At many of our area schools, the parents do not understand that they are expected to participate in the process, and instead just drop their kids off and expect the school to teach and discipline their children. <br /><br />So while I firmly believe that the parents must be notified (we had a situation where we weren't notified by the school until AFTER the disciplinary action was taken - good thing our teen was upfront with us), I recognize that the school must act, within reason, to handle a situation before it gets worse in regards to a disciplinary situation.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6246743662284890173.post-6036434724075363512013-06-08T08:25:32.508-04:002013-06-08T08:25:32.508-04:00I can understand if it is a minor infraction that ...I can understand if it is a minor infraction that parents are not immediately notified but if it requires the Principal to be involved then the parent should be immediately notified. The school should be working with the support of the parents not against the parents.CDnoreply@blogger.com
