Jesus christ, another one of these ‘my little Johnny wouldn’t do that’ parents.
If my DS comes home and tells me he’s been in trouble, which admittedly is quite rare, I always assume there’s more to it than he’s telling me.
As another example, my nephew told me that he was put in isolation just for putting a book down too hard on a desk. ‘what else did you do though nephew? I doubt the teacher would jump straight to C3 over something so small. Had she already told you off for something that lesson?’ ‘Erm, well the teacher had already told me off twice but those things weren’t my fault either. She told me off for talking but I was telling somebody else to shut up, and the second time I was just finishing my sentence. I didn’t even throw the book, the teacher told me to pass it back to x and I kind of just skimmed it onto the desk and it slid off onto the floor.’
Then a couple of weeks later a conversation with my sister. Sister, ‘DS got isolation for putting a book down too hard on the desk, isn’t that silly?’ Me, ‘yeah, but what else had he done to annoy the teacher that lesson?’ Sister, ‘literally nothing, nephew told me and I believe him, he doesn’t lie.’ Lol, course not sister.
Funny how these things get minimised and minimised until they never happened at all. Sorry, it any parent this gullible is bloody stupid.
