So I had a call from the Principal of big boy's school today.
Not good.
Long story short, he forged a note to get himself two free sausages at the sausage sizzle. Then when he was pulled up on it, he lied. To the Principal.
So as punishment, over the holidays he has to write a letter of apology to the P&C (they were the ones running the sausage sizzle), pay for the snags and hand his student leader badge in. Principal told me he isn't going to lose it and Zak told me he was told he needs to earn it back.
Sigh.
Disappointed.
I'm not dishing out any extra punishment at home as I think the school is dealing with it well enough. But I am considering asking the Principal that Zak be asked to apologise to the P&C at their next meeting. Is that too cruel?
Stealing and lying. Thats not the boy I have raised.
Mind you, when I was a similar age, I forged a check from my parents to buy a school recorder. I learnt from it. Hopefully he learns from this.

Like mother like son Shelly, LOL! Just kidding. One time, my eldest didn't want to show us his school card/grades so he signed the card with my name and returned it to the teacher. Oh, those things our children do :-D
Big hugs for you Shelly, it's not easy being a parent.
I'm guessing this P&C is a group of people? Maybe he could deliver the letter to one of them personally and then they could discuss what he did, rather than facing a group of them?
Like you say though, the important thing is to learn from our mistakes, because we all make them don't we, even as adults but it's putting things right and learning and moving on positively, that matters.
I'm sure things will work out Shelly.
Take care!
:)
oh dear!! Yeah, I think the delivery of the letter will be enough - I hate standing up in front of groups!!
I used to sign my own permission to NOT participate in sports notes :o)
Oh, and ...... feed .... your .... kid!!!!!! He was clearly STARVING!!! :oP
