[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Maybe schools should actually hire trained psychologists (and not just one to supervise a huge cluster of schools) rather than warm bodies with “social work” degrees or whatever it is they are hiring now.

I CANNOT believe that counselor didn’t take one look at that drawing and the internet search and go immediately to the principal/police. JFC - the kids practically sky wrote what he was about to do.[/quote]

Ah yes, a psychology degree is the magical factor that was missing here after at least a dozen people were aware of this kid's problems and failed to stop him. [/quote]

Exactly. More six-figure freeloaders with degree mill credentials were needed at the district and the county level. Not enough worthless bureaucracy and layers of fiefdoms in Michigan's wealthiest county. :roll: [/quote]

Social workers are much more effective in these types of situations. Despite "only" having a Masters degree. [/quote]

But it is EXTREMELY difficult to predict danger with accuracy, even for highly trained forensic psychologists. The "science" is just not that developed.

Of course, after the fact when you are posting on DCUM, the answer is obvious.

But there are thousands of poorly paid professionals making such judgement calls everyday  in the US.

Their work would certainly be less high stakes in other countries, where guns are not so widely available. [/quote]

How about we make it a policy to err on the side of caution when a kid draws a school shooting in school?[/quote]
