When a woman arrived for work according to authorities on Tuesday, there was a plan to handcuff her, place duct tape over her mouth, hit her over the head with a heavy paperweight, then cut her with a broken steak knife. What kind of job carries this sort of evil peril inherent in it? The lady whose name has not been disclosed, is a third grade teacher at Center Elementary School in Waycross, GA. The perpetrators - several of her nine year old students!
This may well have raised elementary school teacher in the ranks of most dangerous professions. On Friday a pupil told a teacher that a student in the third grade had brought a weapon to school. If not for the report, teachers might not have uncovered the rest of the plot. Lt. Dwane Caswell of Waycross police stated "It was a rather elaborate scheme for children of that age. The students spent a week planning the attack and planned to carry it out on the day they were caught."
Police plan to charge three of the children in juvenile court with conspiracy to commit aggravated assault and possession of a weapon on school property. The Waycross Nine, all nine years old, have been disciplined though details were not disclosed.
Some were given long-term suspensions. In my humble opinion, this is like giving them a vacation, and makes this observer wonder what sort of discipline was administered that could possibly bring home the horror of what they had planned. Nine-year-olds plotted to tie up, hurt teacher.
