I have read numerous posts that the school didn't do enough to stop this young man, or somehow letting him go back to class after a behavior meeting is cause for this tragedy. I'm on mobile so forgive spelling errors.
Here's somethings to think about as you criticize the school:
-
A teacher found a note suggesting he wanted to kill kids. She immediately took him to the principal's office and the parents were called. If parents don't want to do anything about it, schools cannot force kids into therapy without consent.
-
Schools can ask kids if they have access to firearms, but the types of parents who give their kids access to firearms are usually the same ones who freak out about schools asking that question. For you or I it seems logical, but a lot of parents who use guns as a hobby have an emotional attachment to their guns and think anyone remotely associated with the government, at any level, should stay silent about them. They conflate the right to own guns with the right to do whatever they want with them and it's no one's business. People don't freak out about asking if kids have access to a car after stealing a car, but they do for guns.
-
Schools try to take the safest approach with kids "on the edge". If they act too fast without "the right evidence", parents complain schools are picking on their kids. If a kid makes a bad joke most parents will tell the kid to knock it off, but some parents tell the school they're being too sensitive. Most importantly, these parents tell their child the school is being unreasonable and there's no need to change their behavior. Like the gun example above, they feel the world needs to bend for them, not the other way around.
