Today, my daughter's obsession with Canada got out way of hand when she was suspended for climbing up the flagpole, in an attempt to replace the flag with a red-and-white maple leaf one. FML

OP here. I made an account so I could follow up. For those of you doubting my parenting: in my household, no banshee-like deed goes unpunished. Yes, this was a school suspension, for those unsure, and it was three weeks, which is pretty reasonable. Sadly, this is a continuation jr. high school for kids who've been permanently expelled (I'm surprised no one asked why she's still in school during the summer), where banshee-like behaviors such as this are not rare.

She has passion for something that's not drugs or sex. Be proud.

You had one job as a parent OP... Keep her off the pole. And you just couldn't do that, now could you?

She just doesn't want to go to school. Mission accomplished.

Just a quick question, /how/ exactly did she climb the flag pole?

Why not use her interest in Canada to promote learning? If she's that "obsessed" with it then you can get her to fulfill all required PLOs for school using Canada as a passion project. And if you won't, send her up here, and I'll do it. Doesn't sound like bad behaviour for the sake of being bad. Sounds like a kid who is frustrated with the system (school and country) and sees an alternative she prefers.

This is amazing somebody give that girl a Canadian cigar (pine cone coated in maple syrup)

Does your daughter by chance watch Hetalia?

Does she by any chance watch Hetalia?

I don't understand why you're getting downvotes. Maybe individuals on FML really don't enjoy references.
