We Don't Need No Education? Students Plot to Kill Teacher

Where my fellow teachers at? I heard there are a few on this board. What do you guys think about this?

Talk about a bad education.

Three 9-year-old students in upstate New York plotted in December to kill their fourth grade teacher with hand sanitizer, according to a police report.

The report, obtained by WGRZ in Buffalo, said the conniving classmates in Elba, a small town between Buffalo and Rochester, told fellow students they were going to kill their teacher right before winter break “by putting antibacterial products around the classroom.”

The Elba Elementary School teacher is highly allergic to hand sanitizer and banned it from the classroom, so the students planned to poison her with it.

The names of the students and the teacher have not been released.

The pupils’ plot unraveled when a student who heard about it told parents, who referred it to the school board.

Chief Deputy Jerome Brewster of the Genesee County Sheriff’s Department told the Daily News police found little motive for the murder plot beyond the fact that the students said the teacher “is mean.”

He told the Daily News police considered the school scheme “idle chatter” and did not charge the students with any crimes. Police referred the case to the school district, which is treating the threats “very seriously,” Brewster said.

The Batavia Daily News reports two of the students were suspended, but the school board wouldn’t release any other information about the case, citing privacy of student records.

I can't believe these fourth grade girls in suburbia. I work in an inner city school and I've seen experienced some crazy things but no one has plotted to kill me (at least not that I know of) and definitely not because I was "mean."

I don't know [MENTION=2]Elias[/MENTION]. I think it comes down to bad parenting. Although as a teacher, that is my go to response.

Bad parenting mixed with a messed up society and half the kids are drugged anyway because of add,adhd,anxiety,and depression plus about a million other things.
