What is the best disciplinary action to be taken against a 14 yr old that was expelled from school?

Question

And has now been suspended 3 times from alternative school and is being held financially responsible for damaging the school air conditioner by throwing a book across the room?

Answer 1

You can put him in boot camp or send him to alternative school. He needs to go to anger management as well.

Answer 2

Counseling and anger management therapy. There's obviously something seriously wrong here. You might also consider family therapy, since your family is obviously under some strain from her actions.

In the meantime - she has privileges. Take them away. No TV (particularly not in her bedroom!) or videogames. No allowance - that goes straight to repaying the damages to the school AC. No trips to the mall. No hanging out with her friends unless you're right there with her - and you're sure that they aren't part of the problem. No talking for hours on the phone with her friends. No cellphone of her own, if she has one.

Don't lock her up completely, but make sure that the only time she leaves the house is when you or another responsible adult is with her. (I'd suggest taking her to the library on a regular basis - if she's bored enough, she might start reading and that will help settle her down a bit.)

The only excuse for that kind of behavior is a mental illness, and if she doesn't have one, then there needs to be consequences for her actions. If she's this out-of-control now, how bad do you think she'll be when she's 18?

Answer 3

difficult one Joan..... i don't think of so, my reason is this. The police are at the moment replacing the way proceedings and disciplines are dealt with. those officials(who were at abode), were dealt with by ability of civil courts. The crime does no longer contain any dishonesty offences which the police will fireplace officials for. There will be no ideal punishment interior their interest to manage. I actually have animals and am completely hostile to animal cruelty, yet i imagine hence, no reliable will come from pursuing this any further. I imagine everyone the position they stay knows what they have finished and there lives are depressing to that end(rightly so).

Answer 4

Take away everything that he like such as cell phone, t.v., computer. Boot camp is not a bad idea. But you need to stop this behavior before he does something that he will regret the rest of his life! Counseling may help also

Answer 5

Home School him!!!! One of his classes can be the work he needs to do in order to pay for the school air conditioner. Tell him the only way out of home schooling is good grades and exemplary behavior.

Answer 6

make him get a job to pay for the damage he did. mowing lawns, raking leaves, painting fences...anything.
Let him know without an education he isnt going to get squat in life.......

no TV, No Cell Phone, NO comp. take away all privledges even privacy until he behaves and can be trusted.

Answer 7

well when i got in trouble 4 fightin my dad made me spend time workin ... in the case of having to fix the AC I think that would be great make ur child work off the damages plus intest and really make them see where they went wrong like sendin them to a bootcamp over summer vaction so they dont get to enjoy their freedom

Answer 8

Military school. It doesn't sound like you can do anything more for him. He may hate it, but in the long run he will be so much better off and believe me, he will come to appreciate it in years to come!

Answer 9

take away things they like, find a church or charity that they can do things for to keep busy while out of school. help around the house, neighbors may need help at home. good luck.

Answer 10

take away everything fun and ground him (or her?) for a long long time.. no video games, no seeing friends, no TV, no cell phone, no music, no computer, etc.. don't leave anything in his/her room except books.. after a few months of that, maybe he/she will learn books are for reading not for throwing..
