[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The kid was taken to the hospital.  Lots of blood.  My kid came home with the story. [/quote]

Yes the boy was in my DC’s class apparently he was in the hospital for a couple of days with a head injury. If I would be pressing criminal charges against that girl, if he were my son. I would also have an unending crusade to get her kicked out of school period.[/quote]

DCPS would have an unending response that you can take a leap, as they should since you can't and shouldn't easily expel a student, particularly a 6th grader.[/quote]

Especially if the kid has an IEP. There would be a manifestation meeting, and the child would be back in school the next day. [/quote]

That’s horrible for the boy who was hospitalized. I hope they sue that girl’s parents for all the medical expenses. Sue them into permanent  poverty. She’s a monster.[/quote]

While being injured at school is bad, it's also terrible for an adult to judge a 12-year-old that she doesn't know on a public forum and call her a "monster." Kids make bad decisions. My dad lit a gas jet on fire in high school chemistry, broke a kid's nose by dumping him headfirst into a cafeteria garbage can, and had to get a paper route to pay for the lawyer his parents hired to deal with a separate situation. Now he is an adult with no criminal record, a DCUM-level income, and college-educated kids who've never been in trouble with the law. Children can mature. I hope your kid never makes a bad decision but if he does I bet you'll come around to the concept that kids aren't monsters--they are kids, who need to be responsible for their actions but who can repent and grow.

Also, if this student is reflective of the average DCPS middle schooler, "permanent poverty" where she's spent her whole life already. Suing is not going to change that. [/quote]

Why doesn’t DCPS provide adequate support for kids with needs?! Why should other kids deal with serious injuries because DCPS can’t mainstream kids properly?[/quote]
