You're right about the teacher's responsibility in the matter. What really concerns me about all of these ambiguous laws is this, how do you keep track of everything? What ever happened to childhood mistakes? The boy is wrong, and should be suspended. But, not prosecuted. Children are not being taught what is right or wrong, but later, they are held to the highest standard when it comes to prosecution.

We are now in a pure litigation society, where people are now asking the courts to decide thier life choices, and petty disputes. Since when did our public school system become a proxy court house? Where is the true crime in an 11 year old? I would wonder about a 22 year old in college, but not an 11 year old. I actually think it was quite humorous, as wrong as it is, that kid has balls.

What responsibility? These clueless incompetent nitwits never expect to be held accountable for anything, but woe to a child who is just learning about the world around him... what he learns is that these same "adults" will call the cops if he does something wrong. The state now gets involved in what used to be handled between the schools and the parents. I really feel sorry for kids these days, because many never learn what righteous judgment is. Good authority figures - people who know how to 'lay down the law' without involving authorities, while teaching a lesson and deterring future mischief - are practically non-existent. Everything becomes a federal case, nobody thinks for themselves, they call an agent of the government to take care of their silly problems, and voila! sane people are herded into the cattlecars.

How many felonies sid you commit today? The shear weight and volume of the law guarantees that we are all criminals. Fortunately, once you come to the knowledge that you are in fact an outlaw, all the guilt is erased.
