[QUOTE="Metvan, post: 34432, member: 426"] My son's recent school has been doing this all year. I tried to work with them to come up with some other ways for him to work it off in a way that would be more meaningful (have him do extra chores at school to pay it off...we put his xbox in time out as collateral until he's "paid" for the expense using his allowance) and they said that since the phone company (that fixed some wiring he pulled out) wouldn't take tanner's work in trade for their services, the school wouldn't either. We always hold our son accountable and discipline him by taking his xbox away until it is paid for, but we don't have the money to actually hand over to the school and I haven't done it on principle alone. I figure if they are SO sure that they can meet my son's needs, then THEY can assume the financial responsibility while he is in their care. [/QUOTE]
