"An 11-year-old boy who alerted his principal at St. John the Apostle School in Virginia Beach after another student brought a bullet to class is in trouble at the school.

His family said he’s being punished for speaking up and doing the right thing, and they’re upset because the reporting student received the same suspension as the student who had the bullet.

The family also thinks the adults involved at St. John the Apostle School in Virginia Beach need to have, “in their words,” an ounce of grace dealing with an 11-year-old child who was only trying to do the right thing.

The 11-year-old saw the bullet, but he was about to begin mandatory testing, so he waited until the testing was over, which was about two hours.

“We teach our children, ‘see something say something’ but that means ‘see something, say something’ when it is safe,” said the family’s attorney, Tim Anderson.

Said the reporting child’s mother, Rachel Wigand: “He doesn’t want retaliation or people to dislike him, so he is going to do it anonymously.”

To do that required his waiting until after testing, and then he told the school principal.

“Said thank you for reporting that, but in the same breath you are suspended because it wasn’t quick enough,” Wigand said.

And the reporting student and the student with the ammunition received the same two-day suspension.

“If you punish a child for reporting, they are not going to report anymore,” Anderson said. “It makes school more dangerous. She doesn’t want that. I don’t want that; nobody should want that.”

A woman who answered the door at the school only replied, “I’m sorry,” before slamming the door closed. There was no response to a question shouted through the door about why the student who reported the bullet was suspended.

The school’s attorney, who serves as general counsel for the Catholic Diocese of Richmond, wrote to Anderson that “the school will not reduce the discipline,” said that the child should “bring safety issues to staff immediately” and “please confirm parents will support the school’s decision.”

Do the parents support the school’s decision?

“I do not,” Wigand said. “I think it is extremely harsh, and unjust and the most ludicrous decision to do that, to suspend the reporting person.”

Anderson said there is no policy in the school’s student handbook for failing to report possession of ammunition.

“There is no punishment if you don’t immediately report it,” Anderson said. “I mean, what if he would have jumped up, and said ‘there’s a bullet in his bag.’ They would have locked down the school. It would have caused chaos.”

According to the reporting child’s mother, what happened has changed the dynamic of the classroom when the two students returned to class Monday after the two-day suspension that began on Thursday.

“He ultimately requested that he be allowed to be out of that desk group and move his desk over,” she said. “… There was no communication … between the two, according to my son.”

They also argue that the way the school handled the situation by suspending both removed the element of anonymity, as opposed to getting the information, calling police, finding the bullet and suspending only the student who had the bullet without any reveal of Wigand’s son.”

What message is the reporting student’s mother giving to her son now?

“I’ve told him that it is out in the school,” she said. “Hold your head high. That he did the right thing. He should relay that to the other students and say, ‘if this were you, what would you do?'”

Legal action could be pending on this.

Wigand and Anderson said that, if the school does not reconsider the two-day suspension as part of Wigand’s son’s record, they will go to court as a last resort.

In a statement from Superintendent of Catholic Schools Dr. Michael Riley, it said wouldn’t comment about student or family matters, but that it expects students “to bring safety issues to the attention of school staff immediately.”

Left for Dead

My record is perfect, you say

My class is the best kept, you say

I am the most prepared, you say

But then I got sick.

Call outs became more regular

Treatment plans put in place.

You tell me how valuable I am and how much you want me to stay

How can you look at me, and let me go

After I confess how bad its become

After you said you’d do anything to support me, like the family we were

After I handed you the accommodations letter, my doctor signed

After begging you that I loved my job

I need my job

Now I can’t afford to live

I can’t afford to survive.

I can’t go to my doctor appointments, 

now that I have no company insurance.

I ration my medications and cut my own dosages

Because you were to understaffed

and I was a liability

i read ‘cqms’ as cang qiong middle school earlier today, and ive been thinking about middle school teacher shen yuan for literally the whole day

shen jiu and shen yuan are 6th and 7th grade teachers—sj teaches history and sy teaches life science.

after having a miserable time in sj’s 6th grade class, lbh is anxious about having the other shen as his teacher in 7th grade—but sy is orders of magnitude nicer than his twin. he puts a stop to the bullying, stays late to help binghe with science (and later, his other subjects too), and doesn’t write binghe off as a ‘disciplinary problem’ or a lost cause

by the time he reaches 8th grade, he’s gone from the absolute bottom of his class to near the top. he takes sy’s science electives, and he comes back to visit his favorite teacher whenever he has the chance

and then he goes to high school.

the one thing that carries him through high school, and later through his middle-grade education degree, is his dream of returning to cang qiong and working alongside his favorite teacher…until that teacher falls in love with him. he’s definitely not staying at cqms any longer than it takes to get sy to love him back. and the best way to accomplish that is to complete his student teaching hours under sy’s guidance :)
