I am here! I like some of the suggestions above about fulfilling the obligation without actually apologizing for anything. As a teacher, I would accept pretty much anything from the kids that I knew were not involved and expect nothing but a full apology from those that were actually guilty.
Thank you, Cooter. that's why your students have a much higher probability of being productive members of society.
Anybody else remember that phrase? "Productive members of society" used to be what schools were preparing us to be.
I am very sorry our teacher has forced myself and the other innocent students to suffer the ignominy of apologizing for doing something we did not do. I hope it never happens again. Sincerely ________.

Sorry you feel that way. Do something about it instead of standing idly by with approving nods and winks as known extremists move freely about you and your surroundings and you won't have to apologize for them anymore. Sincerely, The World

Yes, so in other words using Kyunderdawgs post as an analogy...
Sorry you feel that way about your daughter Kyunderdawg.....she should have done something about it instead of standing idly by with approving nods and winks as known disrupting children move freely about you and your surroundings that way you won't have to apologize for them anymore. Sincerely, The Principal.
I knew this was a good analogy
(my apologies Kyunderdawg, I'll stop now)

Dont get me started. A principle got caught in a lie about my wife. We reported it to the superintendant. Do you think she got an apology? Heck no. I wouldn't make your daughter write it. I wouldn't care if they tried to suspend her. Total BS.
Just wondering, what grade is your daughter in. Intimidation can appear worse for the younger ones. Had a few [intimidation] instances with mine years ago.
Paul, I hope you can bring this a satisfactory conclusion.
Well, so far so good I guess. It was really weird this morning. The conversation didn't make it past ten minutes before she started complaining about her job and how much she has to do when she's not at the school. She let us know how her day goes and what she can't get done and how stressful it is. Really? It's called a JOB, idiot. If you can't handle it find another career. I told her not just our child, but the other eleven kids that had to do this was wrong and she was wrong for making them do this. "You're punishing these kids for no wrong doing. "How is that right?" I asked. She started crying and walked out. The look on our faces when she reacted that way was . Lost all respect for her.
When she walked out we immediately called for the principal. That conversation went a little longer. He tried a little psychology on her, but she didn't fall for it. He asked her how many of her classmates wrote the letter. Her response was 14. Her and one other student remained. He asked her if she thought it was fair that being the only two not writing one was the way to go since the rest took the time to do so. Her response........"yes", because I didn't do what the other kids did to get into trouble".
He is trying to convince me it was an assignment for the class . I call major since this so called "assignment" was a personal letter and had nothing to do with schoolwork. I called him on that too. This guy couldn't even look me in the face. He told her that maybe she could write a persuasion letter to explain to her teacher that it's not right for her to be punished for what the other kids did.
I told him that no one can apologize for some ones wrong or stupid decisions. Bottom line is she isn't doing this and it wasn't my call totally.........she made it because she knows it's not right. That's my girl !!!!

She cried? She CRIED????? Good Lord! Teach needs to see the school shrink.
Yes, sir. We couldn't believe it. I'm thinkin' that she can't deal with adult situations, so that's why she loves to work with kids. I asked my daughter after she stormed out of the room if that is what she's usually like. I wasn't surprised when she said "yes".
