Hello everyone I'm new here so bear with me.I need some advice about my son being suspended from school for telling a student he did something to another students water bottle,(said he put his penis in it) which he didn't actually do, and he also told the student whose water bottle it was, that he was just joking. I realize this "joke" is very inappropriate but a 10 day suspension? And a month ago he was suspended for 3 days because he and a few of his classmates made a joke about spitting on a girl.(They never said anything directly to the girl, it was only talked about between these boys)Again, I know it was inappropriate to joke about such things. Then while my son was in the principals office one of the boys actually did spit on the girl and my son got suspended.He was not even in the vicinity when it occured, he was with the principal. I should mention that this principal has been trying to get me to put my son in a 'special" class(which my son says he will refuse to participate in) since the end of the last school year.I have had many meetings to come up with(in thier words) a "strategy" to keep him on task and in line, and they have not followed through on one thing.I have a sneaky suspicion that the numbers are down in the "special" class and they need more students in the class to continue the funding for it. I know my son and he WILL shut down if I tranfer him to that class.It just feels like they are trying to force me to do something that I believe will hurt my son in the long run.Also, in past meetings with the principal he told me that he NEVER has a problem with my son in his class. Go figure
