School 'Code of Conduct'

[TigerD]

Actually, we encourage ALL kids to report anything now. Texts, graffiti, even things they see on social media. Weapons would absolutely be in this category. Bullying as a result of such a report would cause the perpetrators to be suspended or expelled.

School is a totally different place from when you or I attended. The "rules" have changed, now that kids are being killed at school nearly every month or so.

And what do you think is going to happen to the OP after he reports this gang of thugs?
If they have the malice in their hearts that you are concerned about, the OP will at the least take a beating and at the most get carved up like a pumpkin. If they don't then those kids are forever harmed by a pointless nanny state - because the school will handle discipline internally, will it? No. The kids will be isolated within the school and then over a period of hours questioned by school security. After the interrogation is complete, the school's security or admin will hand the confession and their statements to the police for prosecution and strip those children of their Constitutional and human rights.

The situation is lose lose if it is reported. There is no up side for the OP. Hence advising the kid to risk himself or his classmates to further the prison-training role of the school is silly, wrong, and dangerous.
