[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here. Okay, I see the point about being the second to burp. I'll be sure to work with my child so I can ensure he never again engages in Defiant & Disrespectful Burping (which was surely his goal).

I would bet, though, that if Sarah Sweetpea burped immediately after her lab mate did the same, she wouldn't have been told to sit for the last five minutes and lost 20% of the grade. This is a good lesson for my kid, though, in that he is annoying and therefore will be punished more aggressively. [/quote]

Because Sarah Sweetpea has earned the benefit of the doubt. The kid who engages in persistently obnoxious, disruptive behavior has already used up all his rope and then some. Do you really not understand this? It may not seem fair, but this is how normal humans react  and this is what he will be facing in life and employment.

And don’t be so sarcastic about the defiance and disrespect. Doesn’t matter if he meant it or not (he probably did mean to push limits), that’s how a normal human will perceive it when they ask you do to something and you do the exact opposite. Though if your tone and attitude in this thread to any hint of a challenge or contradiction is any indication, I guess I see where he’s getting it from.[/quote]
