School officials who suspended a boy in Anne Arundel County after he chewed his breakfast pastry into the shape of a gun said Tuesday that the second-grader’s removal from school came because of ongoing classroom disruption, not his imaginary weapon.
“We had not been able to make him understand that he had to follow the rules,” testified Sandra Blondell, principal at Park Elementary School, during an appeals hearing that lasted more than six hours in what has become widely known as “the Pop-Tart case.”
Blondell said that the child, then 7 years old and diagnosed with ADHD, received the two-day suspension after repeated problems and lost instructional time. “This must have been probably the 15th or 20th time there was a classroom disruption,” she said.
