He definitely did not lose it.
How could you know?
Weird that he got his binder stolen. Seems much more plausible that he misplaced it.

Why would someone steal the binder but not the laptop? It doesn’t make sense. I’m sorry it’s gone. What do you think the school should or can do?
The school could make it clear to students that theft is unacceptable and comes with consequences if they are caught. It is not doing that.
Do you think if we tell all people that theft is unacceptable, then it’ll stop all over the world? Grow up. It’s in the SR&R, they have parents, and live in the US - they know it’s unacceptable and comes with consequences “if caught.”
They did not take the school laptop because they know that comes with consequences. They did take everything else (including the money) because they know there won't be any. Certainly not from the school based on their response.

Vector probably was a school laptop. No one wants those.

OP, just wanted to say I’m sorry your kid got ripped off - that sucks at any school at any time of the year.

What does this mean? What makes Carson different than any other place when it comes to theft?

Why does he keep money inside his laptop case? Just curious. I see no need to send any money with my child to school. Lunch is deducted from his account.

I think we can all safely agree that theft crosses all socioeconomic lines. Have you seen the news covering Sam Friedman?

This is normal for every middle and high school everywhere. In my day it was gym shoes and graphing calculators that were stolen, now it’s earbuds and phones.
I’m sorry your child is going through it—it’s a rough reality check that not everyone is honest and kind
