Mrs. Bowers probably put me on speed dial after this year with my kids

It was the kids' (Edward's and Sydney's) assistant principal.  I answered the phone thinking I knew what I was getting into, "Oh, no. Did Sydney faint at school?"  I had called the school early that morning to let them know about Sydney's mono and ask that she be allowed to go to the clinic to rest if she needed.  No, no.  Mrs. Bowers was calling me about my son, Edward.  The SRO (Safety Resource Officer...aka...the Po Po) brought  Edward into her office.  He had caught him before school in an alley off campus...smoking...a cigarette at that point.  But, upon further conversation and a search he found a pipe and concluded, rightly so, that he was higher than a kite and had been smoking pot prior to his cigarette.  I wanted to vomit.  I teach so I am sitting at my desk at my school with no sub in sight to take my classes.  I call my husband who remains amazingly calm when the going gets really tough.  He went to bring Edward home...suspended for 3 days and bawling at this point.
