Cera Posted October 8, 2009 Share Posted October 8, 2009 I would make him take it back to the camp director and apologize. If he can't take it back (you are far from camp or it is closed) I would make him write a letter of apology and mail it back (paying for the postage).

Jumping In Puddles Posted October 8, 2009 Author Share Posted October 8, 2009 (edited) Archeology Camp is this week and today, after lunch one of the students saw a little piece of pottery on the floor of the classroom by my son's feet and he was beet red. He pulled out the spear head, the camp director was called into the classroom and ds apologized and the camp director said "thank you." His teacher said the punishment is up to us and at school it will take a long time to earn back her trust, blah blah blah. She suggested he not participate in the final day tomorrow where the kids put on a museum of their finds for the parents then they have a Mayan feast. I told her that he will be going tomorrow. I don't think that is a good idea because he can be punished in a different way that won't impact his learning. I just need an appropriate punishment. Does anyone think he really shouldn't participate in the last day tomorrow? (keep in mind I already paid for the week) (BTW, ds goes to a Montessori school in the afternoons for "specials" like spanish, art, piano, architecture, cooking etc. but this week they have archeology camp all day for the whole week, that is why he is going to camp in October!) Thanks for the advice so far. One thing he will be doing is writing the camp director an apology.

thescrappyhomeschooler Posted October 8, 2009 Share Posted October 8, 2009 It seems a little harsh to make him miss the last day. He's returned it, he's remorseful, his parents will punish him, so I don't see why it's the school's business to punish him. And to tell a 6 year old that it will take a long, long time to earn back trust? That's over the top. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And to tell a 6 year old that it will take a long, long time to earn back trust? That's over the top. Agreed. However, in public schools, I have had some kids sit out on certain celebrations they were not entitled to due to misbehavior or rule breaking (like stealing fellow student items or $ from backpacks or my personal classroom items and being caught). Usually, we'd send the student to another classroom during our class party -- and ask for him to join us half way into the party. The child didn't miss the whole thing. But it did send a message that there were consequences (at school) for rules being broken. Out of 15 years teaching in public schools, I only had to do this 3-4 times in the 2-5 grades. Parents were warned about it in advance and all were supportive of the punishment. I only had one parent ask that their child miss the entire party to send a strong message. I did what they asked.

Cera Posted October 8, 2009 Share Posted October 8, 2009 I am assuming it is either the 5 or 6 year old in your sig line. Kids at that age are impulsive and still learning right from wrong, I can completely see my 5 year old doing something like that even though she knows in her head it isn't right. He gave it back, you are going to have him write an apology letter and (I'm assuming) have explained to him why it isn't okay to take things that aren't yours. I hope the teacher can act like an adult and not hold a grudge against him. He is a young child who has learned his lesson and deserves to be forgiven (I would feel differently if he regularly pocketed things but it doesn't sound like that is the case).

I don't necessarily think that tomorrow is a celebration despite the fact that there is a feast (consisting of things that I know ds won't eat anyway) but they are displaying their artifacts and then eating foods that the Mayans would have eaten. It seems like a good, fun way to conclude the class but not really a "party", KWIM? If it was just a party for fun with no educational value then I would agree in this case.

Oh yeah, it's not like real school... you are paying for a service. My example shows for students in an everyday "group" environment of school. And for me, the logical consequence would be to deprive them of the anticipated class party -- which is pure fun and games for the "group" they worked hard for. Not educational -- LOL. :D Try not to let the teacher's actions get to you. There will be good teachers and bad teachers. Sounds like this one needs some discretion with her words.

Edited to add: I just read the other posts, and I do think that the camp director is being overly-harsh. I would not have him miss the last day. He admitted what he did and apologized for it.

Remudamom Posted October 9, 2009 Share Posted October 9, 2009 Our son took an arrowhead from pastor's house when he was about that age. Pastor gave him one, and he took another.

Tam101 Posted October 9, 2009 Share Posted October 9, 2009 I agree about sending the note and she should go to the last day of class! The only thing I would add, if you haven't already, is to have your child tell you in her own words what happened and why. We have done this with each of our kids in the last year. One is 19 and other 7, the situations were very different, but both times we got some valuable information. I'm not suggesting that what the teacher told you is incorrect, but the teacher may not have all the info either. For example, Did someone dare her to take it or did someone else take something and she followed the lead? Don't let her blame obviously, but the lesson could quickly go from don't take what doesn't belong to you to much bigger lesson about personal responsibility and not following when you know it's wrong. It will be hard for a 6-year old to tell you what happened, calmly lead if need be, but try not to suggest what happen. We must have sat in silence for 10 minutes while we waited for our 19-year old to tell us the whole story. *sigh* It's never fun, but it turned out not to be as bad my imagination had lead me to believe either! ;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MBG Posted October 9, 2009 Share Posted October 9, 2009 I would not want my child to miss the last day. I think an apology and returning the item is enough. At home, I wouldn't "punish" but we'd discuss what happened. Let him talk it out. It can be so hard when you really want something to follow the rules and not take it. I imagine many archologists have felt that way after spending countless hours, sweating their bottoms off and finally make a valuable or interesting discovery....but it must stay in the country it is found in. I also feel like there is a lesson in forgiveness. He should go on the last day and be welcomed and forgiven, imo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Earth Angel_79 Posted October 9, 2009 Share Posted October 9, 2009 First :grouphug: I think you have come to the correct conclusions and I think the advice other posters have given is good. Anything beyond the initial apology (which takes a lot for a 6 year old to do....I still remember when I had to apologize to a family for an insult I made to their daughter at that age and I felt like I was going to throw up) and anything you decide as a family (the written apology) is enough. That teacher might not have children...I've always noted I was FULL of advice and ideas on how others should raise their children until I had my own. I also like the below post. I need to remember to do this with my kids more often. Adults always leap to conclusions...more than often we are right, but occassionally not. I think it helps a child to realize what they are really in trouble for too. Several times after scolding my middle son I will ask do you know why you got in trouble and he will say something that is totally not relevent. It makes me realize I need to cool my jets and let him know beforehand what he has done before punishment. Sorry this last part of my post has veered off....:tongue_smilie: I agree about sending the note and she should go to the last day of class!

Thanks for your input. :) Your kids went to Archeology Camp with Geof? :cool: How did they like it? One of the mothers from our old homeschool group has been hosting it at her house for a couple of years. We did West Africa last year, and the kids still talk about it all the time! The group did Greece (at least, I think they chose Greece) this year, but we just couldn't make room in the budget. I think it came down to math books or dig :lol:. For the cost of the program, I sure wouldn't let him miss out on the museum and feast! Besides, putting the museum together is one of the most educational aspects of the whole week.

LibraryLover Posted October 9, 2009 Share Posted October 9, 2009 Oh...little kid motivation in wanting something so cool is not the same as an adult setting out to steal ( & sell) something valuable. Poor little guy. Unless he has shown himself to be a thief, I would say "This is something really amazing. A lot of people wish they could find something as awesome as this. I know you know this is not ours, and we need to return it. I know you wish this was ours, but we both know it's not, which is the reason you have a mommy (parents) to help you understand what is ok and what is not. You know we need to give this back now.
