Carrying a blade?

A 10-year-old boy's pencil sharpener fell apart, and he
kept the tiny blade that fell out so that he could continue sharpening
his pencil. A teacher at Hilton Head Island International Baccalaureate
Elementary School saw the blade and reported him to administrators; a
vice principal called the sheriff to report the "crime". The responding
deputy declared there was "no criminal intent" and refused to file
charges, noting the boy is "a very good student who has not been in any
previous trouble." But the school suspended the unnamed fourth-grader,
which was "warranted" based on the boy's "inappropriate behavior in the
classroom" for possessing the blade, insists principal Jill McAden. A
school spokesman said the school was stuck in the "precarious position"
between the district's zero tolerance weapons policy and common sense,
but later noted they did away with it in favor of a "broader, more
nuanced approach" to discipline.
