Anonymous
Fair. Maybe not in elementary school, but in middle school it is absolutely fair. "Prior warningS"

How is it fair to take away Field Day for this? Would you care if this happened to your kid?
When I talk to the principal she said the boys were given prior warnings about it.


No offense. But this is why there are behavior problems in schools. You don’t think it is fair that your kid was not following the rules and there was a consequence. I actually applaud the school for giving a consequence. The amount of parents that try to defend their kids actions is despicable.

The Prior warnings were doing the morning announcements.

Yes, it's fair.

I feel for you kid's teachers. He clearly never has consequences for breaking rules.

Op, get your act together as a parent. Your child is misbehaving and you're making excuses.

$100 says OP’s kid went to Stratford or Waynewood for elementary. This excuse making tracks.

I’m positive this was the final straw and they had dozens of issues over the year.

I think as a parent this is when you back the school. You tell your kid they should have listened and behaved.

I cant tell if this is elementary or middle school? I would want more information about when the prior warnings were given and what they were for. If this is middle school and both boys were given warnings for the same behavior more than once then yes I think its fair.

I will get jumped on for this but if its elementary school I dont believe its at all fair. Young bodies need movement and field day is more of a right than a privilege. On days like today when recess was canceled I would expect extra horseplay. And its usually not an even fair sided story in middle school, meaning, one child reacts to someone pushing their buttons and its more likely to be out of the childs control. I would not allow for my child in elementary school to miss field day as a punishment.

OK? Yes, and? Therefore, your brat was acting up at the very beginning of school, was warned, and that warning was fresh in his mind. He chose to ignore the warnings PLURAL and was given a consequence accordingly.

You are a horrible parent.

Your sh*tty, enabling parenting is the reason your kid does stupid sh*t at school. I bet all of his teachers hate him and you.
