[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]There is a very big difference between run of the mill cheating (glancing at a friend's answers, plagiarizing, etc.) and scaling a wall and breaking into a teacher's office to steal a test.  Seriously.

Duh.  It was a third story window people.  Kid grabbed a ladder.  In thedead of night.  Was dressed in black.  Very well planned.  Until he got caught.  On video.  Surprised it has not gone viral.  My daughter's boyfriend showed it to me.  It is a hilarious video.  Until the laughter dies and all that you are left with is a seriously disturbed kid.[/quote]

He was caught because some of the boarders saw him and thought he was a burglar.  This isn't a sign of a "seriously" disturbed kid.  Geez. What an overstatement. It's the sign of a kid who doesn't understand real world consequences and isn't thinking things through.  Bad choices.  Not unusual in a teenage brain.  [/quote]

It is the sign of a kid who must have felt enormous pressure.[/quote]

That is exactly what I thought.  Desperate time calls for desperate measures.  You have no idea what his expectations are from his family.  Maybe he was on his way out already.  I am not justifying it whatsoever.  He absolutely should have been expelled but maybe this isn't the first time this has happened and the idea came to him from someone else.  I think there is more to investigate here. [/quote]
