Their "hands are tied"? Isn't there some room for reason and discretion in cases like this? I mean, I realize you can't "profile," (heavens forfend!) but can't you look at the kid, look at the circumstances, and make a reasonable decision in a case like this?

I have a REAL hard time believing anyone would lose their job if that were to occur.

They had lots of room. They simply could have thrown the knife away without anyone else knowing about it.

I think I would go to school the next day with backpack full of butter knives and put one in or on every vehicle, teachers included, and then anonymously calling the press. Let them suspend everyone for a year… After all, there's nothing they can do… They can just close down the school then and layoff everyone…

That's the ticket!
