How bad is it for a child to be put on a behaviour report?

Is it bad for a child to be put on behaviour report? Something I’ve never taken lightly but starting to think that maybe it’s not that bad considering the amount of pupils on it in my sons year

Depends what the child is on report for. My son was on reports, had an unbelievable amount of detentions too. His crime? Chewing gum, talking in class, not handing his homework in on time, missing registration repeatedly (though not missing any classes). He’s a cheeky boy who can’t keep his trap shut. He’s also very charming and the teachers love him, even if frustrated by his behaviour.
If he had the above detentions for bullying, being rude, talking back, hitting someone I’d be a lot more concerned.

I’d be hugely embarrassed and wondering wtf was going on with my child that they could be acting like such a dick in school.

It could effect his secondary application if it’s kept on file

Approx 3% of the year group are on it at my current school. It's not great and usually a step towards collecting evidence if/when an exclusion is required.
