What grade does your wife teach? My fiance is a teacher and something like that would be my worst nightmare. I definitely feel for ya.
not that this makes you feel any better, but I feel like that's exactly how so many of these tragedies happen. People downplay it, push it off, ignore it, say there's not much they can do or don't take it as seriously as they should.
I would be scared too :sad:

I don't know what to tell you, besides the fact that sounds serious and hopefully some sense can be talked into the parents. And what kind of idiot parents, one of whom has aspergers, wouldn't be able to predict their children might have aspergers, or at least some autistic tendencies?
My mom works in an urban middle school and there's always a fear in the back of my mind that she's going to be hurt by one of her more aggressive kids, or the drug addicts that wander into the school on a semi-regular basis. If she feels strongly she should advocate for her own protection, it's her right.
True and the key here is that the kid shouldn't have access to guns. It takes two things for this situation. A mentally unstable person and access to weapons.
The same kind of denial would lead a parent to take their disturbed child to a gun range.
The joy of the public school system. Just throw more money their way. It's always a quick fix
My mom is legitimately a saint for the **** she puts up with for what she makes at that school. It's just so poorly run and in such a bad neighborhood.
Because they wouldn't want their child to have a complex even if it lowered the risk of something bad happening.
If he's repeating it and the parents are brushing it off I'd file a complaint with the cops. Seems like elevating at the school level did no good.
Keep taking it up the ladder.
corporal punishment back in schools would help
thank your national Teacher's Union. So happy they're NY-based. always have everyone's best interests at heart, especially in fly-over country.
can we keep this out of the cave or you start your own cave thread on the topic? Please?
you think a thread on school shootings can stay out of the cave?? not a chance.
If he is special needs for behavior and not academic needs, the reality is there is little the school can do. IF the student as a behavior disability, and IF it is determined these outbursts are a result of the disability, the school has limited options. By law, the student must be placed in the least restrictive environment possible. And the courts and Office of Civil Rights can get involved to ensure that is the case. In addition, a student with a behavior IEP can only be suspended for a total of 10 days maximum in the entire year. There are ways around but it takes a determined administrator and supportive Superintendent and school board.
Now, actually bringing a weapon can be grounds for expulsion, behavior disorder or no. But threats will often result in little corrective action. Sad reality.

Actually, there is still corporal punishment in some states. And corporal punishment isn't a solution for parenting, mental health issues and/or our culture.
