To side with teacher over dd?

GS 1 told us he got a red card for putting his feet on the desk. It turned out he was dancing on the table! You need all the details before you act?.

If I were your DD I would be having a word with the teacher to find out what really went on. There may ( or indeed may not) be more to it than what your DGS is letting on . I would be upset to think my 9 year old DGS was made to stand all afternoon for simply leaning on his chair . So what he leaned on his chair ? If on the other hand he was swinging dangerously on his chair that’s another matter. I still think making him stand for an entire afternoon (2-3 hours?) is a bit over the top . But your DD needs the facts.

Well, it seems a bit draconian but I wouldn't be complaining to the teacher about it.There could well be more to it, and children don’t always speak the truth! ?

He's 8. But teacher had told twice. I'm one of those who says let teachers do as they see fit.

Our local secondary school Head has just resigned. In the newsletter he said that he loved the kids- but just could not put up with the nonsense from the parents'.

How old is GS? And I bet there is more to it than just 'leaning back on chair'...
