Janet, you could not have written a better apology letter!!!!!!!! It was great. I am so glad that you didn't apologize for calling her a "B" but just apologized that she heard you call her that. Has the principal said anything to you about your apology letter? I'm glad that everything has worked out. You are right....the apple does not fall far from the tree. You should just feel sorry for them, kill them with kindess, and go on with your merry way. You should feel especially sorry for that boy. He is obviously not being brought up in a good home environment. Maybe you could talk to him personally. You have to potential to have a major impact on him, and in a good and positive way. He obviously needs some sort of positive guidance from someone, as it is quite obvious he is not getting it from home.
