re: What are the normal expectations for a 1st grader

If it’s Bonnie Cox, good luck with that! She was the asst principal when my son was at Live Oak Elementary. In 2nd grade she called me to let me know that my son had been in a fight. She said the teacher told her that another boy walked up the back of the aisle and punched my son in the back of his head & that he got out of his desk and started punching the other boy. I said, “Good! I hope he beat his arse!” She gasped & said she was callling to let me know he was about the get 3 licks. Needless to say I really blew her mind bc I told her I was so proud of my son for doing exactly as he was taught. Never hit first but if someone hits you fight back to win by fighting hard & don’t hold back. She got snooty & began preaching to me about the right thing to do & telling an adult. I told her it happened in front of an adult & that I bet that boy won’t ever think about touching my son again. I also made her let me speak to my son. I could hear the fear in his voice so i told him I was so proud of him, that he did the right thing & Mrs Cox has no clue about how real life works bc she doesn’t believe in self defense. I told him don’t be afraid, just take the licks bc it will be over fast and he taught that other boy a lifetime lesson. Before we hung up I told him that when she gets the paddle he needs to be thinking of where he wanted to go eat tonight as a treat.

The next 3yrs with that woman made my nerves crawl. She always stood so stiff wanting to look down at me and I would give her my hard “you bitch!” stare right back. Ugh... makes me so damn mad just reliving that.

Your lack of paragraphs and this story don't indicate you're from Livingston Parish at all.

You bragged to the Principal that you were proud of your son for hitting a student who had hit him? Jesus your penis must be tiny.

I’m female. Hell yes I was proud that he came back pummeling that little punk. You must be gay.

ETA.... And for the record, that is not bragging to the principal. I let her know that while they may teach kids not to fight back, we on the other hand teach our kids to not just fight back but fight back hard so they’ll remember not to ever touch you again.

To not use paragraphs? That doesn't seem very prudent.

No, to be a sarcastic a-hole.

If I type a word incorrectly, the correct spelling pops up above my keyboard. My phone has 99.99% of the words I use stored in it, all with the correct spelling. If I start typing, "rigilrusl", rigorously pops up.

What you typed doesn't even come close to looking correct. Maybe your top-5 high-school needs to re-evaluate their program.

Ah so you're one of "those" females eh? And what a stupid comment "you must be gay" you dumb sloot

I'm not picking sides here because parents are going to raise their kids the way they feel best. However, you are complaining about her wanting her son to fight back instead of just taking it...

And when she called you gay... did you take it like a member of the school said should happen, or did you fight back by calling her a dumb sloot?

You see this double standard here? Yes, they are just kids. Kids, hopefully, grow up to be adults. By doing exactly what she said he son should do, does that mean you actually agree? When attacked with words, fighting back with words is the same thing as when punched you punch back. One is more physically, but one can be way more scarring.

The point I'm trying to make, maybe she shouldn't of spoken poorly to the principal. Instead, maybe she should of went up there to talk to them as a reasonable adult and to your son. You have ever right as a parent to say don't lay a hand on my son. I'll be there in a few minutes to address this with him instead. However, your way of insulting her right back made her point about fighting back.
