6 Year Old Beats Up Teacher


         Who would think a 6 year old boy could beat up a two hundred and twenty pound gym teacher? Rodrigo Carpio has tried to hurt many people at the school and finally did. It does not matter if the person is six or seventeen. In my opinion they need to be diciplined. I think the parents have a lot to do with how kids will act at school.

        Rodrigo Carpio is a six year old that has been described as "an angel devil sort of thing" because of his sweet looks, but horrible behavior. Rodrigo has already kicked the school princible and pinched other individuals, including the school security officer. Rodrigo now has charges pressed against for actually damaging the gym teachers knee. "He kicked me in the ankle, and one kick landed right on my knee. I felt a pop," says gym teacher, Mr. Webster. I think they have every right to press charges, but Corpios dad thinks differerent. "This lawsuit is totally absurd." I disagree with his dad. This child already got away with physically hurting other members of the school faculty. He does not need to get by with damaging the teachers knee. I do understand where they could think that pressing charges on such a young kid is not necessary because he is only six, but discipline is definitely needed. The gym teacher tried holding on to the kid so he could not do anything, but he couldn't control the kid kicking him. This also ties in with parenting. For the dad to think his child should not be in trouble for this maybe shows what kind of parenting they apply. I know that if I were to do something like that in school even if I was that young, I would have been in twice as much trouble at home then at school.

        Different situations like this happen all the time. Of course a teacher can not do anything physically back to the child because of the young age. This is why something needs to happen through the law. Kicking people because you're mad or in trouble is not acceptable. If Rodrigo would have already got in trouble by his parents and teachers at school, then this probably would not have occured again.
