[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You know what I think? This child was probably threatening violence on a daily basis or acting out on such a regular basis that it became normal to the teachers and other school staff. That counselor and principal probably get a call about that student daily and probably just thought he was lying about it to scare people because that is what he does. That is why everyone somewhat underreacted, a threat or a violent encounter was probably just another routine day at school. [/quote]

The Newport News school system is poorly run, and the school principal is at fault, too-- yet they just transferred her to another school. She allowed a child who had a violent behavioral history and drug addicted criminals for parents to be placed in a young, inexperienced teacher's classroom without an IEP or other supports because the parents wouldn't sign permission. That's when the parents should have been taken through due process/mediation. On top of that, she allowed his parents to be in the classroom daily. On the day of the shooting, that young teacher was left on her own with this extremely disturbed child. What?! No competent, caring principal would do that. These administrators should have both been fired imnediately and not permitted to resign or be placed elsewhere. [/quote]
