6 year old suspended

**fish_doc** · 02-14-2005, 09:55 PM

6-year-old Michaela Boyd, a student at Matthews Elementary School in the Sikeston School District, received two days in-school detention for giving a friend a bag full of dirt.

After finding the bag much like the one disposable utensils come in, Michaela says she decided to make her friend a bag of goodies, "They said what did you make this out of. and what did you tell them. I said out of dirt. And what else. I made it with rocks, clover and dirt."

Her mom, Michele, says after Michaela put the mixture into the bag, she tied the top with a purple ponytail holder and gave it to her friend saying,"here's a bag of dirt."
After recess her friend gave the bag to her teacher. School administration determined that the bag of dirt and rocks was a look-alike drug simulating marijuana. They then sentenced Michaela to in-school detention under their anti-drug policy.

Heartland News spoke with superintendent Stephen Borgsmiller about what happened here on the playground last Tuesday and he says while he can not comment on this particular case given the childs age. He did tell me that after gathering all the information an assessment was made and now they are moving on.
Michaela will be moving on as well, with the drug infraction entered in her student record.

The thing that got me was that they think a 6 year old would even understand what they were suspending her for. I can hear her now. Who is mary onya? And why am I in trouble for what she did.
