Don't be too quick to jump to conclusions: kids in the primary grades HAVE brought loaded guns to school here in Minneapolis.
The biggest problem IMHO is that when the kids are suspended and sent home no one is there. The message they get is that seriously bad behavior results in a holiday. I hope you won't get too bogged down in the swamp of victimhood here: many behaviors that result in suspension seriously interfere with the learning environment for whole classrooms full of their fellow students. Think of the learning time lost for ALL students when one student is seriously disruptive. Again I ask: where are the parents?
