Can a 5th grader go to jail???

During one of my reading classes today a student stole a pencil out of another student’s desk.  Yesterday it was a monkey head eraser.  And then he lied about it, not only to another teacher but also to the counselor.  Apparently this wasn’t the first time.  Tomorrow I’ll learn of his consequences.  I’m just glad that it wasn’t one of my students but a student in a class next door (we split up for our second reading block).  Regardless, we’re making sure our door stays locked now!!!

    Kansas law says that if you’re ten years old or older, you can be arrested, charged and convicted of crime. I suppose pencil theft would apply.
