DS and one of his friends damaged a table (by stabbing it with something sharp - think it was sets of compasses). They are 6yo.
I received a letter saying that he had done this and, after consulting the head teacher, they have asked DS to pay towards a new table.
The teacher spoke with me and said that it is not that they want payment as such (it is a cheap IKEA table) but to teach the children that their actions have consequences. They can donate as much as they feel is correct.
DS has emptied his piggy bank and has volunteered CHF 9 (we had looked up the IKEA website to find out the price) and has drawn a letter of apology.
What do you think?
