[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Sorry to disagree with pretty much everything, although I know you all made sense.  But what about the option of talking about it and discussing what happened and why without a punishing tine or attitude..  you might just find out he deleted it because he just can't take another reprimand, punishment, etc. For chrissakes, he had adhd and perhaps today this really was his absolute best.  Wouldn't it feel crappy as heck to be doing your absolute best and get shat on from 2 different directions?  It would be discouraging and disheartening.   If it were my kid, I would start like that before meeting out punishments.  See if there is more to it [/quote]

Aaaaaaand this is why your child will grow up thinking the world owes him everything and he can say and do whatever he wants because there is no such thing as punishment. Enough with the touchy-feely nonsense. [/quote]

Regardless of how someone "feels", the way the world works is you either behave properly or face the consequences of doing so. The consequence at school might be sufficient for disrespect to the teacher, but deleting OP's email was all kinds of wrong and needs to be dealt with. If my kids tried to get out of trouble for their actions with this attitude, I would tell them that people care more how you act than how you feel. That's life.[/quote]
