[quote=Anonymous]Son hit another kid, not hard (per the administrator). First incident in years for a kid with documented social challenges, provoked by a week of daily bullying by the other kid (all this info was relayed to us by the administrator- not my son).  I challenged the punishment by email, and 5e administrator emailed that the punishment was required because the school “has a clear code of conduct when it comes to physical altercations”.

I did ten minutes of research (school handbook and district regulations), sent him an email saying that I saw x,y,z in the handbook and regulations about mandatory punishments for bullying (unsaid was that the bully here received no punishment) but the only resource I found on punishments for physical behaviors was x, and it shows a wide range of punishments for a physical incident, starting with a parent phone call, and could the administrator kindly direct me to the appropriate reference that required the punishment he applied.  He tersely wrote back that he had discretion, but he generously didn’t report it to the state, which was also within his discretion.

Wtf. What a dick. For a kid who has some significant challenges that are obvious when talking to him, who literally hasn’t had a behavior problem in four years and is a straight a kid.

I wanted to escalate but our therapist wisely reminded there was no upside to this battle..,. [/quote]
