Why I Home School My Children – Unbelievable Lack of Common Sense in NY Government School
I am so glad that my children are home schooled. A 9 year old boy brought a 2-inch toy lego gun to school to play with during lunch in NY. A lack of common sense by the administration almost got the kid suspended. If this is the quality of people that we have in charge of school systems across the country then this country is screwed. Common sense just is not one of this principals skill set. Exactly how is a 2-inch toy gun dangerous? From the NY Daily News:
An irate Staten Island mom blasted a grade school principal Wednesday for treating her son like a pint-sized Plaxico Burress after he brought a 2-inch-long toy gun to school.
“This principal is a bully and a coward, and needs to be held accountable,” said Laura Timoney, 44, after her teary fourth-grader was nearly suspended for playing with the tiny toy at lunch.
“The school should be embarrassed. This is a common-sense issue.”
Patrick Timoney, 9, was terrified when he was yanked into the principal’s office to discuss the teeny-weeny plastic “weapon.”
“The gun was so little,” the boy said. “I don’t understand why the principal got so upset. I was a little nervous. They made me sign a statement.”
Patrick and a friend were playing with Lego figures in the school cafeteria on Tuesday when he pulled out the faux machine gun and stuck it in the hands of his plastic police officer.
