true...due to pressure. The original "punishment" wasn't even the 2 day suspension. It was a warning that they would be in serious trouble if something like that happened again. The principal should have called the police the minute he was notified of a crime. Parents, if your children are assaulted on school grounds, call the police immediately. Don't assume the schools will handle it. I have worked for them and no offense to those who are good at what they do, but I have seen my share of dimwitted people there. mg
