[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I hope this whole awful situation does one thing - that it shakes the tree to find out exactly WHO is responsible for violent students in the classroom. Is it the school admin? The government due to crappy laws? Or the parents (even if the kid doesn’t bring a gun to school - obviously this situation is even worse in that regard).

Everyone will point the finger at everyone else at first, but hopefully after this case we’ll have more clarity about what we need to do as a country to get order back into our schools and get the violent kids out.[/quote]

There have been violence kids in school for forever. The Columbine mass shooting happened in 1999. Parkland happened.  Neither of those mass killings done by high school students provided us with clarity and I doubt this case with a six year old boy whom the school system has barely even had the opportunity to get to know is going to make any difference in sorting this out. But maybe it will shed some light on the need for services for very young kids. [/quote]

You are incorrectly conflating mass murder in the form of school shootings with the issue at hand with this case, which is how special education in the US operates in a way that puts students and staff at risk of children whose needs are too extreme for a public school setting but who are left there anyway. This is a case of systemic negligence and oversight , not a mass murder and it’s different. [/quote]

Not necessarily. The Parkland shooter had serious special needs and was famously failed by the public schools. [/quote]
