Josh Welch, 7, has ADHD, and struggles in
classes at Park Elementary School in Brooklyn Park, Md. He was eating a
strawberry Pop-Tart when he noticed it was starting to take on a shape
he liked. "All I was trying to do was turn it into a mountain but, it
didn't look like a mountain really." Before he could improve on the
shape his teacher came over. "She was pretty mad," Josh says, "and I
think I was in big trouble." The
problem: the teacher said Josh had bitten the breakfast treat into the
shape of a gun. "It kinda looked like a gun, but it wasn't," the boy
said, demonstrating more intelligence than his teacher. The second
grader was suspended for two days, and school officials sent a letter
home with kids to advise parents that "A student used food to make an
inappropriate gesture." (RC/WBFF Baltimore).
