refusing to apologise

Just preempting what I think might happen and asking for your comments.

I have a feeling that I may be called into school because one of my son's tutors overheard my son say to his lsa that he doesn't like his tutor because he cannot teach.

The tutor overheard and has demanded an  apology.  My son has refused to do so.

His aspieness has kicked in I think, as telling the truth, despite who it hurts, is the logical thing to do in his mind.

Just not sure how I get this across to his tutor.  If he does apologise, it will not be heartfelt and it somehow feels wrong to force my son to apologise when we  all know it is false, and will no doubt turn my son even more against this tutor.

Has anyone else been through this and / or have suggestions?

  • Quick update for those interested. My son told me this morning that he has to write an apology email to his teacher today.  What I am shocked by is that the order came from the director of Sen at his school.

    He said to me this morning that he could not understand why he has to apologize when what he says is true. 

    I will be raising this with the school later today, although I know the tutors look out for each other's backs.
