I don't think any clear thinking teacher, cop or judge thinks that this arrest is to cure the kid. Give hime 6 more years and he may not even remember the event. If I were in the situation I would call the police so that the child is quickly removed from the situation, the parents are made aware of their childs actions and the lack of tolerance we will show for such behavior and to act as a deterant to the other kids. Schools are not here to teach morals that is the parents job. Hopefully the parents realize that they are failing as such if they are not teaching better behavior.
A school is responsable to provide instruction in a safe environment, once the environment is made unsafe by some miscreant, it is their responsibility to remove the unsafe element. Kudos to this teacher for doing her job.
