OOoooo-- yeah, classic no-win situation. It's not really all that important that you win this particular point, right?

If it seems that the principal has "the wrong idea" about your house AUP/screen time rules, by all means pleasantly mention that to him/her.

Thank you so much for taking the time to share your thoughts with me the other day. I later considered why I was puzzled by your observations, and realized that you must have misunderstood; we already do __________. Just didn't want you to think that {child} spends all of his/her time in front of a screen-- nothing could be further from the truth! Again, I really appreciate your willingness to share your insights with us.
