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.

No, I don't give a **** about the other kid getting punished. I'm more pissy that my kid is missing out on soccer for two weeks over literally nothing. And yes, I am happy that my kid stuck up for himself - I would have done the exact same thing. He gets his temper from me, which we obviously need to work on.
And I was also pissy over the fact they wouldn't tell me ANYTHING over the phone. I mean, here I am thinking okay what's going on is my kid okay is he in the hospital what. And it's a stupid half-assed attempt at a fight.
