Today, I got a call from my daughter's pre-school. Apparently, she is being suspended, for answering; "What do your parents do at home?" She told them, "My parents fuck." FML

Grow up
Today, a student's mother sent me an e-mail complaining that I was requiring her child to read a book containing mild profanity. She then demanded me to let him read an easier book. This would've been somewhat acceptable if the student wasn't in the 12th grade. FML

Evil will always win
Today, I was suspended from school for “being involved in a fight.” The other girl beat me up while I didn't do anything to defend myself, for fear of getting in trouble. She got off scot free. FML

Unfair
Today, I was bitched out by my 17 year-old son's teacher. It seems the idiot teacher made the kids advocate for his own political beliefs in a presentation, and my son ended his speech saying, "And it remains my opinion that our instructor is cramping my motherfucking style." Instant suspension. FML

I can fix him
Today, my daughter must be punishing me for something. She's dating a boy who dropped out of high school to “escape the system” and yet loves collecting unemployment benefits, and refuses to read books because he hates not knowing what the characters really look like. FML

Blame bad TV plots
Today, I learned that my 11 year-old daughter wrote a love letter to her teacher. Cute, right? It was an incredibly graphic letter where she asked him to "abduct her and chain her up in his basement." I now must find her a new school and a therapist. FML

I'm hoping you didn't know that was her book choice?

Would you prefer that she get paddled or spanked by the principal? That would be a 51st shade of grey.

Im thinking this might be a religious parochial school, hence the suspension. When I was in a Catholic school (Pre-K till about 4th grade), I had been suspended for refusing to say the Pledge of allegiance. They will do all sorts of stuff to people that don’t conform to doctrine. A book report at a religious school would definitely get suspended for a book report on this. Only other thing I could think is if the 12 year old got belligerent after being informed it was an unacceptable book to be doing a report on. Lastly, I’m sure if she used certain types of langauge in the report, that might cause it too (like age inappropriate terms or fowl langauge with no reason like references)

Did they give the child a list of appropriate books to use? If not then the child shouldn’t have been suspended/expelled. Do I agree a twelve year old should be reading 50 Shades? No, but the child completed the assignment and shouldn’t be punished.

At least she only got suspended. In my times she’d get bend over the principal’s knees and get a good bare hand spanking!.

I'm a Fifty Shades fan (so sue me), but yeah, a 12-year-old shouldn't be reading it. My question is, how did no one, you or the teacher, know she was reading it and doing a report on it? And a bigger question is, why is she being suspended over it? That seems a little harsh. She was told to read a book and do a report on it. She did that. I'd say she'd have to do it over with a more appropriate book, but suspending her seems way too strict.
