Hired Gun, thanks for a school admin perspective! My stepson is in 6th grade, which is still elementary school here. I think part of why the bus driver didn't just turn him in is because he's usually a pretty good kid. But, his grades have been slipping, his attitude has gone downhill, and now this. It's spiralling down quickly. I think the district has a zero tolerance policy, so if the school does get involved, it's first strike you're out... I don't know - I suggested having him confess to the principal, and begging for detention for the rest of the year, that idea was shot down...
