No, it seems you are now the one whom seems confused. I will make it easy for you.
First you said to those thinking the authorities overstepped, that we must not be parents, or at least we were bad parents who don't care for the safety of our children.
TH replied giving an answer you didn't like and thus you wrote him off since his son is not yet school age.
My question was, where shall you move your GOALPOSTS next?
I am not confused
I am satisfied with what the teachers and police did
we may not hear about it
but
the parents will be grilled about what happened
and
I hold them responsible

You hold them responsible for what exactly? Aiding and abetting the making of a clock?
Yep, let's interrogate people when their kids get picked on and don't break the law. No way this could ever go wrong.

They're letting him read The Martian! :shocked:
"I recommend using this opportunity to talk with your child about the Student Code of Conduct and specifically not bringing items to school that are prohibited. Also, this is a good time to remind your child how important it is to immediately report any suspicious items and/or suspicious behavior they observe to any school employee so we can address it right away. We will always take necessary precautions to protect our students."

Sounds like some moron of a jobsworth trying to justify the unjustifiable.
The teachers were stupid and wrong in this instance, I thought you would be happy about that.

I disagree with you.

Drop a link next time. And sending a letter to parents isn't the same as "grilling" them.
Also: "The Student Code of Conduct prohibits students from possessing, among other items, 'any articles not generally considered to be weapons, including school supplies, when the principal or designee determines that a danger exists.'"
So: What danger existed? They knew it wasn't a bomb.

Why were police called in the first place?
Because an english teacher thought it was a bomb.

If they thought it was a bomb and called police, why didn't they evacuate the school?
They wanted to single this kid out and give him a hard time, but knew he posed no actual threat. Given the facts, this makes the most sense.
:think: THAT is odd ... and IF they truly believed it was a bomb, those responsible for not calling the police should be fired.
Beats me, the parents of the student in question wont allow the full story to be known, citing him being a minor. They only want their side known.
Keep in mind.... we are talking about government run schools. They are not that bright.
But even still... I'm glad the teacher took some action. If my kid was in that class I would be thankful.
Well, I will say the English teacher who started this entire kerfuffle's a real flake.
So they were clever enough to foil a possible "test run" by some kind of terror cell that chose to operate in one of the most ill-conceived locations in America, but stupid enough not to evacuate their school building.
Dang... I didn't see this other thread and I started one on the same topic.
My bad.
My bad.
Borrowed this from another thread, do tell what exactly is different between them and how you believe an english teacher, should know the difference - explain in detail and show us the explosives in the picture with an actual bomb.
