Kindergarten is dangerous!

Yesterday, when I went to pick Caroline up from school, her teacher came walking out holding Caroline's hand, I knew immediately that something was wrong. The teacher told me that there is a boy in Caroline's class that has a "crush" on her and is constantly pestering her and sometimes Caroline just does not want to play with him. This boy has been reprimanded by the teacher on several occasions to stop bothering Caroline and also the boy's mother has been talked to about the situation; I had no idea this was going on. Well yesterday, this boy took it a step further and when Caroline indicated to him she did not want to play with him, he took Caroline's hand and bit her on the back of her hand!! He didn't break the skin, but left a nasty bite mark and bruise! The boy was pulled out of class, his parents were called and he was suspended for the rest of the day! I had no idea they suspended kindergarten kids. Caroline had to go to the nurses office and they iced it down and she was okay, but pretty upset. When we got in the car to come home, the first thing she said about the incident was that this boy is naughty and Santa will NOT (said emphatically) be coming to his house! My constant naughty and nice conversations are paying off! She is fine today and the kid is back in school, but he wouldn't even look at me when I dropped Caroline off this morning.

Poor kid.

Having said that, if it were my kid, I'd have just been glad that it hadn't been SHE doing the biting! That's my sad reality. :)

Bless her little heart! I hope it doesn't happen again. Sounds like the school is on top of things. I teach Kindergarten and unfortunately I have had children suspended from my classroom already this year.

I love all your trees, the family tree is very pretty.
