Made that same mistake once my oldest was 10 at the time and got a call from the principle that she had been in a fight and when she got home I told her you know when you get introuble at school you get it at home too. After giving her a swat. She explain to me that she was just defending herself that she was rebounding a basketball and her elbow hit a boy in the nose and he started throwing punches at her and she hit him right on the end of the nose and he teared up and stopped but the teacher was standing there. the principle agve both of them the same punishment. I called him back the next day and asked him why and he said we dont condone fighting. I told him that she was just defending herself and I didnt think that they should have got the same punishment. he disagreed with me and I ask him so if I come up there to the school and start kickin his but, he wasnt going to try and defend himself and if he did we would both go to jail and get the same punishment. and he said that was different and i told him is was not and mabey we need to try it out and he decided that i was right and when she came home from school that day she said dad I didnt have to sit on the curb during recess and the other boy has to sit all the rest of the week. and i just smiled and said he got the point and that i was sorry for not getting the whole truth before giving you a swat yesturday. so that made me get the whole truth before jumping to judgement from then on.
