in this case, whatever the reasoning is for your son's punishment being extended for a month, i don't think it's acceptable for the school to tolerate other kids teasing him while he's being punished. it seems to me the school should deal with those children in the same manner your son was dealt with. |
I agree. The son's punishment shouldn't be to be made fun of. THIS is why kids don't want to go to school!
