[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I’m upset because the school has no proof my son said anything (he claims he didn’t and he’s being thrown under the bus, but of course, grain of salt) but they are treating that as a greater offense than having a close and escalating verbal altercation in the hallway that had to be broken up by an adult. (The boy is still in class as we speak. My son thinks he will try to fight him after school now but is afraid to tell anyone because they aren’t on “his side”.)[/quote]

No one is on his side. Makes me think he's badmouthed some of the other kids. And they're not putting up with it.[/quote]

Do people here actually have teens? "you suck at basketball" is garden variety trash talk the vast majority of kids hear daily, and that includes my kids who would NEVER retaliate over this. If you think it justifies physical harm you are.out.of.your.mind and part of the problem. I wonder if this is just mean ganging up behavior against op, who is concerned about her kid who yes, was a little douche, but that doesn't justify him getting hurt.[/quote]

Umm, he wasn't hurt at all.

And if the "confrontation" was "escalating" then he was an active participant in that exchange as well.[/quote]
