Lil' Columbine?

That's an awful lot of assumption. Anyway, there's a world of difference between having some disturbing thoughts and even making some plans to carry them out and actually doing anything. The thought of cutting the teacher to pieces might have occurred, but actually going through with something like that is incredibly unlikely. Even if these kids had actually attempted this plan the most likely outcome is that they would have bottled it as soon as they got yelled at.

While certainly the exposure and desensitization to violence is a factor in this incident, care should be taken not to place blame on content alone. A third grader making detailed plans of violence and attempting to carry them out raises huge red flags in my mind - whoever the particular mastermind of this was needs some serious psychological help, and definitely a social worker to ensure no abuse is present in the home.
blanktom:
the real problem is they got caught.

Oops. Sorry, I've been on too many forums where people say those kind of things perfectly seriously.

No, that would just have been weird. Although I am now confused, but that happens a lot.
