Kids lie.
Then, who knows what will happen.
Even after that group school project together.
They will either still be friends or just not be.
And you need to look out for, further incidents that may or may not happen. Even after their 'group therapy' project.
I work at a school.
I caught a kid making trouble.
I went up to him and reprimanded him.
Per the Teacher's request, I took him to the office, and wrote up a report.
The Counselor then followed up on it, as per his job and processing.
Well, the Counselor with the boy, came and talked to me too.
Well, RIGHT in front of me, the boy lied. He said he didn't do, what I said he did and wrote him up for.
He, lied.
The Counselor asked me to reiterate what happened. I did.
The boy still lied and said he didn't do it.
The Counselor then asked me, again, about the incident.
And I said, I saw it, FIRST hand, with my own eyes. It was not hearsay. I, saw, it.
But so, because the boy lied. The Counselor knew... that it would be a problem. Why? Because, when the Counselor then tells the boy's parents... they will believe him. And his lie. And will not believe the school staff, who said he caused trouble.
Do you see, how COMPLICATED this can be... even for, school staff?
After that, the Counselor was miffed.
I don't blame him. He was "stuck"... having to explain all of this, to the boy's parents. And there was 2 different stories about the situation.
But I know now, that he (the Counselor) sorta does not believe me, either.
But I, was not lying.
I know what I saw. And his Teacher knows, this boy is constant trouble and SHE told me to take him to the office.
But the Counselor, well, after awhile and after seeing so many lying kids, and parents year after year... well, its hard to really discern, what really happened.
School, hazards.
If a kid is lying about something, you can't just prove it.
I even am a bit disgusted about it too, now.
Unfortunately.
The kid still causes trouble.
But I feel pegged now.
And will look to "witnesses" to elaborate on anything else, I may "catch" a kid doing. If not, well... kids lie.
And make others look bad, even if that is school, staff.
And the kids who lie, don't even care.
And some Teachers, will believe their student, over another school staff.
The students bat their eyelashes and make puppy dog eyes and act all innocent.
Even the kids that come from "good" families, do this.
I see it everyday.
