Anonymous wrote:Part of the problem at the school is that the principal is not honest. It was not just a steak knife. It was a sharp, straight edge, knife. Another student’s life was threatened if he told. Fortunately, older kids saw the knife and told the teacher.

It also doesn’t help that parents seem to want to remain ignorant or logically explain situations away. This school has been managed poorly since the principal took over almost 3 years ago.

The principal put out an email stating that no one was harmed, and there was no intention to inflict harm on anyone. So, why bring a knife to school? And what about the trauma for the students and their teacher? Let’s keep it real here, children are showing up to school with weapons to hurt staff and students all over the country.

Have you ever heard of PB & J lol.

Kids bring plastic knives someone made a mistake.

One interesting item we heard was the kid in question had their tonsils out and is now behaving much better. I am hopeful that now the kid is on a much better trajectory. It sounds like they are getting the medical care needed.

Many people in the community and school seem to reacting positively and earnestly to this situation. I am hopeful we are seeing a positive trend.

It’s not ok to shame or out kids here.

Never understood why these posts are not deleted.
You're out of line OP.

I get that this is a tricky topic but I don't see how OP was out of line? Did I miss something?

We're not zoned for SCES, but I personally know two former SCES kindergarteners whose parents pulled them this year.

Because it was a troll post. The last "update" from the OP made that clear.

If only

Stop trolling the people gullible enough to believe this story.

Not OP but as a member of the community it is really frustrating to see this very real situation dismissed and denied. I know a child who was seriously hurt at the school this year. It seems pretty obvious from the thread that multiple posters corroborated the basic story. (No knowledge of OP’s most recent update.)

I don't deny there are real problems. But this story isn't one of them. Surely you know that given where the thread has gone. It is a disservice to the cause to make up or perpetuate obviously false stories.

Apart from the tonsils update, I have personal knowledge of many of the anecdotes on this thread (the water bottle being thrown at the para who needed stitches, kids getting concussion, a K teacher quitting on the spot). So no, I’m sorry to say this isn’t a fake.

That changes everthing. I'm sure "Anonymous" would never lie to promote their cause.

Fair enough but who are you to deny this happened if you aren’t a member of the community?

Who are you to say it did?

A person who lives in the neighborhood who knows a child who was injured. You may not believe me and that’s fine but you don’t know what you are talking about.
