This little guy’s all set to go, but I don’t know how safe his ride will be. My guess is he’ll have a hot back from the motor on the back of that skate board, and he’ll fall off before the ride is over. Ouch!

COMMENTS (2)Did you hear about the 8 year old Brazilian boy who’d always dreamed of becoming a judge? He just passed a law school entrance exam!
The news shocked Brazil’s legal profession and has prompted a federal investigation!
The Universidade Paulista, a multi-campus private university, issued a statement acknowledging that Joao Victor Portellinha de Oliveira had passed the entrance exam and that it initially enrolled him. But he was turned away from classes when he showed up with his father.
The University now claims that the fifth grader must graduate from high school before they’ll accept him into the university program. A university employee erred when they accepted Oliveira’s enrollment and said that the University fees would be returned to the family.
“I think they should have been more considerate,” the boy’s mother, Maristela, told the UOL news website. “At least they could’ve allowed him to visit the college’s facilities.”
The Brazilian Bar Association said the boy’s achievement should be a warning about the low standards of some of the country’s law schools.
Oliveira is two grade levels ahead of normal for his age, but his mother says he’s not a cloistered genius.
“He is a regular boy,” she told the Folha de S. Paulo newspaper. “He is very dedicated, likes to read and study, but he has fun and makes friends.”

Clothespins aren’t just for hanging clothes?
Isn’t this terrible?
A substitute kindergarten teacher in Amanda, Ohio, was so fed up as she listened to four overly-chatty boys. So she silenced them by using clothespins on their mouths.
Ruth Ann Stoneburner was permanently suspended after she admitted to attaching the spring-type clothespins on the kids’ upper or lower lips.
