I'm not offended by anything in this thread. So stop arguing.
1. My kid was totally in the wrong on this one. He knows what he did-he's the one who told me what happened. I'm not doubting that he should have been suspended...he's in BIG HUGE TROUBLE here, and believe me, he's not happy about it.
2. Unfortunately, the principal jumped to the same conclusion you did, Belle. When DH got home this morning, he stayed up long enough to get the kids up and on the school bus before taking a sleeping pill and going to bed.
3. There WAS an alternative to him sitting in the office (or the hallway) for a while...he could have gone over to the daycare.
4. The principal's attitude started as soon as DH picked up the phone, hence the whole interrupting him and telling him to come get Dan NOW...there was no courtesy or understanding in her voice at all.
5. Dan has an appointment with his pediatrician next week. I'll be discussing ADD/ADHD, possible allergies, and anything else I can think of with her then.
6. My last post wasn't so much a complaint but an update...the only real problem I had was the principal's general grouchy attitude. But I'm not really all that upset about that. More, I'm relieved that I won't have to talk to her anymore. I'm about as sick of her as I'm sure she is of us.
And on that note... I'm off to post in my baby thread.
