I woudn't be so quick to celebrate his inability to control himself. Instead, I would make him work during his suspension and if I didn't have any work for him to do around the house, I might do like this fella:
Hard Labor: Son suspended from school needs to learn
Hard Labor: Son suspended from school needs to learn the value of hard work.
Have some yard work that needs to be done?
Got some boxes that need moving?
Have a stack of bricks that for no reason need to be moved from one side of your yard to the other (1 at a time, of course)?
He's available October 6th and 7th from 7:00 a.m. to 3:30 p.m.
I'll be happy to bring him to your location.
His suspension should by no means be a vacation, and if i don't find someone who needs some hard labor performed, he'll be sitting at home flipping through the channels and eating us out of house and home.
Pay is not necessary, as he is paying his debt to his parents and the school.
serious inquiries only, please.
