[QUOTE="slsh, post: 427333, member: 8"] Maybe I'm missing something here, but I'm stunned at the lack of immediate response by school staff to an assault that took place on school grounds (so much for zero tolerance), that your *son* had to call you to inform you of this incident, to say nothing of sped teacher's advice (are you *kidding* me??), and I'm a bit stumped at at the consensus not to call police. This is a teenager who choked your son to the point of unconsciousness. I don't care what the precipitating factor was. My goodness - this just sends chills down my spine. There could have very easily been a much worse outcome. It's one thing to understand gfgish behavior - it's quite another to give a kid a pass on an assault this serious. Call the police? You bet, in a heartbeat. Emergency mtg with- school to discuss their complete failure to keep your son safe, to appropriately supervise kids at a school function, and for review of school policy on zero tolerance? Yep. There's no way I would send my kid to a school where the best the staff can come up with- is to "avoid" the violent perpetrator. And if I didn't get satisfaction like today, I'd take this to superintendent and then on to state level. This is inexcusable. Absolutely inexcusable. Your son could have suffered permanent injury or worse. [/QUOTE]
