I had to go to the school to meet with the teacher because Marissa had told another child to, "Kiss my..." while slapping hers. <BR/><BR/>I had punished Marissa before going to meet the teacher and I nearly choked when I learn the other student had first called her a "Dead Loser" while making hand motions to slit his throat and then holding his fingers up in an "L." <BR/><BR/>Now, I don't necessarily approve of Marissa's response. We have worked oh so many years on teaching her to ignore some people who are just jerky... but I did wonder why in the world the boy's mother wasn't sitting across the table from me talking about her child's behavior.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2212741399857110313.post-75439350905765424682008-10-25T05:09:00.000-05:002008-10-25T05:09:00.000-05:00Oh yeah, meant to mention.
