LOL, that actually sounds like something I might do!!!
I think the key to not losing my mind with all this crazy stuff is being fair both ways. If my children are wrong they know I will come down hard on them and the officials know I won't back them up if they are being childish & unfair. I think my children learned to get along at school without too much craziness just because they knew I would come down on them if they were in the wrong.
My youngest does not like school and it has been a trial to get her to keep up. One day when she was in 2nd grade she decided to just refuse to do her assigned work. Her teacher called me and I asked to talk to my daughter. I told her to apologize to the teacher for being disrespectful and disrupting the class. I also told her to get right to work or I would come to the school and paddle her. We also had another "discussion" about the problem that afternoon when she got home. She is in high school now and I have never had another call from a teacher about a problem with her.
There are some truly great teachers and even a few ok admin. types- but some are really a$$e$ who abuse their authority. Of course some parents are really over the top too. Just like everything else, a few make it hard for everyone.
That's great. There are a lot of parents who will never admit their child is capable of wrong.
Well, mine didn't come with instructions. I had to figure stuff out as I went along :')
