The parents should find out why the school didn’t call 911.

As an urban school teacher, I'll field that one. In most school districts it is forbidden to call 911. It can be a job-losing action. We are directed to always call the School Safety Office instead.

If you pick up a school phone and dial 911, you don't get 911. You get the do-nothing School Safety Office. Of course, with cell phones it is now much more difficult to enforce that policy. But still you can lose your job if you are found out.

And why that policy in the first place? Administrators want to keep their school violence and school suspension numbers low. That means bonuses and promotions for them. So they handle things in-house. Perhaps the attacker will get a warning. To h*ll with student safety. Careers come first.

That boor boy needs to find a good - and hungry - lawyer.

That is so reassuring to know. The school would rather cover their butts than help their students. More parents should know about this. I bet if they did, the school would lose some of those students.
