By the way, I believe this is the “gun” case.

They suspended the kid.

The circumstances under which a mandatory reporter must make a report vary from State to State.
Typically, a report must be made when the reporter, in his or her official capacity, suspects or has reason to believe that a child has been abused or neglected. Another frequently used standard is the requirement to report in situations in which the reporter has knowledge of, or observes a child being subjected to, conditions that would reasonably result in harm to the child. In Maine, a mandatory reporter must report when he or she has reasonable cause to suspect that a child is not living with the child’s family.
Emphasis mine.
State laws may vary… but if the teacher suspects dangerous conditions… they report
Is having a belt in view during a zoom class “child endangerment”? How about a coat hangar? Hot wheels track? Electrical extension cord? A human hand?

No I think it was a Colorado case. Gun hanging on the wall.
It is seen as punitive. Otherwise they wouldn’t do it.
This one?

Is it? Do they expect the parents to correct the behavior?
That is a real ■■■■■■■ stretch your attempting there. You are trying to make something fit your argument instead of actually confirming it.
I believe so…
Of course. It doesn’t matter how the child views the punitive behavior. Some criminal don’t see prison as punitive or fines as punitive… that doesn’t mean that they aren’t.
This has yet to be addressed.
The student was removed from an extracurricular activity at school, where the student was required to meet a code of conduct to participate in that activity.
The student did not meet those guidelines. The student was removed from that activity.
As WW stated, that is much different than a random student making a smart ass comment, then being suspended from school for doing so.
As in real life, posting stupid crap on the internet, can come back to bite one in the ass.
@PurpnGold you do bring up an interesting point with this zoom tangent.
It has a relatively easy, albeit absurd, fix. The parents simply need to adapt their homes to the standards of the Karen teachers so vapors aren’t given.
If for example I had a 1st grader and wanted him doing class in the kitchen, I could simply make sure there were no butcher knives on the counter or pots cooking on the stove in the background.
I could completely sanitize one room so there was no danger of Academic Annie being offended by anything she sees in my home because she’s stupid.
The question is; should I have to?

Is the school putting them in prison with 10 day suspension?
Still going to claim the teacher thought he was endangered?
No such law exists anywhere in the US.
Good question.
I think a parent who wants to hide something during those calls could easily do so. So I think the parents who are truly dangerous won’t be displaying anything that would tip the teacher off.
The student could still show signs of abuse… be the environment would not be an indicator
It doesn’t matter if it’s prison or not. If the intent is punitive… then it punitive. Whether or not the subject views it that way is another story.
Seriously?
She should have been fired and the school sued.
I don’t understand his post or what it is referencing or who B.L. is.
As for extracurricular activities, how do we feel about high school sports players kneeling or otherwise protesting the national anthem if the school code of conduct specifies standing or whatever?
I would hate to see them kicked off a team for that.
Read up on mandatory report laws…
