We ...I'm with Karen about the zero tolerance thing. We had an incident like this at my high school last year. This kid (who was officially somewhat psychotic) took a knife about the same size and was flipping it around in his keyboarding class. He freaked out a girl sitting next to him, who reported it to the teacher, who reported to administration, who voted to expel him.<BR/>I don't think he was allowed back to the school for this current school year. In other words, 4" knife=lifetime expulsion from my school.<BR/><BR/>And I really don't buy the whole "clipped to pants from the day before" thing.

I think he should get an education, but not at the expense of the other kid's safety. Why does he need to carry a knife to school, okay, it was on his pants from the day before. This begs the questions, did he go to school the day before?<BR/><BR/>Expulsion and not of a loogey is the only option. Let the mother educate him if she isn't afraid of her son carrying a knife.<BR/><BR/>http://karensyed.blogspot.comAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
