[quote=Anonymous]At our school, a first grader with a poor behavioral profile threatened a teacher’s kid in his class by saying he was going to bring his grandpa’s gun to school and kill him. It was two days before the principal found time to do a threat assessment, which of course was not found credible. I don’t care if it was a real threat or not. The message needs to be that there will be immediate follow up and phone calls home. Kids need to learn that you can’t threaten each other. The regulations need to include a time factor for the threat assessment. Regarding restorative justice- it’s not used the way it should be. What I have seen at schools where I taught is a kid calls another kid a racial nasty name. Both kids sit with an adult with no training. The White kid says sorry, and the Black kid feels like they should accept the apology to please the adult. The kid who made the slur should be on in-school suspension immediately, and the incident should be logged in the bullying database, and the parents forced to come in. The Black kid should be offered counseling and their parents notified. But nope, that would appear in school statistics and Gatehouse will call the principal and complain that the principal needs to get the school under control. [/quote]
