s. One day this group of boys started beating him. He even ended up with a broken foot. Well, he finally stood up to these bullies and he gets in trouble, along with the bullies, with the school authorities. This was my breaking point with the public school system. This was part of the public school's zero tolerance policy. There is no "grey" area!
I don't know whether to laugh or cry about this, Phoenix. My son went through a similar thing. Even the principal acknowledged that it was ridiculous, but that she had no choice but to suspend him for 2 days for fighting. (We refer to it as "the time my son got suspended for getting his nose broken.")
