Elementary school students in Waycross, Georgia, have made news in a bizarre way. It seems that nine 3rd Grade students were angry with their teacher because she scolded one of her students for standing on a chair. They decided to get back at her and collectively hatched a plot to do her harm.
According to Lt. Dwayne Caswell of the Waycross Police Department, the plot was uncovered after weapons had been brought to school with the intent to hurt the teacher. The weapons included a steak knife, a paper weight, handcuffs, tape and miscellaneous items that were contained in a bag. Several students had gathered the items needed to carry out their plan from their private homes.
One student got wind of the plot and reported to the school principal that several individuals had brought weapons to school. Officials immediately investigated and suspended nine students. They will reportedly remain at home pending further disciplinary action. According to the Ware County District Attorney, the majority of the children are 8 years old and will likely face juvenile Unruly Child charges.
Interestingly enough, the teacher told authorities that these particular children weren’t troublemakers. Hmmmm.
