I read the story with a sense of disbelief.
When you do the maths - he has gone to the school for 3 years.
Each school, year you might get 12 weeks off (6 during summer, then there's Xmas and the half terms). That's 40 weeks of school. Or 200 days per year.
In 600 days of school, he has committed a misdemeanor every 1.5 days.
Expelling him is too kind. I'd look to make the kid really suffer.
And this habit of everyone suing everyone else just because something hasn't gone the way they wanted is really peeing me off.
The father should have picked up on this issue LONG ago and had a few choice words with his kid. He should be backing the school, not suing them.
Of course, to do that would mean accepting that he has a responsibility as a parent to keep his kid in line...
Nah, it ain't gonna happen is it?
