[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Many posts here note a disability. What is the disability here? Where is this coming from? [/quote]

[b]Any kid who shoots a teacher on purpose has some kind of disability.[/b]  It might be undiagnosed, but he has some kind of behavioral or emotional disability.  Maybe ODD or conduct disorder or some mental illness or something.

It also comes from teachers, who have all had kids they know have a disability of some kind, but we get blown off.  It takes years to get a kid evaluated at times OR someone has to be seriously injured, and or it takes several serious injuries to finally get a kid eval'd and helped.  I have three kids in my gen ed room this year who have something very wrong with them.  It'll take them bringing a weapon for anything to happen, if even then.  We're over it.

Not necessarily.  What would happen if you handed a bunch of 5 year olds loaded guns and told them to go play?  Young children would not understand the consequences.  Many have little understanding and still blur the lines between make believe and reality.  Kids this age still get into little fights with each other over trivial things.  You may even recall a time when your young neurotypical child hit you and told you he wishes you would die.  It’s all normal and harmless because they are not carrying loaded weapons.  The adults who allowed a young child to access a real loaded weapon failed this most likely neurotypical kid.[/quote]
