[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I was deeply saddened that this had to come from the principle.  I have no idea what the incident was.  But my reaction to the email was that unless a kid brought some sort of real weapon, kindergartners should not be receiving this kind of attention and, moreover, the message we entirely useless; a bunch of political nothingspeak.   I took from the message that a parent raised hell about some bad — possibly physical — behavior by a 5 year old, which while a matter for discipline should not involve the entire community needing to “feel safe” from a rabid five year old.  The fact that the leader of our school is addressing the entire community over this shocked and disappointed me.  Shouldn’t we be spending time on much different things?  Like kids who cannot read (and yes they exist at Taylor) or can’t do math or aren’t showing up at school or challenging our gifted kids?  What a freaking waste of time and energy and a sad commentary on the politics of being a N Arlington principle with a bunch of snowflake parents. [/quote]

After what happened in 5th grade last year, the principal has either decided (or been instructed) to be extremely transparent about discipline issues.[/quote]

What happened in 5th grade?[/quote]

I'm guessing pp is referring to the Oakridge trip to the outdoor classroom
