[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]

So.. let me get this straight...you think these two woke up that morning, put on their socks and headed to school intending to give this fellow (did they even know his religion?) a hard time and hey presto, his computer was open?  [/quote]
