[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Are teachers allowed to give lunch detentions in MS? My child was assigned lunch detention for calling a friend what the teacher referred to as "the r word" in the hallway. The friend wasn't upset by it and the teacher isn't even his. From what I hear on here, there are a lot worse things being said in the hallway all the time. [/quote]
OP what teacher it was, and the friend's reaction, aren't relevant.  Schools have to start somewhere and this year, they are trying to re-establish some pre-pandemic guardrails.  I know kids who were assigned multi-day detentions.

As a SN parent I find the casual use of the r word to be insidious.  I understand that kids hear mixed messages (in SEL lessons the teachers tell them it's a micro aggression but in the hallways and cafeteria, nobody is usually on hand to catch or correct and the word is everywhere).  I would save my righteous indignation with the school for another time and just focus on helping your kid grow up with awareness and empathy.
