[QUOTE="hexemaus2, post: 197698, member: 4560"] Personally? I'd get with the principle and arrange a meeting with the teacher, your child, and the other child all in the room at one time. I'd like to hear what everyone has to say when they're all in the same room and can't "fudge" any of the facts without being called out for it by the others who were there. I've done similar things when my difficult children' have had stories that didn't match someone elses. (Including the school.) It's surprising how similar the stories become when everyone involved is in the same room. I can understand your frustration. I've had similar situations with difficult child 1. She lies on a regular basis, but has never stolen anything. I never know whether to believe her side of a particular story or the other - even when it's something I've never known her to do. However, there's always that chance that maybe she has done something, so I'm never able to say 100% without a doubt that she did/didn't do anything...even something like stealing that she's never done before. I learned long ago never to say never with any of my kids (even my easy child.) Not that your difficult child isn't telling the truth - he may very well be. I've just learned to hear everyone's side of the story before deciding what I believe. And often that means getting everyone in the same room at the same time to get to the bottom of something. You can always present the idea to the Principle as an effort to keep everyone honest so you can get to the bottom of what is going on. [/QUOTE]
