[QUOTE="ksm, post: 530468, member: 12511"] Some times you just have to pick your battles... and if it was me, I'd probably let this one slide. Talk to your son and explain that you feel it wasn't fair, but sometimes in life, you have to take the lumps and keep going. I have had jobs like that... but I needed the job bad enough that I took the "punishment". Other times, I would stand up and even give my notice (twice) but it was at a time I could financially do it. I guess I had to decide in the long run, do I want to make my self worked up over it for months or let it go. Sometimes, it is worth letting go. And it is a good lesson for your son too. OK, he participated. OK, he took the punishment. I'd say his friends are probably thinking "he's the man!" by now that he didn't rat anybody else out. Too bad the students didn't speak up and say who really started it... or better yet, that student man up and do it himself. But it is over... school will be over in a few weeks... he won't return to that school... It might be one of the post important lessons he learns, is that you believe in him... you stood up for him... did it keep him from getting punished, no. Did he learn that you believe in him, yes! That is the most important part... you got his back! Anyway, just my 2 cents... KSM [/QUOTE]
