MY DAUGHTER GOT SUSPENDED!?
OK,So this is what happened. On Monday,I get a phone call from Kristens principal saying Kristen got into a fight with this girl and is suspended.This is what happened.Kristen was in gym and had to do this "Jump Rope for Heart".Kristen tripped and accidently hit this girl with the jumprope.The girl got mad and took the jumprope and hit Kristen in the back with it.She has a welp about 4 inches long on her back from this.Kristen walked away and went into the locker room to get dressed.This girl follows Kristen in and says out loud,Where is that little ***** at.Again,Kristen tries to ignore her and walks away.While Kristen is turned toward her gym locker,this girl punches Kristen in the back of the head.Kristen turns around and punches the girl back and tries to walk away again.Then this girl pushes Kristen on the floor and starts hitting her.The other girls stopped the fight and they both get sent to the office.I dont beleive this was fair because Kristen tried to walk away several times.I went up to the school and told them what I thought.They said Kristen hit her back and thats why she got suspended also. So,I guess they believe she was supposed to stand there and let this girl punch her over and over again without defending herself.I dont think this is fair at all.And Im pissed. So basically,theres really nothing I can do.This is really frustrating knowing my child cant even go to school without being attacked and not defending herself without being suspended.For those who really dont know Kristen,my daughter,Shes 12 and in the 6th grade.Shes a gifted child and Im not just saying that.She makes straight A's.She got the presidental award last year for her grades.Her I-Step test,She got a 99% over the U.S.!Shes in orchestra,plays the violin.She is the type to give her favorite blanket to a homeless person on the street.And she doesnt like violence at all.Everybody that knows Kristen,knows Kristen is not a fighter. What do you think?Am I just over reacting on this?
My 17yrold daughter got suspended for punching a teacher in the face. Can I sue the school district?
The teacher said that he won’t be fileting assault charges as long as my child writes an apology letter to him and delivers it to him by next week. He’s treating my kid like some sort of criminal, which she is not. either way, I want to sue the school district for letting one of they’re teacher’s provoke my daughter into punching him.
My kindergarten daughter is getting bullied at school & here's what the principal had to say...?
Several of the little girls at the playground during recess tell my daughter that she can't play with them & when she tries to run behind them to play they turn around & tell her not to follow them. 2 of these girls were supposed to be her "best friends," so for a few days I told her to just ignore them & play with someone else & everything would be fine. Well, she hasn't had any luck, so I thought I would go up there for lunch & afterwards go to recess with her. Kids were loving it & were flocking around us, but then she started to go up the stairs to the slide & a little boy from another K class punched her in the stomach. I told one of the teachers outside supervising & they went up & talked to the boy for about 30 seconds & that was it. Also the little boy that sits beside her at her table tells her sometimes that her work "sucks." When I told the teacher this yesterday she told me that she would move the little boy. Well, when I took her to school today the same little boy was still sitting beside her. My daughter was nervous so I said to the teacher "I thought you were going to move him" & she said "He's not that kind of boy. I talked to him & he will be nice from now on. I'm not going to move him." My daughter wouldn't quit crying, so I took her into the principals office to tell her this whole story & what she had to say was "when are you going to trust us that we can take care of your daughter without you being here?" She said "when you're here she cries, but when you leave she's fine." Well, I know that's not true because yesterday she cried from when I dropped her off until I got there at 11:15 for lunch. I calmed her down & she went back in to finish the day happier. What would you do about all this? The teacher said she had a talk with the whole class about being nice & not bullying, so I guess I'll see how it goes. The principal has basically told me that I can't come up for lunch any more this week to check on her & that she will be fine. I know I need to let go, but I don't want her crying ALL day?!!
Would you be mad if your son/daughter was suspended for hitting someone in self defense?
My wife was Tae Kwan Do. I was Shorin-Ryu Karate. I learned the hard way how to deal with bullies.Our daughter will be trained in Muay Thai, for fitness, mental and physical fortitude, humility, respect. I am pretty sure we would have no issues if another kid took a roundhouse to the face for threatening her.dakota ditcheva from Quora image searchSome people may say, “Oh but Wansai, you're just being overly dramatic!”I posted this last weekend.There are parents out there who are bad parents, or well meaning parents who give their children no boundaries so they can learn themselves; without ever considering that their ill-raised child may use my child to make their mistakes on.My child is not something your child can act upon or learn their lesson upon. I don't see why my child should have to be an unwilling victim to other parent's shitty or lax parenting.The art of the 8 limbs is widely regarded as one of the most feared and devastating martial arts at the most practical level.
