[QUOTE="Marguerite, post: 267102, member: 1991"] Just confirming here - what is the purpose of te field trip? Is it intended purely for recreation? Absolutely no academic value whatsoever? Not even teavching anything of value with regard to social skills? Or is there perhaps some degree of academic/socal value in tis? If the latter, then education in any form should NOT be withheld, or held to ransom. Especially for a kid who really needs the opportunity to succeed in some area, to bolster his confidence to try again in the morechallenging areas. See what the teacher responds to that. Good luck, I hope you can makesure he goes. It's a threat tat should never have been madde, and certainly not as a last minute thing. Discipline is only of value, where the child is able to control the behaviour that people are trying to discipline. If the child is either unaware of the behaviour, or is unable to change it, then punishing non-compliance is simply cruel. It achieves less than nothing, because it is teachning the child that he is a failure because of who he is. Marg [/QUOTE]
