DS has been excluded from school

[Blossomflowers]

Had a call from the police on Friday pm, DS son was found with cannabis at school. They brought him home, searched his room and gave him a Caution, school has excluded him whilst they decide what to do. This sounds very bad but actually turns out he found the tiniest bit ( a stalk and not smokeable ) in a bag a school, happened to fall out of his pocket, he is an idiot for picking it up and is now grounded. But I am very about his future, he was doing so well and very well liked by his teachers, now he could be expelled. I kind of think that school over reacted, what do you guys think?

Thats great blossom so you got throught that and got come longer term help.

Has his dad said he'll step up and disapprove of any more smoking weed or whatever?

andsmile sadly not, he is not a very good dad. One of the main reasons why we split, it was like having 2 teenagers. DS does not respect him, all grown up parenting down to me

Well fair play to you recognising this..just minimise the exmanchilds influence in every which way

I don't think the school is overreacting at all. He was found with illegal drugs in his possession and schools should have a zero tolerance policy on drugs I feel. It's a very serious matter and he was lucky to just get a caution from the police.

Just read through the thread, it's good he has not been expelled for his sake. Hopefully now it has scared him and he won't do it again. The school will be watching him now all the time for drugs.
