[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Lol at permanent record. I mean, I am sorry because I am sure that was traumatizing to be called into the office. But LOLOLOL at “permanent record.”[/quote]

Op here. I mean she’s 8 years old and was alone, and also, we had ALREADY told them she never had two tablets, and it all ended up being the school’s fault.

I should also mention that she has a developmental disability and is on an IEP and we are not native English speakers.[/quote]

Frame it as a learning experience to her.  A valuable one at that.  That:

1) People make mistakes, even adults

2) People say things they later regret

3) We should forgive

4) Forgiveness means we give 2nd chance, but not same as forgetting

5) Some people do steal, so she should watch her electronics[/quote]

6) Picking and choosing our battles.  What is to be won by fighting?  If the apologized, they apologized.  It's done[/quote]

I agree. But still show her a lot of empathy, because that sounds like it was scary to her.[/quote]
