[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I actually get the points ding on the "threat" issue.  (Seems kind of tween/teen silliness-- but whatever, it is safety related.)

BUT--  losing points for burping and thus for clean up is not appropriate because she would not ALLOW him to clean up.  It's "excessive" for the "crime." [/quote]

It's her class and she didn't deem it excessive.  Remember how we started on page 1 with OP's son doing NOTHING wrong?   Now we're debating if what he did do wrong was wrong enough for the grade to suffer.

OP - your son is a reflection of you.  You rationalize away any valid points and still think he could do nothing wrong.  He picks it up from you and has the same pattern.  You're doing him huge disservice - you will not be there in college, grad school and work place.   Being able to function in a group without feeling like you have to defy authority and taunt someone - is golden. Nobody likes a jerk, wants to be around a jerk or will give him unlimited chances and endless benefit of the doubt.  Except his mom.  and even she shouldn't.[/quote]
