[QUOTE="DaisyFace, post: 336640, member: 6546"] Hello and Welcome! At my kids' school the discipline is progressive...In other words, the first offense may be only one days suspension, the second offense is three days, the third is five days and the fourth is 10 days, etc until expulsion My son once ended up with a ten day suspension for what I considered a very minor offense--BUT because he had been in trouble so often that year...he had worked himself up to the ten days. It ended up being a very good lesson for him. He learned that it was not the offense that mattered as much as the "bad reputation" he was developing for himself. The following year he put in a huge effort and really turned himself around. I don't know all the details, of course, but I wonder if your school has a similar policy? If so, is there any way that your son could learn from it? --DaisyFace [/QUOTE]
