My daughter got suspended for 4 days for fighting(her written story) inside

[geonagual]

I have decided to not make a big deal of this with the school. I understand that they have a zero tolerance policy and I am good with that and I believe that is how it should be. I told my daughter that it is good that she stuck up for her friend but to be a lot smarter about things next time. ie..nothing on school grounds and using her brain rather than being physical. I told her that if her friend is going around starting shit and getting her involved that maybe it is time to find another friend.

She thinks she is having a party. I come home from work today and my daughter and her 2 friends got the stereo blasting and just having a good ole time. I sent her friends home, had her do the dishes, clean the kitchen, clean her room. Then after school was out, I took her up to the school to get all the schoolwork that she is missing out this week. I did let her know that she is not in trouble, but these days off are no party. I have a list of stuff she will be doing tommorrow.

making someone sign something with any type of threat/intimidation/coersion is duress and it negates what was signed. Tell her to sign it (so she will not gain more problems) but sign it as: Jane Doe signature acknowledging reciept only.
OR:
Jane Doe under duress

If they buck explain to them many stats have laws prohibiting someone questioning a person under 16 w/o a parent you support your daughter and any further communication regarding the document should be made directly to your attorney.
your daughter did the right thing trying to seperate them now what is the school trying to teach her about doing the right thing.
