[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]There are 25 kids in a class-one they should not result in everyone getting punished. And 8th graders are emotional, irrational and dramatic, so of course they are freaking out.[/quote]

THANK YOU FOR THAT ASTUTE OBSERVATION.  IT IS THE ABSOLUTE TRUTH.

and some of their parents, who care possibly even more deeply about their children's grades than their children, especially those who are not native English speakers, did not get the message from the HOS stupid email that their kids grades would not be affected because it was filled with mumbo jumbo about "messaging their children" and concluded with the inscrutable and inappropriate (given what had happened, given what the email was about) "Have a great week!"

Yes 8th graders are exactly as you describe.  That is why he should have popped his head in bright and early Monday morning, made the Dean apologise as a demonstration of his power as HOS, and then explained that at Basis, this is not the way we do things............  Simple enough, and would have calmed emotional irrational kids right down.  Why didn't he do this?  I have no clue,  and am deeply disappointed.... and embarrassed for Basis, where I have two children, and thought things had settled down quite nicely after the chaos of our first year........[/quote]
