or a parent.

Something really doesnt add up here... why oh why would they attempt to "kill" their teacher from just 1 scolding o_O?

I mean, even im not THAT psychotic... i dunno... maybe im just feeling insecure about my place in society now... being obsolete and all >.<.... but it just doesnt add up!

"Awh... they grow up so fast" ^_^

This is why I hate people who go around crying about the "innocence" of children and especially about how it's being ruined by various perceived evils. What makes it even more infuriating is when the court system buys into it. Like in this case. "But because they are kids, they may have thought this was like a cartoon — we do whatever and then she stands up and she's OK. That's a hard call." I don't know about most kids but when I was in third grade I knew damn well that if you stab/shoot someone they don't come back to life and so did these kids seeing as how they assigned one of them to clean up afterward. For some reason I don't think "cleaning up" in their minds was putting everything back in place but rather getting the blood stains out of the carpet. This "kids don't understand death" mentality is pretty BS. I remember back when I was in 4th/5th grade when South Park had just started airing how all the adults I knew kept talking about how the show was dangerous to kids because they would think that if they died they would come back to life like Kenny. It was at that point in my childhood that I realized adults didn't remember **** about being kids and had some rather warped beliefs about childhood (and as I later figured out most adults in our society have warped beliefs about other things as well, such as believing that the earth is 6000 years old).
