Apparently, he was having the students work on questions before they could start their homework. SJ answered one question incorrectly and one that he wasn't supposed to do.
When he asked SJ to redo the question, SJ became angry and attempted to grab the pencil, which he was using to change something on SJ's paper, out of Mr. London's hand.
He told him he had to let go of the pencil and go to his seat. When he got to his seat, he told SJ that he had to write me a note telling me what he did in class. I had to sign it and he had to return it to Mr. London the following day.
This was all a surprise to me. SJ hadn't said a word to me about any trouble at school. He was already asleep, so I checked his binder for the note.
It was in there (at least he partially listened to Mr. London). I talked to my husband about the incident.
When SJ awoke the next day, I told him about the email. "Oh, I forgot to tell you Mom," he said. "Well, you are going to have a consequence," I told him. I told him that he is never to argue with a teacher and he is especially never allowed to try to take things out of their hands.
I made him write an apology note to Mr. London. I also signed the note that was to be returned. Then, I told SJ his consequence. It was no electronics for 24 hours. He was upset, but I reminded him that every action has a reaction. This is his current currency. Hopefully, he will learn from this and not do this again.
