring under is believing that "each reply on a thread is particularly disclosed to one person only, and is not a general point made on the topic". So other comments, even if on point, don't exist, except to the particular person addressed by the "reply" function.
Wow. That's ridiculous -- incomprehensible, really. That's bizarre.
And if someone wanted to 'privately' respond to one person (as you construe threads) you'd use mail, not thread posting.
Been praying for this little guy today. Any updates?
This is why my child is authorized to use physical force in any scenario where someone else attempts to hurt him. He also is comforted in knowing that both his parents will back him 100% in such a scenario. If all parents had such a policy, tragedies like this would be rare.
“Seven year olds hazing?”
Second grade? Yeah, I could see second graders doing something stupid. Wedgies were a big thing when I was in second grade. That and grabbing “fruit loops.” (A little loop of cloth just under the collar that boy’s shirts used to have. It was to allow you to hang the shirt from a hook.)
I had three shirts damaged in 2nd and 3rd grade when other kids grabbed it and ripped it off. In another case, the loop refused to tear, and I ended up falling backwards, landing on the back of my head.
It wasn’t called hazing, but stuff like that happened all the time.
I’ve told mine the same thing. It’s not in my oldest one’s nature at all to retaliate (except against her younger sister, lol) but I hope if it were to ever come down to it she will find it within herself to.
None that I’ve found so far.
Thanks.
Prayers for this little guy and his family.
It sounds like a prank to me, also. It simply makes no sense that he would be able do this to himself.
