Depends on what it is, but likely yes. But if my kid is in trouble for defending against a bully, I'm wreaking havoc

Absolutely yes.

Context is important as is culpability! My little boy got into trouble at school but if they'd taken the context into account he really wasn't being naughty.

I always get my child’s reason/version of the story before moving forward with any consequences. I have noticed the school never asks the child why they do something so I like to know their reasoning, especially if it’s not their normal character or behavior.

You can discuss the issue with your child first and then still support the disciplinary action. I'm confused about that option. I would absolutely discuss with my child first and go from there.

This is entirely dependent on what the child was doing and the type of disciplinary action.

Depends on the misbehaving and if the "punishment fits the crime" I remember I once recieved 5 days of after school detention for having spray paint on my locker... after someone else graffiti'd a whole row of lockers.. My mum went down and asked them to show her the footage of me doing the graffiti... and when they saw it wasn't me they still didn't cancle it- so my mum told them to fuck off lol

I would talk to my child and see what they say. If it was valid then yeah I'd support whatever the school hands down. My dad was pretty strict but fair and always heard us out. If we actually misbehaved we were in trouble at home as well as school. But there were a couple times he defended us. In high school I had a teacher who gave the whole class detention for the actions of one kid because he wouldn't come forward. My dad called the school and was like yeah that's not happening and the teacher ended up taking the detention back. My brother got in trouble for getting in a fight but it turned out this kid was verbally harassing him and when my brother turned around and said something about his mom this kid started pushing him. The principal told my dad it didn't matter, that they had a zero tolerance policy for fighting. My dad was like so if I jump over this desk and punch you, we'll both get in trouble? The principal was like ok I see your point, we'll rescind the suspension 😅

It depends on situation if u acting a fool absolutely but if the teacher wrong them imma back them up

It honestly depends. My brother was really naughty at school, always disrupting lessons etc and my mum knew that the school wasn’t lying bc he was like that at tuition and at home, so she sided with the school and held him accountable. Me on the other hand, was picked on by a teacher and my mum knew that everything she was saying was so out of character for me, so she challenged the school and the teacher and stood up for me. So, every answer is the correct answer in the appropriate situation.

Depends on the situation and the disciplinary action. My daughter (9) has been in trouble a few times in her school years so far… I usually support their disciplining however there have been a few times she got in trouble for things I saw as “dumb” regardless I always have a conversation with her on what happened and maybe what we can do next time. Etc.

Yes because if I wasn’t comfortable with the school’s disciplinary actions then my child wouldn’t be going there.

Depends what it is 🤷🏾‍♀️ I’m not gonna just be yelling at my kids over some shit you say lol
