[QUOTE="susiestar, post: 273738, member: 1233"] I am very glad to hear something positive came of the suspension. I find suspension to be a totally bizarre "consequence". It is usually given to students who do not want to be in school or in class. Isn't suspension REWARDING the student for the bad behaviors unless they have a parent who will make home life miserable for the child? I never EVER felt that it would be good for any of my kids. You have probably hit the nail on the head with it being time to move on from telling the child how wrong he is. I hope he continues to have good feelings about this school, and that it is a wonderful experience. I know for us the difference between elem school and middle school was staggering - even for Jessie who is truly a easy child. The school seemed to want to punish ALL the students just for BEING. Then the switch to the jr high was again staggering - the faculty and staff seemed to ENJOY the kids AND the parents. I think taking him to the potluck was a great choice, and I hope he can do some other interesting things while suspended. maybe a science or children's museum if one is nearby? [/QUOTE]
