This morning, Parker came and gave me a pencil. I knew that it was to sign something, like home work. I asked where the paper was that I was supposed to sign. He gave me a worried look and handed me a little pink paper. On the top it read STOP AND GO- signed by the duty guard. It said he was caught throwing a snowball. I signed the paper so he could take it back to school and asked if he was going to do that again. He said, "No way!". He then said, "don't tell Dad". I guess he thinks Dad will get upset.
We have never gotten a pink slip before, and hopefully we won't ever get one again. Child number five is trying his boundaries at school or maybe just forgot the rules. I kind of think that it is silly to send a note home, couldn't the duty guard just have him sit in time out for a while and talk to him about it?
I was impressed that Parker actually gave me the note, I know a child that would have just kept it in his back pack.
