Not that poster, but the mother was charged with lying about her concealed carry permit and hiding her drug use. This is completely different from the charges of the parents of the (other state) school shooter recently. |
She was charged with felony child neglect in addition to the lying on the gun form. She's in jail. |
What was the motive of the administrators re: the whole situation, and the day of the shooting? As a parent, I don't understand. |
This is shocking, so much worse than previously reported. Ms. Zwerner collapsed bleeding in the main office and the principal opened the door, saw her, and turned around to hide and closed her door on her?! The violent kid tried to fire again and again? He punched the teacher who got him away from the gun? They asked a violent 6 year old for permission to search his backpack? They let an adult with a criminal history and a drug addicted adult sit in a first grade classroom for weeks/months? He never completed K, but that was hidden by the principals, too? They had the child in class only for 1.5 hrs a day for months and did not unenroll him from mainstream classroom after all. of. this? I hope they charge more people in this. I hope Ms.Zwerner gets a huge payout. And I hope this puts administrators everywhere on notice, not to tolerate violence in a mainstream classroom, or on a bus, or wherever there are other children. This particular kid needs to be institutionalized for good. He will not turn around. |
Yes, that’s right, but still not like the other case. |
They prioritized the "rights" of that severely disturbed, violent child over the rights of the innocent children and teachers in that school. And when the shit hit the fan, they scrambled to cover their own asses by hiding in their offices and making the child's disciplinary records disappear. Zero professionalism, zero ethics. Pure evil. They should never work in education again. |
Are you asking if the school administrators were deliberately trying to get someone shot? No, they weren't. No 6 year old had ever shot a teacher before - and hasn't since. It was literally unheard of. The kid was trouble and they were not handling it well. They didn't act quickly, but they had no real reason to think that day would be different than any other day. |
All I can see is extreme laziness. And simply not wanting to deal with any of it. The comment of the assistant principal that Ms.Zwerner can call go ahead and call the parent herself if she wants the boy picked up early!?! |
I didn’t post that it was like the other case. Can you please move on?! |
Destroying evidence is a crime. the administrator should be charged with obstruction of justice. To allow her to still have her job (she’s still posting in twitter) is wrong for so many reasons, the least of which is to be complicit in her criminal behavior. When the investigators finally got the file back from Dr. Parrott, ALL parts of the disciplinary file were missing. All of it. This is a huge cover up. It cannot be allowed to stand. |
Did you read the report. This child the year before in K, had been so violent so many times and it cultivating in him choking his teacher from behind that required another adult to remove him (teacher couldn’t do it). That adult took the child to the assistant principal, who then brought the child back to K that same day and wanted him back in the classroom. Told the teacher the matter had been handled. It was only after the same teacher, who an hour before had been saved by another adult from her student trying to KILL her, threatening to quit (either the child permanently leaves the classroom or I do) did the assistant principal do something. Don’t be an apologist. Did they think the kid had a gun? Well it seems the assistant principal had zero Fs to give at her job AT ALL so she didn’t really thinking about anything. Her completely and total apathetic attitude is mind blowing and dangerous. This same woman lied to the 1st grade teacher and said the kid was new, had previously been in school for K in Chicago. WTF? I don’t know what’s the deal with Parker but it’s criminal. |
If you think principals don't destroy student records... This particular instance turned into a criminal case. Ordinarily, it's just a school record which will eventually be destroyed anyway. |
It's the job of a school administrator, like other public officials, to lie when necessary. Not sure how you never knew that. In general, it works out okay (plenty of parents think they know more than they do and need to know more than they do). This time it didn't. |
100% agree! |
