Remember the movie Problem Child?
"First, the student went after a classmate with a pair of scissors. Later the same day he knocked the teacher into an easel, bruising her jaw. A few months later he hit another student and was suspended."
This kid is 5.
The Daily News runs a sidebar entitled "Everyday objects youngsters turn into weapons." Let'e check out a few:
Child 1:
"The student stuck a pencil point in the hand of another student ... The teacher spoke to the student and told him the right way to use a pencil."
Child 2:
"The student and another student inappropriately touched a third student."
Then a few months later...
"The student tried to pull down another student's pants."
Child 3:
"The student was fighting in class. The teacher was about to call the assistant principal when the student knocked her into an easel, injuring her jaw."
Child 4:
"The student became very disruptive ... lifted a chair over his head and threatened to throw it, and a teacher tried to stop him. The student threw the chair, missing the teacher by a few inches. The student then ran out of the school and the teacher ran after him."
