My son was suspended because one of his friends and him were going back and forth with "Yo Mama" jokes" and one of the four little bastards seems to have taken offense to it. That's what they told the Principal anyway.
I was on the phone again with the Superintendant this AM. I told him that the Principal called my wife a liar and then pointed out the exact reason to him that there was no way my wife was lying and that his Principal was instead covering her ass. I also told him that the principal hanging up on me wasn't the way I would expect a professional to treat the parent of a student.
I also told him that there was no way that I was going to sit back and let our schools become a reflection of what's going on in society..... the victims being punished while the perpetrators get a slap on the wrist.
I also told him that under no circumstance is my son to be taken into an office and be talked to about anything except school work unless my wife and/or I are there. I told him if this happened there would be action taken against the school.
I told him I would only deal with him directly in the future because the Principal was a liar and couldn't be trusted.
He in fact doled out the discipline to all the kids.... and the Principal tried to convince him not to discipline the (4) perpetrators because she felt "talking to them had changed behaviors". WTF is that?
You can follow my updates on this thing on FaceBook if you want. I'm friends with a bunch of SBGs so I should be easy to find. Or PM me and I'll give you my name.
May 16th is the next School Board meeting and they are going to get their ears filleda bout the amazing bullying policy in the schools. I currently have a couple dozen people lined up to attend with me and I'm hoping that number is going to grow exponentially.
My wife has an "in" with the Gettyburg newspaper so we're going to try and get them there to cover the meeting.
