[QUOTE="Shari, post: 443536, member: 1848"] JJJ, my hangup with the principal is bias based on experience, and I realize that. I also realize its probably not realistic or fair, so I will keep it in check. My experience is limited, but so far, the only principal we've had that was open to methods other than just punishment and throwing Wee out was the first year principal he had in second grade. The man had no idea what to do with Wee, but he really, really tried to get on board with us. And that was better than the other 3 who had experience under their belt and had never encountered a child that their "iron fist" didn't fix. Ironically, that principal quit after that year and went back to the classroom for much the same reason your uncle went through jobs. He wanted to help kids, and he said that's not something he could do in that position. I hope the new principal is exactly your uncle's clone. With Pretty Boy on the board...well..."ethics" won't be their concern. Or the law. This is the man who, when I said we needed to be proactive with Wee and stop things before they happen, said "I am. I told him he can't go to school here if he does this again." [I]REALLY? THAT'S your idea of proactive???? [/I]And now he's on the school board. WOOHOO! [/QUOTE]
