A five-year-old girl was suspended for a day for bringing a clear, plastic, bubble-blowing gun to school.
The child, a kindergarten student at Southeast Elementary in Brighton, apparently put the toy in her backpack Monday morning. She reportedly took out the "weapon" in the hallway during morning recess.
The school called the girl's mother, telling her to come pick up her daughter because she was suspended for bringing a "fake gun" to school.
The mom said she understands the school's motive behind the
zero-tolerance policy, but thinks more common sense should have been
used in this case.
"If they had contacted me and said, 'Can you
make sure this doesn’t happen again? We just want you to be aware,' I
think that would have been a more appropriate way to handle the
situation," the mother said. "Could we have a warning? It blows
bubbles."
"common sense is not common to all"
