[QUOTE="Lucedaleblessed, post: 571228, member: 6747"] I often wonder if there is a right way to punish. I do feel that it is rather odd that students are kicked off their teams for action way minor to the one their role-models - the professional players do. How often do we not read about player one or player two being arrested for fights and driving under influence? They are not kicked off their teams. They can continue to play until they are sentenced by the courts. That is the double standard our children have to adjust to. They have to behave until they make it professionally. Then they can act out. Life dosen't give them a good lesson there. But I also understand that the schools have a reputation to defend. I understand that they very often don't know what would work. The problem is that children generally adjust very well even to poor condition. We can send them to the juvie. They hate it, but they adjust and become street smart. We can put them in a Residential Treatment Center (RTC) marketed very strict. They adjust and play the program and are out all too soon with a degree in manipulation. We sent our daughter to a boot camp for a weekend. It was cold, it was hard. We will properly never stop hearing that from her, but it was certainly no cure and not the money worth unless 3 months respite was the goal from the very start. I guess we just expected more. I would love to give advice, but I cannot give any. Life is just not fair. I can only send my prayers. [/QUOTE]
