Threatened Detention

Hotel california

Just wondered if anyone can help me deal with a teacher who is threatening my son with detention if he doesn't hand in homework.  A bit of background, my son will only do work that he deems relevant to obtaining his GCSE's, so mock papers and other types of general homework he sees as a waste of his time.  If it is relevant to his GCSE marks he will do the work.  He is very bright so I have no issues with him obtaining the relevant grade to go on and do A levels.  

The problem I have is convincing the teacher that all will turn out okay in the end.  He as I said is threatening detention.  My gut tells me that if he follows through with this threat my son will dig his heels in and either refuse to attend his lessons altogether or if he is forced to go he will refuse to work.  All in all not a win-win for anyone.

If anyone has any ideas on how best to tackle this issue, please get in touch.

  • Many thanks for your input on this matter.  I have sent the article to my sons tutor (thank you Intenseworld) and have arranged a meeting for Monday to discuss ways forward.  I did learn today that despite my son having a statement that requires the school provide him with an LSA in his lessons, the school reallocated his history lsa to someone else without my knowledge and my son did not think to mention it.   I personally don't feel I should have to ask my son every day to find out if he has / has not had an lsa in his lessons, this should be a given.  Quite angry about this.
