My daughter is now 8. Since a couple of months back she has been having some problems at school. It started with her note books being torn to shreds. Then one of her books had all the pages glued together...terrible things to happen to a child. I guessed it must have been some naughty boys in school. I mean, these are disruptive but 'fun' things to do in the mind of some twisted minded kids. Later she had sand being put on her desk. Bad....but i decided to let the school handle these.

However, last week something else happened. After a hiatus of nearly a month. She had 'F**k You' written on one of the note book. I found out when she asked me that night, "Dad, what does 'F**k' mean?" I was shocked and after some chat, found out what happened. The next day, I was at the school and met the headmistress and she's aware of all except for the last incident...told her everything....and I demanded that I get to meet the student and his/her parents (in my mind, this was too much and the boy/s need serious lesson). On the way back from the school I started to think what will I be doing if I were to meet them thus the previous posting. I really wanted to say that, "If you ever repeat it, I'll break your arm!" even in front of the parent. I guess I am a bit of the old-school as far as child disciplining is concerned.

Anyhow, that was last week. Yesterday I went to the school and met the headmistress again. She explained to me that they had tried to call me (that explained a couple of miss calls I had on Friday). The discipline teacher had managed to find the culprit according to the headmistress. And what shocked me was when she explained that the culprit had confessed. "She confessed, after some questionings from the discipline teacher and the evidence, including her own handwriting, shown to her." I nearly feel of the chair....she??? a girl did all those things.....arghhhhh.....what has happened????

What about my plan then.....huh...
