Hi parent and teacher types. I have another question for you.
I have a scene in my book where there's a loud and disruptive argument in the kindergarten classroom. There's no physical violence involved. No hitting, no biting, and no attacking of the teacher, just a lot of yelling and some really nasty insults that result in general chaos and some tears.
Here's the question. Would this be considered bad enough for the instigators to be suspended for a few days? If not, what's the least terrible behavior that could result in suspension? Is there such a thing as a parent-initiated suspension, where at school's recommendation, the parent keeps the kid home for a few days to cool off, even if it's not technically a suspension?
Also, I know in my high school days a student who was attacked and fought back would be punished equally with the attacker. Does this apply to small children too, or does the school take into account who started it?
Same setting: K-6 school in a fictional town in southern Virginia.
