An 11-year-old student with special needs was pulled over by police for running a stop sign after he took his teacher's car for a joy ride earlier this week.

The boy took his teacher's car keys Monday at the Academic and Behavior Center East in Houston after telling her he needed to return to the bathroom, to which he had just gone.

He headed to the parking lot for her car.

Police called school officials two hours later saying they had pulled him over after he ran a stop sign, the Houston Chronicle reported.

No injuries were reported.

He also took an assistant principal's car for a brief ride in March 2008.

School officials say the student will be reassigned to a school with a "more controlled environment."

How about putting this kid with a more controlled teacher. What teacher in his or her right mind would turn over the keys to an auto to any child of any age.

You can not open the paper or turn on the television, without hearing about some teacher doing something stupid. This takes the cake. It leaves you wondering where the schools go to find these people. They must be recruiting at a psychiatric hospital.
