[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]

OP, I'm glad the grade itself got cleared up.  It sounds like the teacher kept pretty detailed notes to be able to tell you those kinds of details.

Now... it's time for you to realize that your sons behavior wasn't acceptable.
He wasn't supposed to be telling funny stories.  He was supposed to be concentrating on the task at hand and working with his classmates.
He wasn't supposed to be burping (gross) intentionally in class at all, let alone immediately after that particular action had just been reprimanded.

Sarah Sweetpea didn't have to sit out the last 5 minutes of class because Sarah Sweetpea built up a quarter's worth of experience so the teacher believed that if she had burped, it was because she really needed to.

It's time start expecting more of your son.[/quote]
