[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]For four more months?  What happened to sitting down and apologizing in a mediated, guided and resolution minded way?  [b]You do know that is an extremely common occurrence in schools--as opposed to NEVER interacting with the person who may have caused conflict again?  [/b]

These children's previous 8 years in the school should count to a conditional 4 months to graduation if this is an anomaly. If the child whose account was used cannot be around these kids post resolution (and you are totally assuming/speaking for them) then there are independent study or alternative schedule possibilities.

The more I think about this, the more I think the admin 'ran scared' and as a WL parent I am pretty disappointed and upset today.[/quote]

I work in a school, and no - things like this are not extremely common. Things that are pretty common - petty arguments, teenage squabbling, recess/sports disagreements getting heated. Things that are not common - kids getting loudly called out based on their religion, race, sexuality, etc.  When those latter things happen it is usually shocking for everyone involved, and if kids are lucky, they are at a school that takes the traumatizing experience seriously and steps in to make them feel safe again. It sucks that the kids are being expelled with four months left, but you're treating them like they have the mind of a kindergartener, not a senior in high school.
