[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Has there been any mention of punishment for the parents beyond the anemic statement I read about how they're looking into it?

I realize a 6 y.o. can't be tried but something really needs to be done with the kid. He is dangerous. I do not care what anyone says.

Is it true that the teacher was threatened by the student & the school looked the other way? Time to sue the school system. [/quote]

Kids say things, even 6 year olds.  Treating a threat from a 6 year old the same as a threat from a high school or middle school student is not the solution.

Do you have kids?  [/quote]

Yes, 6 year olds sometimes say things that can be terrifying.  No, you don't treat a threat from a 6 year old the same as you would a 16 year old.  At the same time, you don't ignore what 6 year olds say.  You take them seriously.  Kids of any age who threaten a teacher or bring in bullets need a psych eval, a behavior plan, a full time 1:1 aide and their backpacks searched daily.  Kids who bring bullets to school have zero place in a gen ed setting.  There are therapeutic schools where kids have to pass through metal detectors.  Yes, even 5 and 6 year olds have to pass through metal detectors.  For good reason.  [/quote]
