[QUOTE="judeegreeneyes, post: 530459, member: 14623"] Honestly, the lunchroom in my childs school is the ONLY place where kids can "let loose" and by that I mean, talk freely, move freely, interact with other kids. The new principal is a tyrant who has "authority issues" and cannot stand when the noise level gets too loud. I've served lunch duty as a volunteer many times and while it is loud, what would you expect from 100-200 kids in a room each period? The incident occurred when the lunch aid asked for quiet. Told the 5th grade class to quiet down. Then at that point a "clap was initiated" with many students joining in. Really a dig against their authority as I see it. So in a room full of 100+ students, my son was singled out for starting the clap. I had questioned who saw him and were they standing there unquestionably without a doubt witness to the action...........to which the principal never responded. Avoided directly answering my question, just stating that one adult had seen him do it. Then weeks later it was 2 adults and that he admitted to doing it. Now mind you, he's an 11 year old boy- the principal claimed he admitting to starting the clap and then when told his mother was being called, he denied it. I WISH I had such unwielding power over my son lol. So not the case. My son has always been honest when dealing with staff, admin. at his school and if he did something, he would admit to it. Calling me had no bearing whatsoever on his decision. I think the words got twisted and the principal was looking to set an example so when he admitted to "doing it" they attributed it to starting the clap which my son denied. Let's see- unthinkable for an adult to "trick" or coerce a boy into saying something he didn't mean? Of course not- teachers would never do such a thing right?!? My son is a red head, freckled, very outspoken and well liked child amoungst his peers- so he definately stands out for sure! The principal on the other hand- numerous lectures in the lunch room to 3rd- 4th grade students about how she was picked on in school- had long stringy hair and was missing two front teeth. She was picked on and had told the students "will not tolerate anyone being bullied" as she knows first hand how it feels. You tell me- my imagination or perhaps some envy here that my son is liked and has friends and she as child was not. Another case of absolute power being used for past "issues" as a child? [/QUOTE]
