Talk:Nathanael Greene Elementary School
This article seems to be written assuming that the "principal's lap" incident and the "faculty abuse" incident happened at roughly the same time, or even that one led to the other. Do we know this to be true, or is it an assumption? --Sonichuis44 07:56, 5 January 2010 (UTC)
- Occurs to me that I'd always thought they were part of the same incident, but there doesn't seem to be any evidence to support that. Anybody know for sure one way or the other? If not, I'll split the two into their own sections. Also, thanks to whoever edited the "out of control" bit, that was from the old version of the page, good catch there...

- At a guess, you would have thought that his escape from lap caused panic, which lead to the 'abuse' incident, when Chris flipped out. It's anyones guess what happened though. I'm thinking Chris probably had those 'stranger danger' lessons at that age, and probably men and laps did come into it somewhere, which set off alarm bells. We know how literally Chris takes things, and it wouldn't be a massive leap to imagine he did honestly believe the head was trying to molest him.
I can also see the head put Chris on his lap in a desperate attempt to calm him down or something. It's unlikely that happened, as it does leave him open to accusations like that, but you never know. The staff restraint incident probably prevented something like the sign attack video, or the Vivian death threats from happening IRL as well. --YawningSquirtleRedux 22:27, 23 April 2010 (UTC)
Timeline shit: 1.) Chris would have been 9 or 10 in the 4th grade, so this happened in the early 90s, not 80s, and 2.) The Columbine shooting occured in 1999, and 15 years before that would be 1984. *SIGH*. Fixed. --Anaconda 20:41, 23 November 2009 (CET)
