I got suspended

I decided that in order to get a better handle on what's going on with these kids, I would spend the day at my daughter's school. I checked-in at the office... and stood quietly in line waiting for our class to be called in. When I got to where the teacher was standing, I told her that I was spending the day. I couldn't believe the horror on her face. We went on to the classroom, but the teacher ran over to the principal and told on me. When the teacher came into the classroom, I was informed that the principal was waiting out in the hall to speak with me.

I was told that I could either sit in the hall, or go home. That there was plenty of supervision for my daughter in the classroom, and that there weren't any problems in there. I beg to differ. Perhaps I should have taken the notes to school that my daughter has been passing under all that heavy supervision. I wouldn't mind so much about the notes, but she isn't that good of a student. Anyhow, I tried to reason with the principal by explaining that one of the reasons I was there is because of the stories my daughter is always telling me about what it's like here. I told her that I don't believe that the teacher "never gives the class enough time to finish their work," for example. That all of the class never gets their work done. Rather than argue with my daughter about it, I wanted to see for myself, and then there would be no reason for argument. Apparently, the principal thinks that it's enough that I know that my daughter lies. I, on the other hand think it would be better if I didn't have to just tell her all the time that I don't believe what she's saying, because no matter how much I say that, she insists she's telling the truth.

At any rate, to make a long story short, I got the boot from school, although I am welcome to stop by at recess. Probably the one time that I don't really care to be there.
