DSS (15) has always had problems at school, usually a detention either lunch time or after school and always for the same reason - arguing with teachers. The usual punishment is no Xbox or being grounded.
This week has been the worst! He's already been in referral for half of yesterday plus 2 after school detentions and I've just had another email saying he's been in referral today! He already doesn't have his Xbox and is grounded.....so how the heck do we add to that? He's suppose to be going to a theme park at the weekend with his friend for his birthday, I say he doesn't go but DH thinks that's too harsh?
We've tried to address the issue of arguing with teachers but unfortunately as soon as someone starts showing authority he just will not back down and do as he's told, I don't know how he's going to manage the rest of his life like that! We know how to handle him at home so we don't have any problems with him it's just school.
Any advice would be great, thank you
