Reply #76: He had a little trouble several years ago (grade school) [View All]

When his dad got remarried, but since then has been a great kid. Teacher didn't want him expelled, Vice Principal didn't want him expelled, School Counselor didn't want him expelled. But they had to follow the zero tolerance rule. So yes, his disruptive behavior back in grade school worked against him. Didn't matter that he had cleaned up his act for years and was doing excellently behavior wise and grade wise. Okay, actually it did, because they are letting him come back to the same school. Teacher said they usually suspend and then send them off to different school instead of letting them come back. Because that's what the law says.

He felt terrible for the first few weeks, thought everyone was seeing him as that bad kid again. He started to come out of that when he heard all the good reports in his favor during the hearing.
