Today, my daughter learned that three boys from her class were in the habit of sneaking out of class a little bit early at the end of the day. They asked her not to tell the teacher, and she agreed, but she did tell another student -- and the teacher heard her telling of it. As a result, the three boys are in trouble -- not major trouble, but still -- exacerbated by the fact that one of the kids is a bit of a handful anyway, so this was another rap on the knuckles for him. They're not happy. She sees them every day, at least twice a day. She's not happy.
I told her that I think she did the right thing, and that they would benefit from being caught, even if they didn't feel like it -- and this would not have happened had they not been doing something they knew was wrong. She knows all this. Still....
Tough to be a kid, sometimes.
