DS's school has a good reputation for discipline, part of this seems to be that they thoroughly investigate every "incident".
DS seems to be getting called out of class approx. once a fortnight to make a statement over something he's witnessed. Once it was where a friend has punched him in the stomach over a dispute over the score in a game of badminton. One punch, no-one hurt, all over as far as the boys were concerned, no retaliation from DS. 28 boys had to write a statement over that.
The others have all been situations where he had no involvement at all. In today's fight he says he doesn't even know the names of the children involved but he was in the vicinity, so he was called out of class this afternoon to make a statement.
I have two concerns. Firstly, is he getting called in so often because he is at least a bit involved, or has got himself involved with a bad crowd? I don't think so really, his friends seem to be a nice bunch and the school have never been in touch with me over his behaviour.
Second - he's missing a ridiculous amount of school. The last 15 mins of German today, but it's part of one lesson or another every couple of weeks.
Is this normal, or OK?
