there are almost always more than two sides to every story.
Although I don't know the details, I have an inkling about what may have sparked the confrontation with Julian.
While nothing justifies striking another student—ever —I also know good friends are sometimes worth defending.
This has been a tough year for a lot of students, as the first year of middle school usually is.
Keep up the good work, and keep being the fine boy we all know you are. All the best, Lawrence Tushman, Middle-School Director

Subject: Jack Will. Dear Mr. Tushman,
I spoke with Amanda and John Will yesterday, and they expressed their regret at Jack's having punched our son, Julian, in the mouth.
I am writing to let you know that my husband and I support your decision to allow Jack to return to Beecher Prep after a two-day suspension.
Although I think hitting a child would be valid grounds for expulsion in other schools, I agree such extreme measures aren't warranted here.
We have known the Will family since our boys were in kindergarten, and are confident that every measure will be taken to ensure this doesn't happen again.
To that end, I wonder if Jack's unexpectedly violent behavior might have been a result of too much pressure being placed on his young shoulders?
