I send the student out of class and place a referral on the online referral and then the admin. tells me that don't you know the student has home problems and let's just let it slide because the student didn't know better. However, in the meantime other students think she was allowed to get away with it so why can't I.
Thanks for the answer.
I was afraid of that. And I don't need to tell you, it totally promotes more of the same from the culprit and others.
