Two students taint a teachers drink

[npk]

For two straight days, two Cherokee County elementary school students put something into their teacher's drink, police said.

The teacher is fine. But the students have each been charged with misdemeanor reckless conduct, according to Mike McGowan, school district spokesperson.

The incident apparently happened on Feb. 9 and 10 at Johnston Elementary School in Woodstock, according to the school system police report. School police were notified on Feb. 12.

The two students were arrested following the school system's winter break, according to police. Both students were released to their parents.

Based on the school system's conduct code, the students face a mandatory suspension and possible expulsion for endangering an employee. The district cannot comment on the specific punishment for the students involved in the drink incident.

Ok this is just scary as hell if you are a teacher. Who knows what these students could have put in her drink. Damn I bet this teacher will be reluctant to bring a drink to class again.

1. I once saw some kids spit in a teacher's drink.

I was in seventh grade and our teacher left the room for a minute. While she was gone, one of the girls got up and spit in her coffee mug. I was 12, and a coward, so when she came in I didn't say anything. I watched her to make sure she didn't take a drink out of it (figuring that if she did, I would then say something). Luckily she didn't drink out of it. When class was over, I told her what I saw.

I should have just told immediately, but...you live and grow I guess.

2. I rarely believe in "zero tolerance" ....

However, tainting, poisoning .... a teacher's, an other students, and other living beings anything is never OK .... or something that can be said of "kids do stupid stuff"
