Clock Boy this 4 year old is not.

zero tolerance is just that, no exceptions

Which is why it is so stupid; the teacher and school admin has no discretion and discretion is required to manage people intelligently.

I agree, but till a new policy of perhaps review by a group of parent, since too young to be judge by peers, could be implemented

Let parents evaluate and judge the situation.

it might have been threatening. "this is what will be used if you don't do what I/we say"

Schools have a zero redolence.

The casing has not business being in school.

a kid can pick up a casing in the street ------not even knowing what it
is. -------shiny cute thing--------a kid can pick up a sea shell too.-----
I was big on PRETTY FALLEN leaves when I was a kid----the more colors---
the better. -------long long ago-------somehow I watched cops practicing shooting---
as a child-----some kind of demonstration----there were spent casings all over the floor

Not making a judgement, just pointing out how the school might have viewed the situation.

Does not matter if he brought it from home or out side the school in the street.

Schools are really freaking serious about what they have as zero tolerance. If they give in one situation, every case will argue and it will get too complicate.

No excuses or explanations.......... zero tolerance is just that.

I don't like it but most schools have adopted it.

If a drawing of a gun, pop tart bitten to vaguely look like a gun (or L shape) or even a finger pointed like a gun are not allowed, why should a casing?

Yes the world seems to be upside down.

Zero tolerance is an excuse for not being able to be a reasonable human being.

I did not make the policy.
Not everything is all black or white. Zero policies reject the possibility of any gray.

Persons in authority (pre school teachers ---god-help-us) are supposed
to possess a modicum of discretion

Used to when we went to school, but not anymore.

Everything a teacher or principle does can be alarming to some parent or another.

How many stories about teachers and problems with their action have been in the news lately?

The southern Illinois teacher proved - now to the world - that she is completely clueless in regards to firearms.

She reported that she caught 4yo Hunter Jackson with a SHOTGUN BULLET.
- I hope to God everyone out there is bright enough to know there is no such thing. ammunition for shotguns are called SHELLS - shotgun SHELLS. What little Hunter had was NOT a shotgun shell.

It was a .22 caliber bullet CASING.
- A .22 bullet could NEVER be confused with a shotgun shell, as the shotgun shell is much larger that a .22 caliber bullet
- It wasn't even a .22 caliber BULLET - it was the SPENT (used) CASING for a .22 caliber bullet. The only way this thing could have been dangerous is if one of those pre-schoolers would have swallowed it - and even then probably NOT!

Hunter is smarter about guns at 4yo than the teacher, who is an adult.
- Why? Hunter had just spent a bonding afternoon learning the beginnings of gun safety from his grandfather, a police officer.

Hunter's mom was given a piece of paper explaining how her son's actions warranted a 7-day suspension.
- Her mom said she would never have allowed him to take it to school had she known.
- He has no access to weapons or ammo ar home, so he could have just found it somewhere, maybe dropped by another child
- he never threatened anyone with it
- It's a tiny SPENT CASING - incapable of hurting anyone.
- This could have been handled by explaining appropriate behavior at school...but of course this would have required a REAL teacher actually TEACHING.


Good gosh our country is so screwed!

Sounds like the teacher is suffering from a classic case of "election 2016" flashbacks...when I was growing up they were suffering from "electric kool-aid" flashbacks...the left will now revert to their "default" setting [never accept responsibility] and attempt to blame this ridiculousness on everything but the teacher insinuating he/she is the only one who got it right, and I suppose in their world it is right.

They said a kindergarten girl was a threat because she pointed a stick that looked like a gun. How on earth could this make her a threat? Incredible.
