I was on my way back from getting cortizone injections in my joints when I got a call from the vice principal. I wasnt able to drive my daughter Ella to school today- or rather let her drive because she has her permit so she had to take the bus. Apparently she and some other kids entered the school through secondary unlocked doors and let other kids in. Its very cold. When I take her you drop off in front of the main doors. The resource officer/cop caught them and referred them with write ups to the Vice principal. The VP talked to my daughter and the other kids involved and stressed the importance of using the one entrance due to the spate of school violence. I get it, school shootings are everywhere and they do not want strangers walking into the building. She recently had a lockdown. The VP told me she had a talk with her and gave her detention . Normally this happens during study hall but her schedule is so jammed its after school on Thurs, I can either pick her up or she can take the late bus. She is a rule follower and always has been. This is going to devastate her. It does not go on her permanent record but couldnt they have a talk with the kids being there is no behavior problems? Does it really warrant detention? She has always followed the rules and I suspect she went along with the other kids although I will have to talk to her tonight. I mean a firm talking to and warning would seem to me to be enough. Am I overreacting? I was very nice on the phone with the VP and said I would talk to her about it but it seems over the top. What do you all think?
