Apparently, a group of third graders plotted to do bodily harm to their teacher, going so far as to bring handcuffs and a knife to school. I mean, what was this like?
"Homework? Check!
Webkinz duck? Check!
Handcuffs? Check!
String Cheese and an apple? Check!
Knife? Check!"
And how the hell were they able to plan this? They're in the third grade and there were nine of them! Either they had a massive playdate or they were out on the playground at recess hatching this diabolic little scheme. Holy crap. I hope they ARE charged with conspiracy.
The scariest thing I ever brought to school at that age was a snap bracelet. The more I think about it, the more I realize how rapidly our society is deteriorating, and it's blatantly obvious just looking at the overall average student today. So who's to blame? Pop culture? Commercialism? Parents? And how the hell do we fix it?
The other day I was walking down the street (actually, in Copley Square) and a group of boys(probably early teens) were walking down the street with their pants roughly at their ankles. I overheard the following (and if I heard it, you know it was loud!):
"That fucking bitch took me off her myspace. Fuck that, yo. I'm done with that shit." All his little punk buddies agreed that "the fucking ho wasn't worth shit." Great. Glad there's a consensus, boys.
Walking on the other side of me was a young mother, dragging what looked to be a three or four year old little girl. I'm sure she was so appreciative that her innocent child was exposed to that crap. Just lovely. But you know what? Chances are she's heard it before. It's EVERYWHERE. Where did it all go wrong?
And on a side note: the town I grew up in was recently voted one of the best places to live in the country and I must say, if this is the case, what the hell does the rest of the country look like?! This frightens me a bit...