I'm suspended from school?
you did throw a punch, therefore you do have to deal with the aftermath if your actions, whether he attacked you first or not, you fought back. if they are calling your mom then you need to think long and hard of how your either going to get yourself out of this, or tell your mom the truth. (i'd recommend the second option). you did not start the fight, therefore you cannot be accused of that. does the area the fight occurred in have cameras, ask the school director/principal to look at the cameras and prove you innocent or bring your mom up and take her to the office and show her the video recording. chances are if you're just honest and dont stretch the truth tell nothing short of the truth, and just tell her he came up ti you and you defended yourself, you cant get grounded for that right? i doubt he just outright attacked you, were you doing something to provoke him etc? if so that'll get you in trouble. maybe work out a deal/story with the boy about what happened together, that you will both tell the school supervisor/directors/principal/etc. and stick to the SAME story! that'll keep you both from getting in trouble, hopefully. bless you good luck hope you don't get burmed too badly! :-)).
My Son was suspended from school (Details inside)?
Schools have ridiculous policies on fighting nowadays. I know that at my high school, you would get suspended for any sort of fighting even if it was purely self defense. I am 19, and not a father, but I believe you did the right thing by not punishing your son. He has every right to stand up for himself and to teach that kid a lesson, especially since the school didn't give him any disciplining. You should probably talk to the principal again, but more calmly. By now they aren't going to change their decision unless that kid admits to calling your son the N word, but it will make YOU feel better and I bet it will make your son feel better knowing that his dad is behind him 100%, which seems to be the case. Also, it would be good to make sure that his absence doesn't make him fall way behind in school, so maybe you could get his assignments from his teachers? It sucks things have to work out like that. You seem like a great guy and I think your son absolutely did the right thing. Side note: Is it just me, or is it weird that having a zippo is a MUCH more severe sentence than fighting? 2nd side note: Looking at everyone else's answers, I am amazed at how insensitive they are. Of course that kid deserved to get his *** kicked!
2yr old toddler suspended from daycare?
My 2yr old son (almost 3) was suspened from daycare for 1 day for hitting the teacher. Here is what is contributing to the problem. 1. My son does not know the difference between a spanking and hitting, he thinks it is the same thing. We have been explaing to him that they are 2 different things, but he doesn't get it quite yet. 2. At the daycare he sees a total of 6 different teachers through out 1 day. 2 morning, 2 mid day, and 2 evening. There is no consistancy for dicipline since each person has a different method. When I pick him up and am told that he hit, I ask the director what happened and how did they handle him, she tells me "I don't know you will have to talk to the morning teacher". Then when we get home I discuss proper behavior and what happened and how he needs to act for the next day. You can't tell me my son is the only person doing this. Is it fair that he is suspended for hetting at teacher? Also, if he hits another child he doesn't get suspended
Anger management for my 7 year old son? Suspended from school...?
I had the same problem with my little boy, they look so innocent when their sleeping. I used to go to his room watch him sleep, and think in the morning he will go to school, and an hour later I will get a call from the principal telling me he has done some thine else.. I tried everything, punishment, counseling, it was all dead end.. Than one day I put on his clothes and told him we were going for a walk, we walked in silence, I realized we had walked quite a distance. I decided to head home, when suddenly my son said mom can we check out that karate school. I was like yeah sure that's just where I want to take you.. But since he was so enthused, I figured why not.. He walked into the school like he belonged their, went up to the teacher and introduced himself.. The teacher had a talk with him, than approached me, and asked me if I my son could join his class. I didn't like the idea, because I thought karate teaches violence, but I gotta tell ya. That was three years ago.. He became a different boy, he learned self discipline, self respect, and he had to take a vow to never fight anyone who was not a trained fighter.. He has three championships, and endless trophies.. My point, find something that interests him outside of school. Sometimes when they get motivated about something, they change on there own..
