So I get there, and apparently another boy on my kid's soccer team (it's through the school) backed him into a corner, and was harassing him. Apparently my kid takes a swing, breaks the other kid's nose. Okay my kid gets sent home for the rest of the day (school is over next week) but suspended from sports for TWO WEEKS until June 2nd. MEANWHILE the other boy is sent back to class free & clear. I realize the two have had issues in the past (resulting in a black eye to MY kid) and from hearing what happened, it was clear to me that it was anything but a "friendly" chat, like the VP would have me to believe. He told me that because my kid swung first, that he was at fault and that they have a "zero tolerance policy" on violence in school, and that he had no choice. I told him that was a load of horse s*** and he knew it. Long story short after a p*** fight back and forth I told him that he and his policy could kiss my white a$$ (no action taken to the other boy). So yeah, I'm ticked. Thoughts?

Right so, I get that you want the other kid punished as well as your child and fair is fair blah blah blah, however, life isn't fair and 9 times outta ten in that same situation outside the school yard, someone gets arrested and someone goes to the hospital. And I don't care what anyone says in the case of fights it takes two to tango so unless both people are hauled off to jail you have this school yard situation replicated over and over in big people life. You're a cop, explain it in those terms. Somebody always pays for what goes down. Better your kid learn it now when an suspension means literally nothing, vs having a record that needs to ex-sponged or sealed. I get that your mad, but it's not that serious. Be happy your son isn't a pussy and don't take no **** off of others, that's a great personality trait. Just teach him to hone it and control his anger.
