The school called my daughter and told her what had happened and that my grandson needed to go the the ER because the inside of his mouth was cut and bleeding and needed stitches. These were young kids. This happened at recess. My grandson needed 4 stitches to close the hole in his lip inside of his mouth. My grandson will be 9 years old this week.<br /><br />The boy who did the punching will be suspended from recess and will have to go to counseling. I believe they don't suspend them from school because that ends up being almost like a reward, where they don't have to attend school and just stay home and do what they want.<br /><br />The school told my daughter that the school will cover all medical costs incurred from the ER visit. <br /><br />I don't remember kids punching like that when I was in grade school in the early 1960's, but maybe I just don't remember it. I remember the boys wrestling around and fighting, but not punching like that. It is a very different world we are living in now. In some ways not for the better.<br /><br />susie @ persimmon moon cottagehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01653330247272673990noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3830720322970025712.post-47646953576042507692019-03-03T00:12:38.330-05:002019-03-03T00:12:38.330-05:00Do these children not get expelled?

To have parents and kids screaming that is so wrong, Here the mothers scream in Spanish and wave the Mexican flag everytime it is always the school and teachers fault never the child. I feel so upset for the children, They only know what the parents do.<br />Hope next week is better for you and the school.<br />angryparsniphttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17236094827257446781noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3830720322970025712.post-3215344876868510372019-03-02T15:30:09.097-05:002019-03-02T15:30:09.097-05:00Oh my, things have really gotten worse since my ch...Oh my, things have really gotten worse since my children went to school. There were always a fistfight every now and then, but that has been going forever. The problems that kids face today are so much more awful. Emotional and psychological problems are epidemic. <br /><br />I know you love your job, the staff and the children. I hope you have a calmer time of it next week.<br />Starting Over, Accepting Changes - Maybehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06032033918798053005noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3830720322970025712.post-33735711958396429102019-03-02T11:49:44.721-05:002019-03-02T11:49:44.721-05:00Well, I'll ask the obvious question- Was Mercu...Well, I'll ask the obvious question- Was Mercury in retrograde? <br />That always seems to be the astrological answer to crazy times. Haha! <br />That does sound like an extraordinary amount of crazy though. Seriously. <br />"That bitch took my phone?"<br />Oh Lord. <br />Hang in there, honey. Summer will get here eventually and all those kids can get their ya-ya's out at someone else's expense. <br />I really am glad that abused child is going to get help. Also, his siblings. What a brave brother he is! Quite honestly, I think that child abuse of any kind is absolutely the worst crime that a human can commit. Even murder can sometimes be rationalized or at least understood but anyone who hurts a child is simply evil.
