A 12-year-old boy was suspended from a Coventry middle school after his parents said he brought a small gun keychain to school.
Joseph Lyssikatos said the keychain was in his backpack at Alan Shawn Feinstein Middle School on Thursday when it fell out. A classmate picked it up and started showing it to other students.
A teacher confiscated it and before Joseph knew it, he was suspended.
Because screwing kids around on crap like this is evidently far more important than, y'know, teaching.
According to data provided
by the state Department of Education, only 68% of students in Joseph’s
class are “proficient” in math. Just 26% achieved “proficient with
distinction” on the New England Common Assessment Program (NECAP) tests
conducted last year.
Howzabout suspending a bunch of school brass and 'teachers' from their pay until the scores go up?
