They Think My Son Is Dangerous…Really?

I can't even.  I suddenly understand what that means.  Because, after going through our first (and, hopefully, last) discipline committee meeting....I can't even.  But, I will, because this would be a pretty pointless blog post, otherwise.  ;)The day did not go as I expected.  I expected it to be stressful.  I expected to look down at … Continue reading They Think My Son Is Dangerous…Really?
