[QUOTE="Marguerite, post: 386127, member: 1991"] While his behaviour was certainly unacceptable, once sentence has been proclaimed and then served, that should be the end of it. I'm afraid you're right, he could well be more likely to be scapegoated in the future. The reason for this, if it happens, will be unresolved anger and resentment from others involved. So a round table discussion could well be a way to help others drop this and move on. It's never fair to move the goalposts in the middle of a game. That is what is happening here. Principal and other kid's teacher dad are wanting to change the rules on the run, a nd this is the very attitude which has allowed this situation to continue and reoccur. Of course it shouldn't have happened, but it will happen again to someone else's kid, even after your son has left the school and moved on, if they fail to grab advantage now. Make it clear with your requested meeting, that you want this to be part of the solution, not another problem. Your aim is to work in cooperation with the school, to bring about a broader change longer term. Good luck! And who knows? He has every chance of becoming a easy child. Certainly, the way he tried to apologist augurs well. Marg [/QUOTE]
