Boy threatens to shoot people at Ozark’s Carroll High School

To begin with, I did not read where the article stated anything about someone being bullied.  It simply stated that someone had threatened bullets for certain boys.  I am unsure why we immediatly want to blame our educators on the problems with our children.  Furthermore, where does a high school kid gain access to bullets or guns?  Having said all this, if we want to place blame, who sold a kid bullets?  Who left bullets accessible for a kid to obtain?  So, in other words, lets quit trying to place blame and figure out the root of the problem as to why he would want to place that type of harm on others….........Until our children are made to be accountable for their actions, these types of incidents are going to continue to occur.

I hope all the things that CHSMom says are true.  Her post suggests that the school may not have been such a great place two years ago.  If the new principal is doing things to clean-up the school then I retract my firing statement.  Good education administrators are rare today because of the salaries involved.  I know very little about the school system here and can only draw conclusions based on the limited information from the story and my information provided by past students.  My belief is that schools are a place for education first and foremost.  If there is something that prevents a student from receiving that education, then it must be investigated and repaired if possible.  The responsibility should fall upon parents with the teachers and administration supporting and advising.  For many students who do not continue their education, this may be their glory days and the memories should be positive.  I doubt the school experience has been positive for the student who has bullets for certain boys.  I am sure that it is not getting any better now that he has become infamous.  Maybe CHSMom can add additional information to this story as it appears she has a good relationship with not only the administration, but with her student as well.

I do not agree with “the principal should be fired”...I know for a fact that the principal does not tolerate any type of behavior of the such.  I am sure that all Administrators involved with this situation are handling it in the most appropriate, swiftly and legal way possible.  CHS has gone through some major changes over the past 2 years, and I have to comment on how the changes have been for the better.  I am no longer worried about my child attending CHS, I know that the current Administration and teachers there have the best interest of my child and all the others there at heart.  Kudos CHS on all the positive changes that have and are taking place.  GO CHS!!!!
