You Are Really Going to Arrest a 6 year old?

I was searching around the internet and found an article on how this 6 year old, who lived in Georgia, was arrested for having a temper tantrum. It was said that the kid threw items off of the wall and throwing furniture, granted that this can be a dangerous situation, the police still shouldn't have been called. I believe that the parents should have been notified and told to pick up their child before the police were even mentioned. I don't think it's a productive use of the police if the aggressor is only a six year old. The poor kid should not have to go to the jail. She is a little kid and sometimes little kids act out, but it is not extreme nor will ever be extreme to the point where the police need to be called. A group of adults could easily restrain her if needed to, the mother could've been notified in order to get the child to calm down. What makes the situation worst is that they decided to handcuff the girl and put her in a holding cell because she did not cooperate when the police tried to get her to calm down. If she is not familiar with the police, it can be extremely scary for a little girl to be confronted by grown men in uniforms. I believe the situation just shows how people can completely over-exaggerate a situation and they can be lazy. Would it really be that hard to try take a cushion to protect yourself and then just get the girl away from anything to throw?

Spring Break Blues Have Gone Away

Usually over the break, teachers decide to throw in every single project so that the spring break fun is completely wasted due to the increased amount of work. For once I am absolutely delighted that my teachers did not decide to make me sad all spring break with tons of homework and projects. I believe the teachers need a break themselves, so they shouldn't add all this work just so they get it all during spring break. The teachers probably didn't want to grade anything anyways, especially since people were cranky due to the lack of snow days. What year is complete if there aren't any snow days? Spring break was perfect this year because the teachers planned for snow so they rushed all their lessons, but the snow did not fall. This led to a peaceful, work-free, lazy spring break. If only next year the same thing happens because that would surely be the best. In the honest opinion, nobody needs to work during a spring break. It would be cruel and unusual punishment. Hopefully people have enough common sense to stay smart and safe this spring break, but I'm going to enjoy my fun in the sun while it last.

And I Will Never Understand the Teacher

It never ceases to amaze me how teachers can get so anal about certain rules or expectations. My teacher, let's call her Ms. D, always has these fits about nothing. She goes on and on about how we all aren't doing the drill, but the bell hasn't even rung to signal that class has started. Ms. D will drone about how people don't sit ,do their drill, or always talk. Most of the time we are well behaved in her class and barely speak. The worst offense you could do in her class is forget to staple your paper before turning it in. Goodness forbid that you have to take a two second break to staple anything. She goes on a rampage if anything isn't stapled, but goes off if anyone staples papers in the classroom. Ms.D must not understand that staples don't cost that much and that it doesn't take long to staple papers. "If it's not stapled and I lose part of your homework; It's not my fault," she always says. Well as soon as we hand it over to you then it is your responsibility, staple or no staple. It's not objective to take points off or penalize anyone for something as idiotic as a staple. Sometimes teachers are just confusing and irritable.
