#1 The name, let me guess.... labor pains while walking to the Wachovia ATM, flagged down a Taxi, headed to the nearest ER. Upon delivery, Takovia!

#2 Um...I dunno about you but I kinda agree with the mom here..I mean seriously WTH? Arresting a 6 year old with a felony charge for kicking an adult in the ankle? Sheesh why do I get the feeling some people just don't belong anywhere around kids.

#3 Takovia Allen suffers from behavioral problems and attends a special class at Lely Elementary in Naples.

This what happens when you outlaw Pavlovian behavior modification. Lord of the Flies:Part Deux.

#4 Sounds like a way to compel her involvement in a behavior mod program - and to make sure Mom has a reason to go along with the program, if you know what I mean.

#5 There's always more to these stories then whats intially portrayed. I'm willing to bet an ankle kick wasn't little Takovia's first signs of "behavioral problems".

#6 and you can bet Mom has an excuse for every incident? ADD? Ritalin? Sometimes it's BAD PARENTING

#8 Let me know when you have a story about state schools that wouldn't be solved with vouchers.

#9 It's to wake up Mommy. She's been snoozing.

#10 Snoozing? I'll do you you a couple better (based on experience):

Mommy keeps making excuses.

Mommy's working in another city and leaving the bigger brother to raise the kid.

Mommy's been stoned (I had two students die because of that).

Mommy's been busted/in rehab/run off/declared unfit and Grandma is raising the little darling.

Not too much sympathy here. I've had a special ed student attack his grandmother during a conference, had to restrain another (a second grader)because he tried to stab another student . I've had special education teachers and assistants threatened by students.

And I work in a relatively hick-town school. Comes a point where nothing else works.

#11 Oh, and I left out that law enforcement cannot do anything unless an injury occurs, or the student is still actively being a threat.

#12 "Let me know when you have a story about state schools that wouldn't be solved with vouchers."

Please tell us how ( short of all the other kids leaving) this could be solved with vouchers.
