WTF? You have got to be kidding me....
WHAT do 6 yr old's play?
Cops n robbers.
Cowboys n Indians.
Things like that.
I only have one son (9 months old) out of 2 step-daughters and 2 daughters, none under the age of 10...
Too think my son could be suspended just for doing a hand signal, part of normal, every day boy (and girl) playfullness makes me very angry.
What happened to imagination? Pretend-play?
It's a sad world now for kids. A sad, sad world.
A Michigan boy reportedly has been suspended from school for curling his hand into the shape of a gun and pointing it at another student.
Erin Jammer, said her son, Mason, was just playing around when he made the gesture Wednesday, the Grand Rapids Press reported.
But officials at Jefferson Elementary School said the behavior made other students uncomfortable, and they suspended Mason for the remainder of the week, the paper reported.
School officials also told the paper that Mason had been warned repeatedly against pretending to aim his hand at students but continued the behavior over several months.
Jammer told the paper her son isn't violent and doesn’t have toy guns at home. She suggested a less harsh punishment, like taking Mason’s recess away, might be more effective in teaching him not to make a gun with his hand.
