Ds2 is 14, he is on the school rugby and football teams, winning prizes for both in the last school year. He is forcast an A in the subject at GCSE. He loves all things sport at achool and is very good at all apects of it. He is not* a model pupil, he in constanly in trouble for not having his shirt tucked in, top button undone and his homework is a bit hit and miss in some subjects, but he could be an awful lot worse IYSWIM.
Before half term in February he came across one of the PE teachers in the corridor and challenged his team selection for the football team. He was alone when he did this. Ds2?s argument was that there were boys who never went to training who automatically got a place whereas some boys turned up for training every week and didn?t even get on the bench. He had been picked for this match and had attended training. The teacher told him that this ?wasn?t five a side? and it was his team and up to him to make the selection. Ds2 described him at this point as ?angry?, the conversation continued, Ds2 admits that he had a tone in his voice and it ended with him saying that he no longer wanted to be on the team. What he was supposed to do if he wanted to quit the team was go to a meeting with the teacher and Head of PE and submit his resignation in writing, this meeting was set for the following day and he forgot to go ? I can believe this ? he forgets everything if it isn?t written down. He was then called to the Head of PE?s office and given his punishment.
In your opinion what would have been suitable?
