Massive to you, I know that feeling of dissapointment, it's not nice. I found letting them know how much their actions have dissapointed me helps a little. In this case, as it happened at school and they are giving him a punishment I wouldn't punish him further at home. All the best hun.
Yes I am home so I dont have to worry about finding someone to look after him and the school has work on their website for suspended children so he will be doing that as well as his assignment that isnt due for another two weeks.
I have played the very disappointed card Dianne which im not sure if it went in or over his head, but to be honest I cant believe he has been given five days.
Well its actually five and a half days as I had to pick him up at lunchtime and he is not allowed back till next Wednesday! I realise they have their rules and regulations to follow and given that there was alcohol involved it is considered very serious but I dont see how the punishment fits the crime, him being away from school so long???
DH will be home soon and DS has been oh so helpful and asked if he can cook dinner tonight? Am I a bad mother for taking advantage of his guilt??
I honestly don't understand why they do normal suspensions and not in school suspensions! When i was in high school i hated it, didn't fit in so i would try to get suspended. I'd talk to his principal and try get them to do in in school suspension that way he still does all his class work and doesn't actually miss anything besides interaction with friends.
