[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]New WaPo article has incredible accounts of students past violent behavior. I dont understand how he could have done these things IF his parents or grandparents were with him at school. The parents’ statement made it seem like the week of the shooting was the ONLY time they weren’t there. But WaPo article outlines him making threats, throwing furniture, barricading the doors and wandering around campus unsupervised. Where were his parents when this was going on?

Holy f-ing $hit.

[b]“The Virginia teacher who was shot by a 6-year-old student repeatedly asked administrators for help with the boy but officials downplayed educators’ warnings about his behavior, including dismissing his threat to light a teacher on fire and watch her die, according to messages from teachers obtained by The Washington Post.
The previously unreported incidents raise fresh questions about how Richneck Elementary School in Newport News handled the troubled student before police say he shot Abigail Zwerner as she taught her first-grade class earlier this month. Authorities have called the shooting “intentional” but are still investigating the motive.”[/b][/quote]
Every district in the country is dealing with this. I hesitate to say every school but it absolutely wouldn’t surprise me. [/quote]

I am a teacher who battled in vain to get anything done for a schizophrenic student who last year would sit in my class openly talking out loud to the voices he heard and punching the air and would roam the school to find drugs if an adult wasn’t with him every second and yes, I agree, every school is dealing with it, there are not enough options for kids with real issues and often nothing can be done UNTIL they are actually violent.
