You can teach a bear to ride a bicycle, but you can't teach it to avoid objects in its path. The reason our children are becoming stupider and stupider is that their "educators" are stupider and stupider.
NAPLES, Fla. -- A 6-year-old special education student who kicked a Naples teacher's aide and spent several hous in juvenile jail is facing felony battery charges. Her mother, however, wants to know why the case has gone so far. Takovia Allen suffers from behavioral problems and attends a special class at Lely Elementary in Naples. According to an arrest report, on May 2, a teacher was trying to line up students to go to music class. Takovia refused to go and kicked the teacher's aide in the ankle. After a discussion among school officials and two law enforcement officials called to the school, the girl was arrested. Takovia was taken to juvenile jail and held there for several hours before being released to her mother. She is being charged with battery on a public education employee. It's possible she will enter a program that includes counseling. If she completes the program successfully the charges could be dropped.If we'd had this current crop of teachers when I was a kid, I could have gone to Alcratraz for putting a whoopie cushion on my 7th grade teacher's chair. And I wasn't even in special education.
