My DS arghhhh

Has been excluded from school for a day for having a mobile phone in school.

Now I accept it's the school rule and fully support that.

I don't see however that "a day off school" as punishment!

I've grounded him taken his phone off him etc

He's been given 2 relatively easy pieces of homework to do today. I'll be at work and will need to take the sky viewing card laptop and PS3 to work with me.

Why why why!

Why not give him a month of detentions and make him pick litter up at school or something?

He's 14

I'm pleased that he's taken it on the chin. AND that he's not let that spill over into other aspects of school. Bodes well for the future.
TBH they should probably review the phone policy now that the kids keep their diaries on their phones! When I see teachers gleefully commenting on videos that were filmed in class, I know that the rules need to be updated.
