[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I teach kindergarten and I have to say it never occurred to me that I wouldn’t be allowed to search a student’s backpack or pockets. I go in their backpacks all the time to locate forms, put papers in etc. for older kids I wouldn’t but most 6 year olds still need assistance. [/quote]

+1 same for any student in elemtary school where I've worked. I'll add that I've never had an admin who would not support teacher concerns if any kind of weapon were suspected. I honestly can't imagine what the members of this school's admin team (or at Ethan Crumblry"s school) were thinking![/quote]

They were terrified of getting sued by the kids parents. Some admin are so scared of this they will not handle any issue. Ironically they’re now going to get sued into the ground by the teacher who could have been killed because they were so unwilling to do anything that would protect her and the students but upset the boy’s negligent parents [/quote]

Just because the school gets sued doesn’t mean there is a case. Workers comp is the exclusive remedy for injuries that occur in the workplace and I’m sure the school is going to accept her claim. [/quote]
