[QUOTE="Andy, post: 194744, member: 5096"] I don't blame you for being frustrated. Those are certainly things the school should be able to deal with without pulling you in. (except to pay for damages.) Do you have e-mail contact with the school? I think they should be sending you written reports via the e-mail. When they call you on the phone, they put you on the spot to solve the problem then and there. Even if they called, "just to let you know", you feel that they are asking what YOU are going to do about it. If they put it in writing, you have more time to ponder and ask questions to gather info and give your input if you choose. In other words, e-mails give our momma bear feelings a chance to calm down before reacting. Always put it back on them, "Thank you for letting me know. I do realize this is a school matter for your staff to handle. Please let me know what his consequences are for this action and continue to keep me informed as to his behavior. Thank you!" These events should be FYI situations only. They do not need to interupt you with a phone call. E-mails are the way - then you have their viewpoint in writing - no one to say, "I didn't say that!"
