Teacher threatens to let gunman in school to shoot third-graders ‘in between the eyes’

EAG: DAYTONA BEACH, Fla. – A freshly trained substitute teacher in Volusia County schools was banned after she reportedly told students she’d let a gunman in the building to “shoot them in between the eyes.”

Linda Baker, 61, was assigned to cover a third-grade classroom at Turie T. Small Elementary School in Daytona Beach last Thursday for her first working in the district after undergoing substitute teacher training last month, the Orlando Sentinel reports.

About 20 students were in class and apparently misbehaving when Baker allegedly concocted a story about a gunman with an AK-47 to get their attention.  more

  1. Turie T. Small Elementary School

    White: 10.9%
    Black: 79.7%

    From what I gather the substitute is white, but I can’t confirm it.

    I can almost see why she’d say something similar, just a real bad choice on her part, if you’re a parent with screaming kids (2,3, or 4), just imagine a classroom filled with 15 of them all yelling, and they may have been getting ready to twerk.

  2. “Substitute teachers in the district are required to have a high school diploma, three days of training and a clear background check, according to the news site.”

    Well, at least they have high standards for substitute teachers.

  3. It’s just as well they got rid of her. Any decent teacher would have known that the proper phrasing of the threat would been “…shoot them between the eyes”. The “in” was totally unnecessary.

  4. My friend lived in Volusia county. When he moved his family to a NE state, his kid had to be put in a special class because he was 2 years behind his peers. He was an A /B student in Volusia.

  5. My kids had a teacher like this in the early 2000’s before cell phone videos were everywhere.
    She told one of their classes she hoped they all the chance to have someone hold a gun to their heads.
    She told another that every time they had a party with boys and girls the girls all got raped.

    Do you know what they did with her?
    Promoted her to Assistant Principal.
