My son aged 14 studying in class IX is always making some sort of problems in his class.The teachers are very often calling us and suggesting us so many do and donts. Nothing has changed in spite our repeated advices and tiny punishments. His class teacher on the last occasion said that he is very good in his classes but during intervals he goes out and buy snacks and supply it among his friends which is npt acceptable the school behaviour.Eventhough he has been under the treatment of a very famous child pshycologist, nothing has changed.Hence please advise me a suitable alternative.

I have to ask, why is it not accpetable to his school for him to share a snack? Or am I misunderstanding?


My first thought is, he is 14. He is testing the limits, and being a teenager. Its hard.

What kind of 'tiny' punishments are we talking about here?

Your son just doesn't like to study and he's bored in class. That's why he creates problems.

So don't allow him to take any money to school, no money no snacks.

So make the punishment more serious, causing trouble in school is serious and it may appear on first read, you are not taking it seroius, thus he does not

It does not sound series too me. If he behaves most of the time and the only issue is he buys snack for the buddies what is the problem. Why is he seeing a psychologist? Is there anything else going on? I do not quite get the issue here.

I don't get the issue here either. At least the little guy knows how to share things, that can only be a good thing really. Although I understand if its breaking school rules, the teacher needs to take him to one side and talk to him as well as you.

I agree something more going off here if he's seeing a Psychologist, a famous one?

I wonder if he is ever going to come back and answer our questions...

I hope this kid is safe...

By supply, do you mean sell? I remember people doing it at my school. The teachers never seemed to like it.

Hello:

Yeah, he buys a bag of chips. Then puts the chips in smaller bags that he sells for a nickel. He stands in the back hallways with a hoodie, always on the lookout for teachers. When kids pass by, he whispers, "nickel bags a chips - get your chip fix here".

Why don't you come back and fill us in more. I don't hardly see any problem here just like the others have said. He just seems to be acting like a normal kid. Be lucky that's all he is doing. Or is there more that you have not told us. How are his grades? Maybe he is trying to show off for a girl or a group of people he wants to look cool to.

I think she means leaving the school grounds to go to a shop and buy snacks.
Most schools do not allow you to leave school grounds even at lunch time.

Who knows what she means. She did not come back to explain so we can all sit here and guess. My guess is this person is not coming back.

Post and run syndrome.

Very true, sorry I admit, I didn't check the date :o

I hate it when this happens. :( it makes me fearfull for this child. The way the parent said 'tiny punishments' really set off red flags for me! But I will probably never know.


Also, from the way the poster wrote, it sounds like he/she does not speak english well, which suggests that cultural issues may come into play here.

Talk to your son about the importance of studying and behaving in school. Tell him that if he does well, he will be accepted in college and have a wonderful future. And if he continues misbehaving, he would fail and work in McDonalds. Tell him in a way that wouldn't seem like you're trying to scare him or promice bad things. It might work.
