I happen to be going down some odd lines of thought with this. While it was not justified that the student burn down his house, leaving his family inside, I must wonder if possibly the arson would have been less of a loss than the boy would have incurred had his parents found out above his below par grade. Depending on the parental units involved, it very well may have been a case of his life, or thiers (sadly enough) and he may have made the choice based on the human desire for self preservation and instinct to survive. Or possibly his family would not have been so very harsh upon him, but he simply feared for the worse?
So many paths of thought that could be taken... Quite a few of them dark and disturbing.
