7 year old suspended-teacher says he shaped pastry into a gun (weapon, school)

[All American NYC]

At Park Elementary school, Josh was enjoying his breakfast pastry when he decided to try and shape it into a mountain. Josh said, "It was already a rectangle and I just kept on biting it and biting it and tore off the top and it kinda looked like a gun but it wasn't." ....Josh's dad received a phone call from the school saying that Josh has been suspended for two days because he took his breakfast pastry and fashioned it into a gun. Josh's dad was astounded to learn the school chose such a harsh punishment, even after no one was hurt.

These schools are going too far.

Suspensions might be a bit much for these situations. However, at least the schools are doing something to let parents/students know that you have to check your gun idolatry at the door.

ban pastries. Except for merry-go-rounds cause they have a built in trigger lock.

The inmates have taken over the asylum.

Is this due to the war on obesity or the war on terror ?

That is unhealthy food used as a weapon of mass destruction.

I guess if there was no jelly inside the kid could at least declare the weapon was unloaded.

We need a sensible assault pastry ban.

Like most of Americas "brave" gun owners, a little schoolmarm was able to take it away from the guy.

...............even after no one was hurt.

That's because the entire school was armed with the same weapon.

A monday surprise PWP I see....what a treat, nothing like getting the inside classroom story for a chance to fail the teacher....

As much as teachers today burden everyone I find for the school. PWP's can tend to try and control not only the other youngsters, not only the teacher, not only the school but the whole world if you let them. Once a talent is noticed, and his use of color is outstanding the praise and attention can become very addictive without moderation and all required in learning including knowing, the whole solar system does not orbit Pee-Wee.

He shaped his food into a gun, pointed at the ceiling and said bang-bang. This mischievous prank he thought would get him some more attention , failing to realize that weird interruptions are not welcome and there are other people in this world besides himself.

Notice he says...as his voice winds down in the sentence ( cause he's smart and knows he's fibbing) he was still hungry days later.

Pee Wee Picasso caught red handed lying not just to his little ma and pa and friends but now to the whole world on camera. He knows darn well what a camera is. This whole thing would be just one of many incidents, he's a control freak as well. Artists control what goes down on canvas...he's gotta learn to temper and allocate these emotions properly.

Sincerity, honesty and behaving in order in the classroom is more important then you Pee Wee...

Added on top of missing school...the higher Stargazzer Dean of Discipline Office now levys in fitting punishment no desert after supper for a full three weeks, including a sincere "explained short apology when the school lets u back in , if they do not change their mind. Know Pee-Wee it is a forgiveness for being self absorbed and dumb...that allows some hope for you to get back to how things were....

Pee Wee Picasso is a potential trouble causer and was most likely often doing splashy out of the norm stuff for attention. Good job teacher ...straighten these little freaks out.
