Lately, I think Scout is trying to beat Micah’s record in obtaining white slips.
I wish I had a picture of each one…but this particular one might be the most picture-worthy white slip of all time!
“Scout told a student that people that play video games get fat”!
When he brought this home, I read it in disbelief, and actually told Scout that he is right…and that white slips shouldn’t be handed out to truthful statements.
His punishments:
“conference with student”
“walking laps”
“time in office”
When Tristen saw this, she put this on her Instagram account, and you should have seen the cheering squad that Scout had! Every single person thought the white slip was absurd, that he was correct, and that “walking laps” as a punishment was hilarious!
I never go into the office to defend my child — NEVER! But this time, I thought I needed to say something. Not because I cared about the white slip, as much as Scout missing math — then didn’t receive the math homework, then got in trouble for not having his homework — It was all a lame trickle effect from a lame white slip. That being said, I went in to talk to Mr. Hauser about it. I told him that I thought it was ridiculous, and a waste of everyone’s time. He assured me that Scout wasn’t calling the boy fat (which he isn’t — he is totally thin), and let me know that the other boy is so problematic, that everything that he is involved in, goes straight to the principal’s office.
I told Mr. Hauser that I understood his position, but that my boy isn’t to get caught up in the crossfire of another kid’s problems. He agreed, and all was well.
(Please note: I didn’t have this disdain in front of Scout, because I think it’s important for him to respect the teachers and principal for their decisions. In fact, I told Scout that I’m done with white slips.)
It wasn’t 24 hours later that I was helping Scout clean out his backpack, when I found another….WHITE SLIP!!! I was going to flip. But good thing it was dated back in November, and Scout just has a hard time cleaning out his backpack very often. I asked about “hittin Alex in the morning”, and he told me that they are “like best friends”, so I figure it somehow got resolved.
Moving on…
