My son was deprived of lunch at school as a form of discipline. He was also humiliated by being made to stand during the lunch break.
He is in 4th grade, quiet, obedient and never gets in trouble ...he has been singled out over the years for GOOD behavior.
The lunch aide in his cafeteria has been making the students refrain from speaking entirely during the lunch break.
My son has been telling me at various times when he comes home from school that some children in a younger grade are being noisy which was the precursor to a no-talking rule.
Today again they were told to be quiet. My son complied. A friend whispered in his ear asking to play rock-paper-scissors which they did without speaking
He was told no one could speak, but was not told playing such a game (in silence) was forbidden, so he broke no rules. Knowing his character and thst he takes everything literally, I am certain he was Not being spiteful and acting innocently.
My son and his friend were told promptly to pack up their lunches and stand. He was not allowed to eat any of his lunch at all today.
I wrote an email to the principal tonight and said I'd be calling tomorrow.
Is this even legal?
Thanks.
