[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What was the motive of the administrators re: the whole situation, and the day of the shooting? As a parent, I don't understand. [/quote]

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.  [/quote]

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. [/quote]

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.[/quote]
