What people are saying

The Principal is completely irresponsible. Instead of focusing on making this a better school, creating literacy development, increasing test scores, etc, she is absorbed by a little kid talking about the Hobbit movie. What kind of lunacy is being demonstrated by the School Board and the District for not firing her for failure to perform her duties? Close Quote

They suspend students for having "magic rings". Yes, just ask principal Roxanne Greer, who called a 9-year-old a terrorist for claiming to have a magic ring.

They also suspended him for acknowledging the existence of pregnancy.

If it's academics you're after, well you should know that they get a 2 out of a possible 10 points based on their test scores. So I guess they're doing a solid job keeping their students as stupid as their principal.

Kermit Elementary: keeping Texas stupid one student at a time! Close Quote

This is really stupid about how they suspend a kid over something so small. Psh. "Threats"? I would be expelled for all the LOTR references I made in my time. Close Quote

Your school district is the laughing stock of the nation. Calling a 9 year old boy a threat and punishing him for saying he can make someone disappear with a magic ring is ridiculous.

Fire that principal for demostrated idiocy, and poor judgement Close Quote
