Q:
Unfair punishment?
My 17 year-old son had an after school detention for missing a lunch detention. While he was serving his after school detention, he was written up for "asking to go to the bathroom several times" and "pretending to read a Spanish book". His punishment for this was 3 days of ISS (in-school suspension). I think that this is very unfair. Bodily habits cannot be controlled on whim and saying that a child is "pretending" to read is an opinion.
I would like to talk to someone about it, but the last time that I spoke with the assistant principal, he was very condescending to me. And I really don't want to have to deal with him.
He only has problems with 2 teachers at school and has had problems with these same teachers for the last 3 years. Last year he got 6 days of ISS for yawning in class, which I thought was ridiculous also.
I'm not sure what I should do or whom I should talk to.
