Lisa, I must confess that I struggled with that situation and decided that she could talk to him as she can any other student in the school. I didn't want to put her in a position in which she could not participate in school activities because I had forbidden her to speak to another student who might also be involved in that activity. I'm not a fool, I hope, and I'm well aware that these two won't stop being interested in each other just because I separate them for a time. So we will have to see how the situation evolves. I must say that when I spoke with the boy's parents, their response was totally supportive and appropriate. Both boys, Drew and his older brother, Mark, were marched down to their basement for a heavy dose of their father's strap on their bare behinds. The boys' father assured me that there wasn't a dry eye in the house when he was done with them. Drew is also grounded and may speak to Emma only at school. So, we will see what develops.

As to the grounding, it involves a prohibition against all social activities, texting, e- mailing, social media of any kind, and television. Any deviation from these rules will require parental permission and it is unlikely to be granted. I will admit that with both Ethan and Emma grounded it gets a little crowded sometimes. Their attitudes are not great, but that goes without saying. I've warned both of them that too much attitude will get their little fannies spanked again, but we may all go nuts before this is over.

Spring break is scheduled for March 30th to April 8th and there is a middle school dance from which all concerned parties will be absent. There is a good deal of weeping that goes on about that, at least from Emma. Ethan doesn't seem to care about missing the dance. I've told Emma that she won't be alone. She and Drew will be together in that neither will attend the dance. She doesn't think that's as funny as I do.
