[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]So OP wanted to sit down with every authority to create a plan of action to get her son to obey, except the kid himself? If you have not taught your child the universal respect for authority, they will not respect authority. And blaming “the system“ for not teaching him what you should guarantees the child will blame everyone around him for the rest of his life.[/quote]

OP here. I absolutely spoke to my son and do frequently. [b]However, telling me he wouldn’t listen to her in class isn’t something I can do much about[/b]. I fully believe my son is at an age where he is responsible for his behavior and can make better choices but I also don’t think it’s in a vacuum. A teacher pleading with him to stop is not effective. He needs to be send to the principal and that’s what I said in my email. He’s actually never been sent to the principal, which is the big consequence, and i think he needs to be.[/quote]

Really? This just answered your question “Is my Private School enabling poor behavior?” No. YOU are. You don’t know how to discipline your kid? All teachers should notify you of difficulties with your son (send an email to teacher). If you get any emails/notifications he is punished. See how simple that is?

This.  If my kid's teacher is reporting behavioral problems, my kid and I are having a talk.  And serious infractions = serious consequences at home.  You don't need a meeting with every single person at the school to create a "plan of action."  You need to discipline your kid.  Those big meetings are for when you've tried that already and there's some bigger issue that needs cooperation.  But you haven't tried it yet.  [/quote]
