Acting like the very children you wish to teach

The correct, diplomatic way of asking two kids to stop discussing hunting:

"Guys, I think that's an interesting story, but a little bit too graphic for other kids. You can still discuss it, but please talk quietly, or perhaps talk about it later."

The incorrect, childish, selfish, immature way of asking two kids to stop discussing hunting:

"LALALALA, I CAN'T HEAR YOU! I DON'T WANT TO KNOW IF YOU KILLED BAMBI OR NOT! I HIKED, I STRIPPED NAKED AND WORSHIPPED GAIA, I'M BETTER THAN YOU, LALALALA!"

And yes, it was in the New Upper West Side Socialist Nation of Vermont, where hunting is still acceptable, except you can't run over deer or bears with your Prius.

Update: Newsbusters also follows the story with one really good quote from Okie:

And who's the 10 year old here?

The teacher covering up her ears and saying "la la la la la la".

The woman is an idiot. I hope she gets fired for stupidity. (emphasis mine)

I don't know. The older I get, the more I realize we should be giving psych tests to anyone applying for a teaching position.
