OK, we’ll admit it — after covering a bunch of stories involving teachers getting attacked and beat up, their jobs might just be harder than we give them credit for. And if teachers think that they can play it safe and stick with teaching elementary school, think again:

A group of third-graders plotted to attack their teacher, bringing a broken steak knife, handcuffs, duct tape and other items for the job and assigning children tasks including covering the windows and cleaning up afterward, police said Tuesday.

The plot by as many as nine boys and girls at Center Elementary School in south Georgia was a serious threat, Waycross Police Chief Tony Tanner said.

“We did not hear anybody say they intended to kill her, but could they have accidentally killed her? Absolutely,” Tanner said. “We feel like if they weren’t interrupted, there would have been an attempt. Would they have been successful? We don’t know.”

The children, ages 8 and 9, were apparently mad at the teacher because she had scolded one of them for standing on a chair, Tanner said. A prosecutor said they are too young to be charged with a crime under Georgia law.

Absolutely unbelievable. They even had the mindset to COVER THE WINDOWS? Where are they picking up this stuff?
