Hi All!
If you have read my blog in "Freaking Grrrr!!!" you will know what I'm rambling on about now. If you haven't read it yet, this might make more sense to you if you read that one first.
~Tomorrow~ I'm thinking about the hearing tomorrow, and trying to decide how I will handle the situation. In my past experiences dealing with school officials, I have found that they have made up their minds long before I walk through the door, and talking to them is like talking to a brick wall. Andrew has never been in trouble before, so I don't know what to expect with this meeting. BTW, the kid who attacked Andrew got 7 days out of school/tech. I'm not sure when his hearing is. He might get more.
Anyway, I want to defend Andrew in what happened. He has been putting up with crap from this kid for the past 2 months. I want to know what the school is going to do to stop this kid from not only harrassing Andrew, but other people in the school too. Obviously Andrew's instructor has way too much on his plate to be able to keep an eye on all of his students. Andrew is still upset about this whole mess, and gets a bit perturbed when his classmates pat him on the back and say, "it's about time someone kicked DSes ass!" Now if Andrew was the type to go jumping other kids, do you think he would have this attitude? NO! He would be strutting around like a proud peacock. There is no strut in Andrew's step. He's disgusted by the whole thing.
So, what do you think I should do about handling the hearing? Any suggestions are welcome!
As always, I love you guys!
Laurie
