She can star in my posters any time -- what a look!
I'm not sure of your purpose...but deliberately misquoting, revising a post after someone comments on it, and your twisting of my post leave me with little desire to continue this "debate".
She turned 9 in February.So, she's what, nine? Ten?
The next day, I got a phone call asking me to come in for a chat. The teacher and the principal were not amused. Apparently, pictures of guns cause phone calls from freaked out parents. My daughter was not in trouble, but they asked me to please not do that again. Oh well. It was worth it.
In fact, the private school where my daughter goes took in a student who was expelled from public school for drawing a picture of stick figures having a shoot-out.
s this a relatively new phenomenon?
I am in Ocoee Fla and was investigated by DCS because a teacher overheard my son, then also9,telling his friend that I had taken him to a range and let him shoot a .22 pistolI am in Ft Worth, and I know several teachers with CHLs too. These same teachers have said it is school policy to report ANY student talking about, drawing, writing about, etc firearms.
My doodles usually included a knife wielding masked man labeled "Me" attacking my latest nemesis usually labeled "Madeline" (the girl that kept trying to kiss me at recess)I used to draw huge, drawn-out battles with giant robots, infantry, and airplanes all utterly destroying each other with lasers, bombs, and most of all, good old fashioned guns. Never did I have a teacher so much as comment on it (granted they were just doodles on the ledgers of my notebooks, but still)
