[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]“Gun violence at school” (more accurately termed the criminal misuse of firearms by deranged people who might as well have had a revolving light on their head for all the administrators cared), is terrible but fortunately rare. With notable exceptions, schools today typically make some effort to be prepared. Without meaning to minimize in any way your DC’s fear, I wonder if something else might be behind it.

If a 12th grade student isn’t equipped to deal with sexual predators (both administratively and/or via a punch in the nose and a swift kick in the nads), I really don’t know what to say. Again, is there something else behind this?

Definitely get the phone fixed. Is there somebody he can talk to about processing fears and anxieties?  [/quote]

Unfortunately, ar my school last year, we (teachers) flagged a student who openly discussed stabbing and shooting specific students & teachers (by name) to administration, the admin told us that he probably “didn’t really” need an administrative intervention at all. This student would draw swastikas everywhere and was CAUGHT (so think of the times he wasn’t caught) with a knife at school twice. He and his mom both talked about all the guns they had at home. A lot. The mom even told us she was scared of her own kid, but admin didn’t think they needed to do anything with him whatsoever. Quite frankly, I am scared to Google his name. This was middle school, so i have no idea what happened in HS.[/quote]
