Don't mess with the Zohan! (Arie)

I went to PTC for Arie today. The report was great. Her reading score was amazing. No complaints from the teacher. This kind of PTC makes a parent proud! Until......I had heard that Arie had been sent to think time. Arie wouldn't tell me all of the details, so I asked the teacher what had happened.

The story goes like this: Arie was playing with her friend Vanessa at recess. AJ (a boy in their class) wanted to play the kissing game with Vanessa. Arie being the good friend that she is, intervened. In the teachers word "she took him out". The teacher said that it was some type of karate/take down move. She was giggling a bit telling me what had gone on. Remember Arie weighs 40+lbs. The teacher wasn't too mad because Arie was taking care of her friend. But she would like to see Arie resolve problems with talking rather than violence! I am glad that Arie is on my team!
