To think this detention timing is ridiculous?

DS4 got a detention at school today.
It has been arranged for the 4th September.

What on earth is the point of a detention after the holidays? What did he do that couldn't be resolved before the end of term.

Additionally I really hope you mean your 4th son and not your 4 year old.

What's wrong with 4th September OP?

Would you prefer he did it in the holidays?
