and it's not gonna be good!
difficult child has been having issues with a girl on the bus since the beginning of the year. And despite what difficult child would like us to believe - this has not been a one-sided problem.
Seems these two girls have been name calling, pushing, shoving, threatening, and throwing stuff at one another nearly every afternoon. Evidently the bus driver has issued several warnings and moved difficult child to the front of the bus.
Yesterday, when difficult child boarded the bus, she greeted this other student by addressing her as "Jumbo" - as in, "Hi Jumbo! Do you have any peanuts for the rest of us?"
This got difficult child referred to the principal's office - where she was warned that ONE more incident would get both girls expelled from the bus.
difficult child is furious! She feels that any comments related to this other girl's weight are "fair game" and not name-calling in the slightest. (I know, I know - insert eye roll here.)
So difficult child typed up a six page letter for the vice-principal in which she defends her position as "Being brave enough to stick up for herself" and complains that any and all problems are clearly the fault of this other girl....
And she demands that the other girl be removed from the bus to eliminate any further problems.
--sigh--
O I just know that phone is gonna ring today....
