Remember "Bambi"

OMG!
This teacher is whack!!
Can you imagine being asked to draw a horrific picture in art, having the teacher help you and then be told that you may be a nut case!! And that you cannot come back to school until you are seen by a Psych!!

I think the teacher needs to be out until SHE get a Psych Eval!!!
This teacher doesn''t sound concerned in the least but sounds more like she is a paranoid pchizzo!!

Teacher wasn''t smarter than a fifth grader?

America is unravelling as we sit here watching..........

They sent the wrong person to "psychological testing", that dimwit of a teacher is the one that needs help.

I can remember high school art when we were supposed to paint to art and one of the students drew a gorilla with blood coming out of his mouth. I think he got a higher grade than I did.

I guess the picture he drew of little Jordan kissing his mom created a national furor? That would get the evangelical right wing so hot they would order exorcisms nation-wide...

It probably did not help that his last name is ''Hood''...

It''s Halloween and kids are drawing spooky pictures. That''s what kids do. The school acted in the most inappropriate way possible. What a sad situation.

[tegan77]

"easeup", you sound like an animal yourself, calling children a name like that. What is wrong with you?

Now they want to medicate? Undergo psychological testing?.. It''''s a parental problem not a teacher''''s

It''s none of the above,,,this kid ain''t got a snowballs chance in hell to grow-up normally now.

Thanks to all the imbeciles in this kids life. With the exception of his parents.

This school should be put out of business. This is a good example of the system sucking the life blood out of its students/people.

Was the 5th grader teacher required to go through psychological testing as well? Why was she so scared?

[ajmarine111]

If they sent him to a shrink over this silly drawing, can you imagine what they would have done to him if he had drawn a picture of Mohammad?

"--not many people can go in and try & teach those animals"-- Posted by easeup

My 2 kids have the unique situation of going to a High School that''s a mix of fairly wealthy and somewhat lower middle class minority.

I''ve been to their school dozens of times.
The word "animals" has never come to mind nor to anyone else I know there.

What a typical over reaction by the teacher and the school system. The child draws a vampire, a common Halloween theme, and appropriate symbols and words to go along with a vampire. Yet this moronic 5th grade teacher assigns meaning to it that the child had no clue about.

Had that been my child, I''d have refused the evaluation on the ground that the request for it is based on ignorance from the faculty.

You tell em, Lakisha. That anyone could suspect your fine upstanding child is even remotely affiliated with gang activity is unbelievable. This is clearly a blatant case of rush-to-poor judgement, affirmative misreaction, and artistic discrimination. Why can''t we all just get along?

So, easeup, what the hell do you mean "those animals?"

[timsgirl923]

Inner city school? Nope, not quite. Pooler GA is a small town 15,000 people - maybe. Definitely not inner city.

[billpl-2009]

Schools are just fine

it''s all these special interest groups, lawyers, media and mislead parnoid parents who think they know better than the schools and teachers how to do their jobs.

The fault is stupid us....not the schools

[easeup-2009]

This looks like an inner-city school (the mother''s name is LaKisha), so this teacher is probably already close to the edge. Give her a break--not many people can go in and try & teach those animals.
