Defending yourself from a bully in high school will get you suspended

[barbarian]

Don't worry about her missing any assignments. I have 2 in high school and yes it is very important to push them to do their best in school and we all use grades to set that standard and want them to make high grades, but I promise at the end of high school, an A vs a C in elementary school or middle school is 100% totally irrelevant. Especially based on these circumstances because it isn't a case of not understanding. Sucks yes, but that bully won't pick on her anymore so mission accomplished. Tell her to enjoy the time off school for 'good' behavior.
