[QUOTE="svengandhi, post: 488497, member: 3493"] Thanks. I found out a little more. My son said that immediately after it happened, he apologized to the kid he'd hit and he said "F you, you retard!" The boy who hit him is a kid my son likes - he said he is "awesome" and thinks he just might have been trying to get his attention. While this lends a little more context, I still don't think hitting someone in the head is a good way to get their attention. However, if there was no intent to hurt my son, I am willing to settle for a meeting with the GC and a discussion on appropriate ways to get someone's attention. I'm not interested in seeing any kid suspended for what seems like it might just be typical kid behavior. BUT if my son is suspended, the hitter should be, too. I also don't think that being hit accidentally justifies uses the word "retard" to ANYBODY! I think this zero tolerance has gone too far. Schools use it to avoid having to make decisions and weigh consequences. [/QUOTE]
