[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm sorry. The child is a menace and should NEVER have been put back in a mainstream classroom. It's beyond ridiculous that that's what we do now.

Also, school is 1000% responsible and should pay. The asst principal that would not allow a search of the backpack should be made to pay monetary damages and NEVER work in education again.

Not much to be done about the parents other than they should be charged with allowing a violent kid to gain access to a firearm. Complete and utter losers.

This story makes me incensed on so many levels[/quote]

I don't understand WHY backpack searches weren't allowed. What was the reasoning??

Thankfully I work at a school where my admin trust us - if we felt a need to look through backpacks, it wouldn't be a problem. We're touching kids things all day long (coats, water bottles, lunch boxes, things left behind). A backpack is no different. Hell, all that's in a 1st grader's backpack are their lunch/water/snack, weekly folder, and maybe extra clothing.

Has the school admin give a reason why backpack searches were not allowed??

[b]Around 12:30 p.m., another teacher went to a school administrator and told them that she searched the 6-year-old’s backpack, who at the time was rumored to have brought a gun to school.[/b]

[b]"The teacher then told the administrator that she believed the 6-year-old put the gun in his pocket before going out to recess. The administrator then downplayed the report they received from the teacher saying, “well he has little pockets.”[/b][/quote]
