They could use the knife to cut out the babies

this is unexcusable... unless he was a minority

The parents should be thrown in jail. What parent in their right mind would send a 6-year old kid to school with a camping "swiss army knife?"

The kid may have known how to handle it ... IF ... it remained in his possession at all times, but what if older kids decided they wanted the knife to "settle a score" with a rival? What if the kid put up a fight and was injured by his own camping "swiss army knife?"

What guarantee can the kid or the family offer that the knife will always be in the possession of the kid and no other child will be harmed - either by his hand or at the hand of another student who took the knife from him (with or without his permission)?

Some parents are just stupid - this is why these rules are written to the lowest common denominator ... to protect the kids in our schools from stupid parents.

Awfully self-righteous of you, don't you think?

So, by your logic, any parent who fails to search their first-grader's back pack daily for weapons is criminally liable.

Sort of an off-the-rails comment in a thread that doesn't even have a link to reality (sic) and accompanied by some knee-jerk vomit about pregnant HS girls.

Scintillating analysis, really.

Now carry on.

Yes, it's the job of parents to keep their kids safe.

Well, it used to be.

I have one of those "swiss army knife" doodads. It's put away in a generally safe place, although certainly not locked in a weapon vault.

Never, not once, when my kids were in kindergarten or first grade or whenever, did my morning come to a screeching halt with the realization that "oh my god, I forgot to search lil dude's backpack for weapons before he got on the bus".

Looking back, I see now where I went wrong. Truly, I too yearn for the simple days of yore, where every parent did weapons checks daily, and never needed school rules as a parental substitute.

Glenn Beck was right. I wish we could ALL go back in time...sob...sniffle...weep.

Yes, throw those fucktard parents in the pen. Hopefully not anywhere near the ICE detention pen, cause that would be cruel and unusual punishment.

Nobody's using common sense anymore. If the kid was found with the knife, calmly using it on his lunch, then it makes sense to confiscate it, tell the kid not to bring it anymore, and have his parents come and get it if you can't send it home with him. A kid who brings a knife to school to stab someone isn't going to use it to cut up his lunch, first (unless said kid is an idiot).

I remember when I was in 1st grade, we were allowed to bring a pumpkin and a serrated knife no longer than like, 3 or 4 inches for a halloween pumpkin carving. Nobody ended up stabbed at the end of the day.

Shit, I probably still have a graphite pencil point imbedded in my arm from high school when someone sharpened a pencil, then stabbed me with it.

The whole argument is ridiculous, and we have the stupid helicopter parents to thank for that.

Oh hell yeah, I carried one of those in my arm for a long ass time. Can't find it anymore--I guess graphite must have a 15 year half-life or something.

There was some serious pencil-stabbing going on in the music room at lunchtime. I remember one kid with like 5-6 graphite wounds. His parents should have been thrown in jail for birthing him, but that's another thread.

Exactly, and wood pencils are still allowed in school. Sure, little Hunter is only stabbing little Cody in the arm now, but how soon until their fued escalates and Cody, in blind rage, stabs poor little Hunter in the eye? If only the schools would outlaw these DANGEROUS WRITING IMPLEMENTS.

That has to be about the most stupid thing I have ever seen written here. And hell, I am sure I write some dumb shit stuff from time to time - but seriously RestonLass?

How about instead we teach the kids common sense and test them on that when they are in school? I suppose we are moving to a "box cutter" moment with the kids now - they are all little pocket terrorists, just waiting for the moment to strike with their "gumby scissors". We need to make sure the teacher's lounge has the latest in biometric protection so the kids don't manage to stage a riot and run in with their metal edged rulers and compasses to poke the teachers eyes out.

If you can’t model the past, where you know the answer pretty well, how can you model the future? - William Happer Cyrus Fogg Brackett Professor of Physics Princeton University

I blame it all on the Bush administration. If they hadn't shorn half our forests for dastardly pencil production, and ignored the plight of the lily-livered finchlet to continue to enslave millions of illegal immigrants in their graphite mines, schoolchildren would all be writing with Bic pens now (made in China).

And ink wounds only have a 3 year body-absorption rate.

Damn them.

At the very least, give them mechanical pencils with thin graphite and a blunt nose.

But that probably wouldn't work. All those moving parts could easily become bomb-making components.

Personally, I think any writing that kids need to do in school should be done with non-toxic, environmentally-friendly fingerpaints on a reusable piece of soft plastic.

It's the only way to be sure.

Now, about those hard desk surfaces...

Inka-wounds, on the other hand (pun intended) scar for life. Those poor McLean HS girls....sigh.
