This is the worst school I have ever sent my child. If it wasn't the teachers who had strange penchants for eating my daughter's lunch, it was the way they fed the "borrowers" who they believed to inhabit the air vents. My daughter reported that when she would ask a question, like, "Why are pregnant women round?" her teacher spontaneously broke out in the Lord's Prayer and buzzed for the principal to remove my child from class. My daughter, who is half-Black, reported that a teacher got mad when my daughter referred to herself as half-Black, with the teacher's position that she was rejecting her supreme White heritage and to never say the word "Black" again. Once, when I went to pick my daughter up from school, the teacher noticed that I wore a ring on a necklace, and asked if it was because my husband and I were getting a divorce. I was so offended that I put it on and disappeared. I don't have the ring anymore, I gave it to a young boy--a new student just as we were leaving the school. I only hope that it brings him joy and happiness and that he is filled with an imagination that will cause him to soar through life.
Teach them young to become robots with no imagination.
For years kids have been playing cops and robbers, soldier, and wild west gun fighters. Now it's hobbits and rings that make things disappear. Never has anyone been hurt nor died from pointing a finger and saying, "Bang!" or has there been a disappearance while pretending to inflict various and sundry "curses" on a playmate.
I teach and encounter this kind of stuff with kids all the time. Great imaginations and not a single kid went home crying because of play like this. All the principle had to do was play along with it and have fun with the kids. I hope that this turns into a teachable moment for the principle, one that teaches her to have some fun and to take that stick out of her bottom.
To suspend Aiden Steward for being a playful, imaginative 9 year old shows that the teacher and principal have WAY overstepped their responsibilities. They acted more like children than the child. SHAME ON YOU, KERMIT ELEMENTARY SCHOOL! I hope some of you there wakes up and becomes human or is replaced by rational thinking people! Politically correctness be damned.
My kid was threatened by some hobbit or other type of small human holding The One Ring, of all things. After scaring my son to death, his wizard friend proceeded with conjuring up a dragon. I heard the hobbit also carries books full of forbidden knowledge. I refuse to let my children go to a school that only suspends its students for such heinous acts of having a healthy imagination and inquisitive nature. Please get your students under control. If normal procedure won't cut it, medicate them, that's bound to rob them of all that it means to represent humanity's future!
Kermit Elementary faculty, under the auspices of a "Zero Tolerance Policy" suspended a NINE year old student for trying to use Lord of the Rings style "magic" to make a fellow student disappear! Yet another example of school administrators not having the sense of a common goose to realize true viable actions that need attention, and the harmless fantasy and imagination of young people. The administrators that made the decision should be stripped of their teaching certificates, and lose their positions. They have shown beyond all doubt there are unqualified to "lead" and "teach."
