Yesterday around 10:30 I got a call from the Principal at Tanner's school. He hated to call me at work (Uh huh) but Tanner had gotten into a fight with a boy and was being suspened for 2 days. I hate kids being suspended I don't think they really learn anything from that nor does it deter them from getting into trouble again. Don't get me wrong I know they have to do something but I could think of a lot more things that the kids would hate more, for instant scrubbing toilets, lockers but I also know that there are probably to many kids to make stay after to do those kinds of things. I called Bill to go get him since he is a lot closer to the school. I also think that they should have something in place so that when the kids have to leave that they have some kind of work to do. otherwise all they do is get behind. I asked them to have some of his homework ready and all they told me was it takes two days to get that together, well by then he will be back in school. So today I had him clean the bathroom and his bedroom and had him read a couple of chapters of a book we are reading called 7 habits of a highly effect teen. Maybe one day some of that will sink in.
I just have to keep the faith!
