I wouldn't. I'd want the teacher who'd seen them to haul them into school, punish them as they see fit and then inform me. I would punish them at home also. I would be thanking and apologising to that teacher and would ensure my children apologised to her too.

Too many parents have a laissez faire attitude these days.

To end up with our kids becoming decent, law abiding, employable adults we need to work with the school not against them.
I totally agree as do most accy webbers' but you always get the odd one.The ones we will all be laughing at in a few years time when we watch Airport and they've missed the flight.
