Maybe you think the school should just ignore it, let it go since it's not the kids fault, right? Or maybe you think they should just expel him, maybe that would actually help the kid. Na, free-for all for everyone, let's just ignore the problem since they can't do anything to the parents. Good plan.
Ignore the problem or punish the kid, who can't control his mother getting the car started any more than you or I.
Two bad solutions to the problem.
You, for want of someone to focus the ire of the greatly offended state school system on, will bring more humiliation down on a kid who is already likely humiliated just by being the focus of attention for being late.
But you are right about one thing. It is indeed a life lesson. There are people in this world who will take out their anger on anyone available, whether they cause the problem or not, whether they can implement a solution or not.
Yep. It's good to find out at an early age that not only does everyone have one, some people are one.
