Rosie went back to school yesterday. I was anxious and kept the phone near me all day until she got home. The girl also came back from her 5 day suspension. I was really worried between 1 to 2pm. She is in Rosie's 7th period and her assigned seat is right behind her.
My girl came home all smiles and had a great day. She said as soon as she walked into the school she was almost tackled with hugs from her friends. She is not that far behind in classes as most of the stuff was posted online. I did not make her attempt to do school work until Friday. With the tooth hurting and the lack of sleep she could not concentrate. She got up Friday morning rested and took it upon herself to log into canvas. By noon she had everything that had been posted for that week completed, turned in and most of it already graded. AP Language and AP Pre-cal, nothing was put online but the teachers worked with her one on one to catch her up. She used her hour in gym to do the "paper work" needed for those classes. During break she stopped to talk to and tease her favorite teacher from the past 2 years, Mr. Hunt. He was her physics and forensics teacher. He was horrified to learn she was the one who had been hit with the Stanley and gave her a huge hug. He then showed her one of his front teeth that had been knocked out on the job. She said when 7th period rolled around when she came into the class the girl was already in the room at her seat. She walked to her seat and sat down ignoring her. The girl got up and left the class before the bell rang and did not return. The high school kids get on the bus first and then head to the grade school in the afternoon. Rosie said her bus driver called her up to the front and he and the kids had a chat on the way to the grade school. Her bus driver shared that when he was a teenager he was playing baseball and got hit in the face with a ball that knocked 4 of his teeth out and she was part of a special "club". Then they got to talking about horses as he had noticed our sawdust pile and figured she had horses. He has 3. I asked her if she saw the principal and she said he was nowhere to be seen and she was fine with it.
As mad as I am about the situation and disgusted by the principals actions in the end it is the best place for her. Caring and compassionate teachers who challenge her and push her in ways I cannot. Classes offered that some of the others don't. She also has a core group of supportive friends who have her back which is also important in the high school setting. She thrives at that school. The girl has been charged, and myself and the boys parents have spoken to a lawyer. Now we just wait on the court system to do their job. The lawyer does agree that she needs to be placed in either juvenile detention or be transferred to North Point, our districts high school for "troubled" high school children.
