Classroom chaos

Well, not chaos exactly, but when my son reports not one, but two exciting things in one day of school, I know that things must have been crazy! I am sure the teacher is counting the hours to the three half/off days coming up this weekend, though she has to meet with parents to get those, which may be worse.

Apparently there was a bit of a smack-down yesterday in kindergarten, where one kid, a close friend of my son's, hit another kid hard enough to give him a sizable bruise on his upper arm. The provacation? The other boy blew on him in line. The punishment was missing all of center time, according to my son, but I'm wondering if there wasn't more to that. Surely the punishment for socking a kid would be significantly worse than for touching or talking in class?

And, as if that is not exciting enough, another kid vomited! Whoa! This was towards the end of the day, and at a different table. Attention media: sickness in the schools! (h1n1 is probably another post for another time, but for now, let's just say that illness is taken pretty seriously around the school district.)

At least I got some news from his day. It was almost as good as gossip!
