Hi this is my 1st time asking anything here an i`m a little nervous,so i`m very sorry if i go on abit! My son is in 2nd year in secondary school an on monday there was a fight with 2 boys from his year(1 boy is a friend of my son`s),but its my son that was threathened with been suspened. When i asked the principel why,he told me that my son had told his friend that the other boy called him a name(i don`t know if i`m allowed say here)and that this is what started the fight,so therefore its my son`s fault that the fight happened. My argument is this,how can my son be suspended for telling his FRIEND someone called him a name,i put this to the principel and he was`nt quiet sure how to answer me. My son is very upset over this and i can see how. The boy that called my son`s friend a name has admitted calling him this and also said he`s not sorry for it. To me it feels like the principel is looking for someone to blame and that happens to be my son,my son is very quiet and placid and i get comments from his teachers like `he`s a pleasure to teach`,he`s a lovely young chap`,`he`s very polite and hard working`. My 2nd worry is there is a drug problem in the school,drugs are been sold during school and after school on the grounds. I said to the principel that i can`t believe my son might get suspended for something so small and yet there is nothing been done about the drug problem,he jumped to his feet and said `i don`t have to listen to this,both of ye out now(my son was with me),if you are not happy with the school move him elsewhere`and he stormed off leaving us standing there. I am in total shock that he did this,it was not like i was been aggressive or shouting at him i`m not like that(i suffer from anxiety and panick attacks so it was quiet hard for me to even go there). now i don`t know what to do but i would like to complain him but to who? I`m saying since last year that i`d like to move my son to another school but i`m a single parent and i can`t afford it. I`d really like to hear what other people think about this.
