We asked for a copy of the incident report (I already knew what it said, but unofficially).
I went into school today and was spotted by the lunch supervisor who filed the report. She came over and said she was shocked that A had been punished for the incident (in-school suspension is a "permanent record" thing) and horrified that B had not. She said she's been in to see both A&B's class teacher and the principal to say as much.
I talked to other teachers at the school (it's a small school, everyone knows everyone)
Everyone thinks A has been shafted.
principal refused to give a copy of the report because it names other children. but sent a copy of the report about A which is considered the truth and said (and i copy verbatim)

As I shared on Monday, it was difficult to tease out exactly who did what to whom in exactly what order, and the story did change over the course of the discussion with the kids. I am more than willing to imagine that what I wound up with is not exactly correct. It is something that in the end all 8 kids I interviewed agreed on.

At this point the lightbulb went on and I can hear b saying "let's all tell Principal that A did it..." and A -bless it's little heart- was just to horrified and confused about what happened to deny it -and the principal did agree that A was horrified and confused and very upset about it all.......
And yet still shafted A.
Don't you think?
