    Order these from least likely to most likely.  The below order is mine.

    1) Intractable slog lasts for years until Western will gives out and Putin is on last legs or new leader is in place with less interest, borders resettle fairly pre-2022, with Crimea Russian and some small pockets of eastern Ukraine Russian.  Korea-like resolution.

    2) Putin crosses some accepted line in the sand and things go wildly out of control.

    3) Coup followed by Russian pull back.

    4) Russian lines continue to collapse and Ukraine achieves its goals of retaking everything to 2014 borders.

    5) Momentum swing happens and Russia gets back on the offensive to do their pre-war aims.

    Wow, this thread blew up.  Thank you to everyone for your input. 

    To fill in some info gaps, I'm on the east side of Round Rock so it's not the hood but it's not Eanes ISD either. I don't know for sure what the punishment is for the other student other than the principal telling us that our son wouldn't be seeing her around school for a while. I don't know if that means at-home suspension, ISS, or moving to an alternate campus. It's very annoying that the school officials want to speak in riddles since they can't give specifics.

    I talked with my son more about it last night. He seems unphased by it. I did hear him over the weekend talking to his friends on discord and he told them he thought he tripped until he overheard the principal telling his grandmother they saw someone push him when they watched the security tapes so I don't think he's BS'ing about knowingly getting pushed. He did mention to my mom yesterday when she picked him up from school that he's going to start holding onto the handrail while going down the stairs just in case. 

    A side story to this, he's been bugging us for a phone since last year because most of his friends had them. Then when he went back to school this year, one of his teachers took a poll in one of his classes of students who had phones and he said he was one of only a few who didn't. Fast forward to Friday when this happened, the nurse asked him if he could call his parents and when he said he didn't have a phone, she seemed surprised. So when my mom got there to pick him up, the nurse and principal were saying it would be a good idea to get him a phone in case of emergencies. I finally relented and got him one this weekend so he's been on cloud 9 about that. He even said last night in a joking manner he was glad he got pushed because he finally got a phone as a result.

     

    Anyway, we're going to move forward with pressing charges so I'm sure I'll check in with updates once things progress.

     

     

    I'd be pressing for the girl to be removed from that school (and your son's future high school) permanently.

    I thought it was up to the DA office to press charges.  You can ask for them to do it, but they don't have to.  I was under the impression that it was only the DA and that you can confirm that you would cooperate, but they can still choose not to.  I'm not a lawyer and I didn't stay at a Holiday Inn last night.

     

     

    My assumption is that when the school admin says "press charges" what they mean is contact the police. Unless the parents of the victim push the issue, the school plans on keeping everything under wraps. Wouldn't want the school getting negative publicity.
