[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]A bomb threat AND impersonating another person is something a younger child knows is bad -- I don't care how much the prefrontal cortex is changing. Good for Latin for making a tough decision.[/quote]

They may KNOW its a bad idea and still be impulsive.  When you are impulsive , you don't weigh things. You just DO. I can't tell you how many more times I have seen kids get in trouble for humor--not hate--humor in school. It is a sad day when the school does not have the capacity or initiative to turn that into a learning experience--with consequences, but also acknowledgment that the motive was not hateful but dumb/impulsive/attention seeking/ trying to make a bad joke.  That IS education.  I am very disappointed in Latin admin today.[/quote]

Sending a dirty joke or naked picture would be examples of an impulsive act, this seems premeditated.[/quote]

Not sure how 'premeditated' since they happened upon an email that a student had failed to log out of and did it right then.[/quote]
