[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Everything is going to be OK. A suspension will not go on her college application, and in the greater scheme of things, it's not a huge deal, but it will teach her a valuable lesson about respect.

Personally, I agree with your husband that suspension is a little harsh, but I don't think you have grounds for complaint. Schools are trying to crack down on phone use, which is a good thing, and so students will not be given the benefit of the doubt.

Move on. Everything happened as it should. Your kid is a good kid, and the punishment is what it is. No worries, OP.

Me again. My 15 year old daughter with mild ADHD has the opposite problem. She forgets her phone in the classrooms' phone pockets! Last year, one teacher even told her to keep her phone on her because she was forgetting it too often! :-)

Other posters are making this into a bigger deal than it is. No, your kid doesn't have terrible behavior issues. She's just a teen and is learning that rules apply to her as well.[/quote]

OP listed behavior problem after behavior problem, why are you saying there are no behavior issues? [/quote]

Because the behaviors are in the range of normal. You should see what the actually troubled kids get up to, PP! None of this is concerning. Consequences have been meted out. There's really nothing to discuss. The kid is 13 and will grow up to be a perfectly decent adult.
