My father was an assistant principal.  He faced down kids with knives and nunchucks.  And I don't believe law enforcement was ever involved.

Seriously?  Going to court over a milk?  I just can't[/quote]

The kid was offered the option not to go to court. He chose not to take that option.[/quote]

He was offered a punishment. I wouldn't accept a punishment if I didn't do anything wrong. Good for this kid to have a backbone.

His mother is either backing him or making him go to court for this.  Taking a stand on pricniple is a valuable life skill, backing down and apologizing to smoothe things over is another valuable life skill.

The school sounds somewhat unreasonable here, but they are the authorities.  If he were to act like a responsible student (soon he'll be driving, not much longer until he's an adult), apologize rather than escalate, then he wouldn't need to go to court, in front of a judge.  [/quote]
