Back on topic. Breaking the rules once or twice is almost excusable (in a sort of we deserve a second chance way), but 400 times? Either the child has mental issues, or he has a discipline problem. Perhaps daddy should be looking close to home for the source of the problem.

Allthough 400 time is unacceptable behaviour, we have no time span on the time it happened, IE 3,4 or 5 years.

7 days

edit> that is true but how many days a year does a child go to school ?

It says he's been a pupil there for 3 years - so that's 400 offences over 3 years = 133 per year = about 44 per term.
I'd get rid of the little toe rag for sure!

I know but even in every year added together at school even a hundred times would be a lot surely? and this is just things he has been CAUGHT doing.it's probably going to be an even larger figure than that

.

At the ned of the day, if i had a child. If they had broken the rules over 100 times id probably expect them to be expelled.
Especially if they were caught smoking or drinking. It is illegal!
In mind are the 12 year olds who hang around outside our house until about 10pm. Kids now a days need showing who's boss!
I actually don't think been expelled from school will be too hurtful though, it's just an excuse to have legal time off school

400 midemeanors and they are kicking up a fuss?

This country?

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?

As I mentioned in an earlier post, it seems that one of the few "misdemeanours" that the father feels is worth being considered worthy of action is the boy being in possession of alcohol. Maybe someone should tell him that it's not just against school rules, it's against the country's rules. But presumably if the police picked up his little boy for that he would just try to sue them instead?

What concerns me the most is that the parents should be helping to prepare sonny boy for the real world. What happens when he hits the age of legal responsibility, then goes and breaks the law 400 times and expects to get away with it. Real life ain't like that. The boy deserves a kick up the a*se from his dad... about 3 years ago.
