I love him, but I am going to kill him...

No--not a new boy, or even an old boy.

My principal. He was my assistant principal 2 years ago, and I loved him then. He has not let me down as my principal.

HOWEVER...

I have a student who is bipolar and has OCD. He hates school and doesn't want to be here. He is also prone to violent fits. His momma called me last week and was very concerned. He and I have talked and he feels that a few teachers are singling him out. They aren't, but that is his perception.

He stayed home today because he thinks he is being bullied. His mom called the principal. The principal said the student needs to tell a teacher or him about it. After talking to the teachers, all of whom assured him the student wasn't being bullied, he told the parent the kid just wants to stay home and keeps making up something new everyday.

I do think this is true, but I know how Principal can be, so I am sure it sounded offensive.

He then hands me a note after saying he told her this, and says, "You need to call her."

Great.
