How could she talk with your kid if your kid left class before it ended?

She never did speak with my daughter. I just got an email after school ended telling me the teachers version of the story and the resulting punishment. She still has yet to speak directly with my daughter about it.

I’d email back with “I received your email. I am still trying to understand this incident and why you consider it serious enough to warrant a detention. For now, you may assume that we intend to appeal. As such, as of now, Larla will not serve any detention.”

Your child will remember whether or not you stuck up for them long after the specifics of what happened have faded.

Oh Jesus, no. Your child broke a rule and detention is her consequence. Live and learn or don't and lather, rinse, repeat.
