[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Re: the pocket knife, somehow a swiss army knife found its way into my 5th grader's backpack.

Retroactively, I have the sinking feeling I may even have put it there absentmindedly myself, so it wouldn't get lost, and it could be useful since it had the spoon, fork, scissors etc. Not 100% sure about this, though.

Anyway, he apparently discovered it on the bus ride home, took it out, and he and 2 friends were looking at all the gadgets on it. Another kid on the bus went up to the bus driver and said that boys in the back had a knife.

The next day he was perp-walked in front of all the other kids to have his locker emptied. They found nothing, but he was humiliated. He was suspended from public school for 3 days, I had to go in on the 4th day and meet the current principal, a new guy that was kind of controversial. For example, on Halloween all the teachers chose to dress up as him.

So I go in and this guy proceeds to tell me that my child shows signs of neglect (????) and that his only friend is this one kid he made friends with in his class, let's call him Jerry.

I lol because we've known Jerry and his family since the kids were babies, and "Jerry" was not his only friend. We had sleepovers nearly every weekend. WTF is this principal on.

The "neglect" thing came from what I warned my son about, that if he didn't take regular showers and agree to haircuts that he was going to look like crap.

Anyway, that was the extent of it, but I'll never forget how everyone flipped their shit over the whole situation.

BTW after that he started taking daily showers, we cut the hair, he stopped being married to the old sneakers he wouldn't throw out, and became a handsome devil as a teenager.

The WTF principal was fired the following year, no one liked him. [/quote]

What kind of parents put a knife in their kid’s backpack and forget about it? You blame the school for taking it seriously??? If your kid sits next to a kid holding a knife on the school bus what would you do? Your kid does not know that one should not play with a knife on the school bus? WTF???[/quote]
