Look, in these tough economic times, she's just trying to teach the lil' ones to appreciate what they have

A March story from WMAR-TV:

A kindergarten teacher in Connecticut has been arrested for allegedly forcing a 5-year-old boy to eat food the child had thrown in a garbage can.

Sixty-seven-year-old Anne O'Donnell, a teacher at Park City Magnet School in Bridgeport, was arrested Tuesday on a charge of risk of injury to a minor.

School officials say the charge stems from an incident last week when the boy apparently tossed out his lunch of chicken nuggets and a banana from the school cafeteria.

The teacher is accused of retrieving the items from the garbage can and forcing the boy to eat them in front of her. O'Donnell has been released on a promise to appear in court.

Reminds me of that episode of "Seinfeld" when George got busted picking food out of the trash. See, he was just thinking ahead, of the rough economic waters that were to come. George is saving some money!
