She didn’t count on the kid being surrounded by reasonable adults who already knew the boy, and decided to listen to him. This was not going to be a Pop-Tart Shaped Gun = Hysterical Teacher Moment. Makes you wonder what other things the father has decided he was ‘too busy’ to question about her decisions. The Dad better check his wallet, credit cards, and any new Life Insurance Policies too. No doubt her fingerprints are all over them both.
Why wasn’t Zero Tolerance enforced? The kid HAD the gun on school grounds. GUILTY. Expel him! Judgement must not be permitted or somebody else might sue us! (sarc)
