[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]A private home during non-school hours. Why in hell does the school need to be involved? Unless it was during school hours, on school property or during a school function, the school has NOTHING to do with this incident. [/quote]

Although I understand where you are coming from in some ways, this is a limited view... after school/off school premises  activities often impact school -- if there is a fatal accident involving members of a school class it impacts the school, counselors are called in and the school culture/community is definitely impacted.

Schools are now able to intervene in Bullying situations when there is an impact on school, even if the bullying doesn't occur on school grounds.  We are beginning to see things don't have to happen AT school to impact school.

Telling schools helps them understand the community in which their students live and particpate in, it could help them pinpoint areas of discussion.  It could also help inform community events and outreach.  Telling the school may not lead to "punishment" of a student/family, but could lead to awareness and educating other students/parents about ways to handle such situations.  [/quote]
