To not know what to do about my son who pretended he went to a different school?

[chasethebear]

My son started year 9 this September. He has a lot of friends at the other secondary school. They started a day earlier than his school did and thought it would be hilarious to go into school with his friends. Apparently they spent most of the morning trying to figure out which classes he was in and caused an uproar at the school. They ended up putting him in classes and telling him they'll sort him out on the system ASAP. DS then obviously never went back and attended his actual school. I have no idea what to do about it. I haven't been contacted and no other word has been said but I hate to think what the other school have done.

Bahaha TamiTaylor

That'd be me

I thought it was quite funny. If you think this is a terrible thing and the OP's son is going to turn into a terrible adult, please find a sense of proportion. When my mum tells me what she used to get up to...although she went to a Catholic school and was caned every day for "dumb insolence". Regardless of her actual behaviour that day.

As for lack of respect to adults, oh come on. Less of the peal clutching. He's only 13.

I can completely see how it can happen. If a school has a waiting list and you get a place at the very last minute you could appear on the first day without being officially on class lists.

I agree with this too: Safeguarding procedures are not really designed to stop children doing extra days at school......they're designed to keep children safe! So will pick up on children not going to school, or adults trying to sneak in. I'm struggling to see how an extra child is a safeguarding issue.

Is anyone saying it’s a terrible thing? The people who are getting it out of proportion are the ones saying it’s hysterical and he’s resourceful!

It’s possibly funny if you’re a kid and very mildly amusing if you’re an adult. Is he resourceful? No. He’s a bit of a dick

It's not even mildly amusing tbh, nor clever and he's not some kind of genius, just a 13 year old kid who borrowed a tie and bluffed his way into a school, I'm sure him and his mates think it was brilliant, but they are 13. Why everyone is fawning like it's the 2nd coming I have no idea and also missing how this is "totes hilar". I wouldn't describe him as a dick yet as at the end of the day we are talking about a kid here who may turn out perfectly nicely, but he's certainly on the path to dick hood.

People fawn at all sorts of inane nonsense on here, you’d wonder what sort of tiny lives they lead.

@waxonfeckoff, yes you’re right. My “dick” description was unkind. The path to dick-Dom is long and perilous and he has only just started the journey.

Oh the fun sponges are out in droves.
I guess the teachers were not quite ready for first day. They should have been. There you go.

Oh everyone thinks this is really funny, hahaha yes wetting ourselves here.
This was completely outrageously unacceptable!!
I won’t even start on the fact that the school should have fucking noticed that there was a child there that shouldn’t have been!
Has anyone actually thought about the bloody ramifications of this?
No! Cos everyone thinks is funny, it’s not

Read my post just before yours aint

Total arse fuckery tbh. Good point made Monty

It's so ridiculous it is actually funny. Cheeky but funny.
Unprofessional where the school is concerned so they deserve it.

Has anyone actually thought about the bloody ramifications of this?

Try as I might I actually can’t think of any...

Beyond a wasted 5 mins of a form teacher emailing admissions to say who is this kid who turned up today?

Admissions email back- no idea who you are talking about.

Form teacher resolves to take kid to office tomorrow. Kid never shows up again. Form teacher scratches head.

The end.
