Q:
I believe my 6th grade daughter was punished very severly for a misunderstanding over a poinsetta.
This is the story! I got my daughters coach a poinsetta for there Christmas party (the day before break) and told her I would bring it to the school office and to stop by after school and take it to the party. My daughter went to the office after school and looked around and saw a poinsettia, she grabbed it and took it the party. The problem is that I did not take the poinsettia to the school. So when I picked her up, I told her I was sorry for not bringing the plant and she said what I gave her the poinsettia. I said no I didn't bring it. She said I got it from the office and gave it to her. I told her not to worry about it and that I would take care of it. Things were really hectic and I didn't have time since they were only in school for 3 hours that day. Well today when she went back to school she was suspended, put on red-line and kicked of the cheer squad for stealing. I explained to the office that this was just a misunderstanding and they don't see it that way. I have a meeting with the principle in the morning, but this is just crazy. They told me they didn't care and that she took something that didn't belong to her and that was it. 2 assistant principles tag teamed her today and then I was notified of what had happened. she did not steal the plant she thought it was hers to give to her coach is it that hard to understand. They are not listening. My daughter is a straight A student, president of her class, never been in trouble and a cheerleader.
