I hope he learns from it too Dianne From everything I've read your son sounds like a really good boy overall, just going through those horrible teenage years.

FWIW I was suspended a few times at high school () and they made me sit in an empty room off the front office all day, either doing homework or coursework the teachers would bring me, or I'd have to help the office ladies with admin stuff. I had to have morning tea and lunch breaks at different times to everyone else so I couldn't hang out with my friends. Hated it at the time, but it was a fantastic idea, much more of a punishment than being able to watch telly at home all day.
