Only when you have teachers and administrators with IQ's similar to plants.
If I had kids, I would not consider subjecting them to these idiots.
Quite the assumption you are making, to be a teacher these days you need to have a Masters Degree in most schools. I am willing to bet the teacher has a higher I than you are willing to credit them with.
I can only assume you would home school your hypothetical children?
No, I would prefer we catch warning signs that could help prevent school shootings. We don't know this child so it is impossible to say if he was a problem child or not or if this is something that he could potentially do in the future.
What "warning signs"?
He could also "potentially" find the cure for cancer in the future except he can't get accepted into any university now or get scholarships or find a decent paying job because some teacher over reacted when he was 16 and had him arrested for shooting an extinct animal in a fictional story.

Yes, that's the way to show him who's boss.
The level of paranoia is astounding to me.
You have to ask the teacher that question because the teacher was the one that brought attention to the potential warning sign.
Also, the student wasn't arrested for what he wrote, you must have missed that when reading the article.
For not having read the assignment you seem to make a pretty definitive statement on it.
I can only base it off what the teacher said and has acted. If this was a general fictional writing assignment, then I don't see why the teacher needed to bring attention to this.
He probably wouldn't have been arrested had he not been disorderly, that has nothing to do with the writing assignment
Well chicken and egg. He wouldn't have been subjected to a ridiculous search of his locker and bookbag if the teacher didn't overreact and the principal didn't call the cops. I think most of the people here are saying the same thing - why didn't school first try to employ common sense in this incident?
