It's a Different World Than the One We Grew Up In!

We never thought we'd be the type to say “back in my day…” but we recently read a story out of Anderson, S.C. that has us scratching our heads. This story really demonstrates how times have changed, and we have to admit, we feel a little out of touch after discovering how different things are in schools today. So what could be so shocking that it has us feeling our age? Well, a 17-year-old high school student was recently charged with assault and battery after deliberately throwing a paper airplane at a teacher.

The student, David Michael Elliot, has been charged with a misdemeanor and faces 30 days in jail if convicted. There is a little more to the story, however. Apparently there had been previous incidents between Elliot and the teacher Edward McIver, with the latter saying “something needs to be done.”
