I wouldn't expect to hear anything from the administration on disciplinary

the administration broadcasting it to everyone, or would you prefer they
take care of it between you, them, and your child?


I suppose it depends on the legality of it, or on whether
it endangers others. I think my kids know, though, how
fast the grapevine works in this town. There are so
few secrets.

Thanks for your responses. As I noted in an email to
one, part of my reaction is tied to general frustration
with the new administrators at DD's school. There was
a *big* staff turnover last Summer. It's not been a
smooth transition.

Don't even get me started on DS's principal.
