My daughter got suspened one day for smacking some boy up side the head. I had no problem with it, as the boy grabbed her to cut in line for lunch. We had conversations about any boy touching her, I told her to punch him right square in the nose. She said she tryed but he moved his head and got him right in the side of the head. She never had another problem with any guy in school. The boy got one day also, so I guess it all worked out..
