Case 2: In Waycross, Georgia, nine third-grade special education students intended to kill their teacher because the teachers had scolded one of them. They brought to school a broken steak knife, a roll of duct tape, handcuffs, ribbons and a crystal paperweight.
Case 3: Four Indian primary schools girls attempted to commit suicide, allegedly after being scolded by their teacher because of their poor results.
"Slutting, violence attack and suicide may caused by psychological problems."These three different incidents happened in different places for different reasons. However, their outcome is tragic.
The first incident is an endless story of gifted children.
The second incident highlights that special children may have extreme violent tendency.
The third incident is the tragedy out of extreme behaviour by spoon-feeding education system.
