[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]

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!?![/quote]

I’m guessing Ms. Zwerner and Dr Parker were not on good terms and specifically didn’t see eye to eye on this kid. I would think that the teacher understandably and rightfully was not happy about this kid being in her class and the ridiculous things they did to keep him there and was probably also not happy about changing to full days without parents. She was probably even less happy about only one day suspension after the incident on the 4th. I can imagine that she could have even complained to Dr Parker that morning, before anyone reported suspicion of a gun.

I’m also guessing that any of the services needed for this kid would have come out of the school’s obviously inadequate budget, and that having the kid show up for morning attendance meant the school received whatever incremental amount of budget increase they get for one student. None of that is any excuse for Dr Parker’s actions, and I’m glad she’s being charged. But I’m guessing the dysfunction goes way beyond the school administration. [/quote]
