Yeah im sure your kids well say yeah dad school was fun and blah blah blah OH and guess what they called me susie piss pants today it was awesome!!
Okay ... just to throw something out there to consider, from someone who has VAST experience with suspended children ... make sure that any work she misses can be made up. It's happened in the past that at *their* schools suspensions = unexcused absences, any missed work you have to take a "0" for. If that's the case, maybe y'all should go talk to the Principal for a little damage control ... it'd suck for her to start off the year with a bunch of bad grades.
Sorry, the responsible parent in me had to creep out there for a minute.

SHUT UP YOU !!! Oh dont worry that was only done for dramatic effect!!Oh and I really love how your girl added the " " part; for dramatic effect only of course!!
Just curious, what if they had told the office what happened, I dont think it would have gotten out. I wonder if they would have still suspended her if the truth was told?
I don't know what kind of reaction you were trying to get from me. I posted my thoughts on your opinion and I didn't flame all over your ass like I would have with most people. I simply rationalized the situation in a way I thought you would understand because for the most part we see things in a similar way.
Suspension isn't tolerated in my house either. However I don't ground my kids often, this day and age there is media in every room of the house and being grounded just isn't the isolation it once was. Plus who really learned anything from sitting in their room staring at walls all day?
Had she actually fought with the gal I probably would have had her write a 20 page essay on something like teen violence or teen pregnancy and its reprocussions. Might have even sent her ass down to goodwill for those three days to serve food or stock food and clothing. As of right now...she's probably bored.
See ... that's what I was thinking. I don't think the school administrators are at liberty to discuss those kinds of things, but I could be wrong.
I wouldn't think so but who knows I'm sure they'd have the mentality that there is no way someone can have an outburst like that and not get in trouble. It would send the wrong message.
Then every teacher in every grade would be talking about it. People yap especially teachers with no lives and hatred for annoying youth.
how the is mono a pats fan?
No 0's and they've never been suspended before. Her sister is bringing her work home for her. She will have one makeup test on Monday. At this point to the best of my knowledge her grades aren't at risk. Probably wouldn't have much of an effect anyway she's an A and B student.Okay ... just to throw something out there to consider, from someone who has VAST experience with suspended children ... make sure that any work she misses can be made up.

Do you actually use that kind of language with your 12 year old daughter?
How many times have you told someone "don't say anything but..." You'd hope they could be adult enough but it you simply can't trust anyone. I didn't see any value in going back and hashing it out. With her having never been in trouble they may have accused us of fabricating the story to save face like mentioned on page one. I probably would have melted and it wouldn't have gone well. My wife was probably smart to pick the path of least resistance because unlike these kids and her I'm pretty ing confrontational if I believe something.
Bite me!
Only when she's being a little b...
Nah, I just can't make that joke about an awesome 12 year old.
Everyone in the family uses bad language. She grew up in a family of poor mexicans. If it wasn't her Grandpa cursing it was her uncles or aunts. They've been around that kind of long before I was ever in the picture. Its probably why neither of them ever curse. Outside of this one time about 2 years ago the older one called her sister a head. So in 5 years I've heard foul language twice and once in person.
Do you not think these kids curse around each other when you're not around?
I started cussing in first grade. I was a complete goody two-shoes until I moved to El Paso, and all the kids there cussed like it was going out of style.
Of course, my parents didn't really let me get away with it until I could drink, smoke, and drive....but they were usually pretty cool about it. Even they'd laugh if we dropped the occasional F-bomb, as long as it wasn't in anger or directed at them.
Irony perhaps.there's no reason to go in and expand the story because grown ass adults talk too. No doubt the story would have been public in no time. So everyone just decided to leave it alone.
Great idea, though!
lol aww come on that was for dramatic effect nothing more!!
ive been cussing since 3rd grade, but I still dont cuss around my parents. Im respectful like that.
I guess I still just find it strange when parents cuss around kids. Maybe it's because the strongest thing I EVER heard come out of my dads mouth was "som " and that was when he repeated a line from Smokey and the Bandit. My kids hear me cuss very rarely, and I'm not so naive as to think they don't cuss...well, I've heard my son say "what the ..." (he's 14) but I don't think I've ever heard my daughter (11) cuss.
My biggest gripe (and this isn't directed at you, by any means) is when I hear parents saying " this" and " that" around their kids, then blow a gasket the first time they hear their kid say the same thing. Kids live what they learn, for the most part.
But 1,000 kudos to your girl for doing what she did. She helped that little girl save face and probably made a friend for life. Most kids would have made fun, or gone and told all their friends after class and not done anything to help. And now she's got a rep at school...no one will mess with her
When I say grounded I mean no use of the PC, TV, Cell Phone, IPod, Friends coming over. I totally understand your point of view I was just playing devil's advocate. I'm almost always on your long winded point of view.
Coach, coach...don't make me come after you coach.
I'm a terrible potty mouth around my kids; they've heard everything. But I'm a grown up and I get to do that!I've made it clear to them that I don't approve of kids cursing and they are not allowed to. But I also know how they will talk when they with their friends, so I've told them if they get away with it whatever, but that it is disrespectful to use bad a language around any adults, so if they get caught, the consequences will not be fun!!
While I agree what your Daughter did was cool and sticking up for her friends (bottom line) is a good thing to do, she needs to ask herself if this person would do this for her.
'Cause now she has a "record" at school and next time she could get kicked out all together. I work in a school district and when they start talking about using a "weapon" in a fight, ur talking alternative school, then expulsion.
My daughter's first suspension was in kindergarten for flipping off her teacher. And no, she had no clue what it meant at the time, she'd just seen some other kids doing it at recess and thought she'd give it a go.
Her kindergarten teacher was a .
I find that mentality flawed because the answer should always be the default answer of NO. Never expect someone to rise above the below average mentality of modern society, you can typically only control what you can do and you only. Do it because you felt it was right not if you felt there would be some kind of reward or if you felt it would have been reciprocated if the roles were reversed.
The kids aren't trouble makers. I'm not concerned about expulsion and if it was an issue we'd simply use another family address and move on to the next school. As it stands right now we're moving in 5 months and the kids are going to be attending schools in a completely different city anyhow. I'm not making light of your point though. Neither of these kids have been in trouble ever...sans a few minor dress code infractions which I think is bull anyway.
Don't even get me started on dress code infractions. My daughter came home on the third day of school and said that she couldn't wear her "layered look" t-shirts anymore because it looks like your "undergarments" are showing. WTF?? It's bad enough they can only wear shirts/dresses with collars, but the layered look shirts are off limits? Give me a break. And what pisses me off is that the teachers aren't held to the same dress code standards. They can wear open toe shoes/flip flops and non-collared shirts.
Yesterday when fatsack picked her up from school, he asked her teacher where her collared shirt was.
