[QUOTE="BadgeBunny, post: 1488631, member: 1242"] I tend to agree with you that the school needs to be notified in some way except that I would add that I found that all the administrative employees (down to the office secretary) and the vast majority of the teachers (but NOT ALL of them) were only out to minimize liability for the district and themselves. The tactic that worked the best for me was explaining to the authority figure I was talking to that 1. I had read the school policies, 2. that my children had done their best to follow the outline of the "law", 3. that I had talked to other parents and my children were not the only ones with Little Johnny or Mrs. B**** and finally 4. that I wasn't just going to go away quietly. Like I said before it wasn't easy but my kids were never punished for doing what was right. Of course, it didn't hurt that when they did the wrong thing I was the first one at the school demanding they not be let off the hook. Kids learn the wrong lessons if they are always being punished for doing the right thing and let off the hook when they "slip up" ... [/QUOTE]
