That does seem like excessive punishment.

. . . On the other hand, a teacher must keep her students under control or chaos will ensue in the classroom with each student undermining decorum.

In this case, a verbal warning and a chance to remediate should have sufficed.

This is getting ridiculous;

Colorado second-grader suspended for throwing IMAGINARY grenade during recess

KDVR NEWS – A 2nd grader has been suspended from school in Loveland for a make believe game he was playing.

The 7-year-old says he was trying to save the world. But school administrators say he broke a key rule during his pretend play.

“I was trying to save people and I just can’t believe I got dispensed,” says Alex Evans, who doesn't understand his suspension any better than he can pronounce it.

“It’s called ‘rescue the world,’” he says.

He was playing a game during recess at Loveland’s Mary Blair Elementary School and threw an imaginary grenade into a box with pretend evil forces inside.

“I pretended the box, there’s something shaking in it, and I go ‘pshhh.’”

The boy didn’t throw anything real or make any threats against anyone. He explains he was pretending to be the hero. “So nothing can get out and destroy the world.”

But his imaginary play broke the school’s real rules. The school lists “absolutes” designed to keep a safe environment. The list includes absolutely no fighting, real or imaginary; no weapons, real or imaginary.

“Honestly I don’t think the rule is very realistic for kids this age,” says Alex’s mom Mandie Watkins.

Alex is like a lot of 2nd graders, perpetual motion. His mom says the little boy doesn’t understand why pretending to be a soldier was wrong. “I think that when a child is trying to save the world, I don’t think he should be punished for it.”

My suggestion is for you to take an "IMAGINARY" grenade to the airport with you and as you approach the security area .. toss it.

Or if you really want to "get ridiculous" just shout ... "I have a grenade"!

"His mom says the little boy doesn’t understand why pretending to be a soldier was wrong. “I think that when a child is trying to save the world, I don’t think he should be punished for it.”

Mom ... uhhhhhh ........
