I mean, sure you can sit down with the kid and talk about the story or whatever, but suspension seems totally out of bounds.
This school thinks that they are the shizzit. They think they are the best in the county and bullshit bullshit bullshit. I guess that they pretty much rule the kid's lives outside of school too, as much as inside of school. I'd like to know why they think that punishing a good student who has had no other issues, good grades, who is talented and happy over something that wasn't said on school grounds, or overheard by a staff member for that matter is okay. It wasn't in writing either, it was a fucking joke at a friend's house. She even apologized to the teacher over and over...and I'm sure humiliated at the same time. She apologized to the principle too. Why take this further?
