Quote:WAYCROSS, GA (WLTV) -- It's the type of news you don't expect to hear coming out of an elementary school. Nine third grade students suspended at Center Elementary in Waycross for an alleged plot to attack their teacher.
"This plot was uncovered at the point that something dangerous was brought to the school," says Lt. Dwayne Caswell with Waycross Police.
Police say the students were hatching a plan to harm their teacher Friday morning. They even brought items from home to carry out the plan.
"They had a broken steak knife, a crystal paper weight, toy handcuffs, several items and tape and stuff," says Lt. Caswell.

Was just about to hit submit, and I had a thought -- could this story be an April Fools joke?
If it is a joke, it's not funny.
Nor is publicizing it a lot if it is real.
Little kids are even more suggestible than adults.
