Fair enough.. But I guess it really depends on the context.
using your situation (sort of), bringing a weapon to school serves no point, except to inflict pain on others, unless of course there is a hunting course, target practise course, etc. Whether it was a complete accident, or intended, How are teachers to know? Especially in this day & age.
Now I know your son only brought a bullet by accident. To me, not a big deal, and shouldn't of been, if the teachers were willing to have a sitdown with kid/parent, and a quick search of the kids belonging to ensure no corresponding gun is there. Although looking to call child services/etc, seems to me there's more to the story. But it doesn't matter.
And yes, in this day & age, students practice "lockdowns" more than fire drills. IMHO, the teacher has every right to concerned if a tool (not required in school) is brought to school.
