A judge in Virginia declared that it was “frightening” that a school decided to suspend a sixth grade student for not informing that his classmate brought a bullet to the class faster after the child waited until his test ended.
Judge Vivian Henderson or Virginia Beach ruled in favor of Rachel Wigand, the mother of the suspended girl, in her demand against the St. John the Apostle Catholic School. Wigand said that private school violated his contract for suspension of his son for a day and a half in September.
His son, identified as AW, was suspended the same amount of time as the student who brought the bullet to school.
In September, AW was in class preparation for a standardized test when another classmate showed him a bullet. He waited until the test ended, he went to his next class, then he went to tell the director about the bullet, Anderson told NBC News.
The school quickly called the police and the officers recovered the bullet of the student’s backpack. Approximately two hours passed between Aw Show The Bullet and his report to the director, Anderson told The Outlet.
The Wigand representative argued that the school could have easily arrested or another form of action at school.
“A suspension in a child’s academic record is permanent. When he enrolls a child in subsignal educational places, they ask him that question: has his son ever suspend his leg? What happened to his son? The mother was that.
Henderson witnessed that AW was “the unfortunate victim in the matter” and found that the entire situation “accumulates, due to a better word, for this court.”
“Especially in an environment in which … younger and younger children are forced to make decisions similar to adults with clear limits or parameters,” Henderson said in a recording of Monday’s audience caused to Andon NBC News.
Meanwhile, the school lawyer encoded the manual and the registration contract of the school to defend the suspension of AW, which establishes that he had the right to distribute “a more or less severe form of discipline.”
They added that the option of sending Wigand’s son was ultimately establishing a clear standard in school security and “trying a” Hey lesson, so it is important. “
Since he was suspended, AW supposedly faced bullying at school and his frustrated mother hopes to register him and his other children in a new school in the future, he said.
