But if the OP is correct and his child has got punished and the others have not then surely it teaches the child nothing about authority but something about the lack of justice and the degree their parents will fight their corner. Going mental at the school will not help but making it known you will not allow other families to bully the school into decisions that are detrimental for the OP's child is kind of important. Oh and for the record don't get your kid doing boxing - if you kid sticks up for themselves using a left left right it is hardly going to look good - get them doing judo a little scuffle and a hip throw onto a concrete playground will be more deniable and really knock the wind out of the bully.
Son excluded from school!

My son has been excluded a few times. I think its mandatory now that any fighting or violent exchanges are dealt with this way now.
However, I believe in isolation for the day but not exclusion but only because it's like rewarding them with a day off. So what I have done is set them my own homework that takes them best part of the day anyway.

I wouldn't car about tax etc if my child was being treated unjustly aswell as also being bullied while the teachers chose to ignore it. I don't know about these days, but when I was at school (not that long ago) being excluded was seen as a BIG deal. In fact, we never heard of anyone getting excluded.
being excluded for a day is NOT a punishment for the kid, he will play games on his xbox all day... (the being told off by the school is really the punishment) you are over analysing the situation...
his parents going down to the school and creating merry hell will show him he can do anythign he wants at school...
kid excluded for 1 day, parents should ground him for a week no matter what as kids will lie about what happens... I mean grounding your kid and stopping him playing games on his PC / xbox is actually good for them so you are not even really punishing him..
its not a criminal record, its not damaging his education... dont waste the schools time... (unless he is being bullied then speak to them).
Your kids comes home beaten to hell after a fight in school = an issue, your kid is excluded for a week = call the school get more info, kid excluded for 1 day = NOTHING FORGET IT

treated unjustly? you want a full enquiry, with a report etc etc... do you want the school to employ security and investigators?
excluded for 1 day = nothing...
the kid who got scratched what will his parents do if nothing happens? they are probably posting on some forum saying their kid got assulted and that they are going to go down to the school and create..
Why are people convinced there is another side to the story which isn't being told?
The 'problem' kids when I was at school got away with just about everything day on day and nothing got done.
The more behaved kids get hell / suspended as soon as they step out of line.
Oh and sort this issue out now and make sure the school does something because when it happened to me I started skipping lessons, then missing days,weeks, months then left just before the final year of school.
Go above the school if needed, the education system is littered with people that do the bare minimum, anything for an easy life, all talk no action.

lol i ended up headbutting some guy at school and only got a detention! yes he dropped like a sack of spuds and i only ever had 3 detentions in all my time at school.
so either schools have become hyper sensitive to actual violence, as it takes quite a lot to actually exclude someone froma school...or he scratched this guy pretty bad.

Well this has already been answered - you give them work to do at home.
Which was why I said they should not do that.
So you are presuming he has lied - great - whatever happened to trust (with a realistic outlook).
Which appears to possibly be the case which you have clearly not noticed.
So potentially the OP's child has been bullied has reacted once and got penalised for it. Yet you suggest he ignores his child's story then punish him even further.
i havnt got time to read the rest of the thread, but i really do hope you sort this out... kick up a fuss as much as you can. This kind of punishment for trivial things does happen, some people just have no common sense whatsoever- schools think they can walk all over kids and do what they want because the children won't be able to respond accordingly-it's happened to me and i was a very shy child at primary+junior school... i once had the school try to give me and some friends off-record detentions- their way of punishing us for a trivial offence, and since it was off record they were expecting us to keep it quiet from our parents... i do hope you can get this suspention taken off his record..
People are going to wear this mac joke out far to quickly.
You mean it hasn't already?

This thread is ****ing hilarious.
I bet jon.bda has been waiting to jump down Fox's throat for months and saw a very very lame opportunity to do so.

Fix the bullying problem, first of all make sure the school recognizes the problem and does something.
Secondly, make him stand up for himself more, I mean, people want to tear up his books, he loves school and learning, top of his class, and private schooled after normal school, sounds like a typical person to pick on
.Tech him some social skills, teach him to walk normally ( I'm guessing because he's pushed around etc he's walking in a typical nerd face down, shoulders down ''pick on me'' way).
Errrr, lol ? Of course not, being expelled for a day is nothing.
Yeah, and make him a social inapt nerd...
It depends on the school I guess, people were expelled from mine for silly things like a couple of days for fireworks or a week for having a smoke of weed in front of the school.
