So, last week my 8th grade daughter was sitting in a class reading a book. A boy walks by, gets her attention, and says, "Hey, nice hooters."
She slugged him HARD in the stomach and told him to get lost. His friends made fun of him for being such a wienie, and she traded high fives with her friends.
She came home and told softballmom and dad. I didn't feel a need to talk to the principal. Somehow, this seems more of an effective punishment than going to the office and being suspended.
Probably a better lesson for the boy as well.
Good thing you DIDN'T go to the office! SHE would be suspended for bullying, violence, and anything else they could tack on. Self defense is anathema to the Left, even more than PC 'issues'.
