[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I let the school give consequences at school. Probably wouldn't do extra at home. He'll either toe the line at school, or get stuck with escalating unpleasant disciplinary action. If one of my kids get themselves into Saturday School, there go their weekend plans. Not fun. The natural consequences of bad behavior seem sufficient to me; I do not generally give any consequence that I have to make up instead of just letting life take its course. [/quote]

From a teacher, this is not supportive at all. Expectations for school should be reinforced at home. We need your support. [/quote]

With what? My kids HATED detentions. 2 of mine graduated without getting a single one, and my 8th grader has gotten a handful and now sworn to avoid them in the future. If you mess up in one are of your life, there are unpleasant consequences in that area but separate situations have little to do with each other. If I got a bad performance review at work, I wouldn't expect it to cause my home life to fall apart, nor would I expect anyone at work to care about any family problem I was having. Similarly, I would never make home discipline the teacher's problem but once a consequence has occurred for behavior I consider the case closed. Why invent trouble? How you behave gets you the consequences that logically result; if you don't like it, change the behavior that caused it.[/quote]
