My DS has just started sixth form. They were asked by their form tutor to do a short presentation about themselves to introduce to the class.
DS decided to start his presentation with an animated picture of a sperm cell and said, “That was me nearly 17 years ago.” It got some laughs from the class, but the teacher didn’t see the funny side and gave him a detention.
I honestly think this is a bit much. He’s 16, not a little kid, and in sixth form they should be encouraging independence and a bit of personality. It wasn’t offensive or disruptive, just cheeky humour. A telling off I’d understand, but a detention feels harsh.
AIBU to think the school is overreacting? If so can i repeal the detention or do something?
