It seems my little darling son (Grrr) has decided he doesn't like art, and would rather do his own thing.

I got a call from the school this morning telling me my son is in "in-school suspension" today. Seems he decided that skipping his homeroom class was a good idea.

The principle sounded like he was very distressed, apparently many kids have been up to this lately. I heard the relief in his voice when I thanked him for taking care of the problem swiftly.

I heard the relief in his voice when I thanked him for taking care of the problem swiftly.

I heard that same tone of voice from the Basketball Coach who called to discuss with me suspending my son from his team.

I said, "Hey Look, this is your team, I'm not gonna tell you how to run it. If you think he deserves a suspension, suspend the kid. He's gonna learn more from that than he is from me taking the Nintendo controler away from him."

He thanked me profusely. Unfortunately the other players who were involved in the same misdeeds were not suspended because their folks raised Holy Hell. It was Grossly Unfair,,,, but so is LIFE.

I'm sure the principal was relieved, any time they get help rather than a hard time from a parent they're relieved. I have seen some real nutty parents go off on the administrator unfairly when their little darling has done something wrong. I've even heard them threaten to sue.

I take it DS will not be in for a pleasant afternoon when he arrives home.
We tough moms have to stick together.
