I had an awkward conversation with a parent yesterday. Already. I mean, we're one full week into the school year. So, Thursday I sent the naughty boy to the office for not doing the assignment during class. Sounds innocent enough but it was three days of not doing the assignment during class and assuring me the work is done yet being unable to produce said done work. He needed to make up a thirty-minute video because he got dismissed and missed it when I showed it during class. He told me he was unable to come in before school to watch it because he had morning detention. I told him that I would email the detention monitor and make arrangements for him to serve detention and watch the video at the same time. The monitor told me he didn't have any record of the boy owing detention and then called the assistant principal to double check. The assistant principal agreed the boy didn't owe time. So, he's caught in a lie.
Long story short, the mother and I talked on the phone for a good fifteen minutes and unraveled more of the boy's lies. He lied and lied and lied. To both of us. What a way to start out the school year?
Have I mentioned I hate liars? Do I need to?
