Good! He sounds like a trouble maker and now won't be disrupting the education of other decent children.

Which adults? And why were they at the school? Staff/teachers?

What happened to the 3 other pupils?

I think you really need to accept the possibility that your son has more than likely provoked a lot of the treatment he has received and that is something you should address.

Although, I'm still not convinced that things happened the way he says they did. Children are known to exaggerate and it is entirely possible that the teacher tried to take control by grabbing his shoulder, close to the neck and this has now been turned into 'grabbed by the throat'. And yes, it is also very likely that his friends would also agree with him, whether it's true or not.

Please, for everyone's sake, try to take a step back and view this more objectively.

Couldn't you send your son to another school? I'm sure the Chatsworth estate has more schools in its catchment area.

A 'naughty school' is likely to be an EBD (Educational and Behavioural Difficulties) special school. To get there a child needs a statement which requires input from outside agencies especially an Educational Psychologist. Another possibility is it's referring to whatever provision the LEA make in that area for excluded pupils. I suppose it could be a provision made by the school and within the school for disruptive pupils.
I've never heard any teacher or head use the expression. It seems a strange one to use in a secondary school.

I'm glad the teacher has been suspended. I do youth work and I have been involved with allegations (some false) made by young people - our policy is that if an allegation is made against a staff member, they are immediately suspended until the matter is resolved. This is for everyone's protection. I don't know about school policies, but I would have thought this would be the correct procedure - at the end of the day is is a child protection issue. Unless the teacher was in real physical danger, there is absolutely NO justification for assaulting a child.

Would you, in your youth work role, also suspend the pupil in such a situation, for everyone's protection, until the matter is resolved?

I think we all know what a 'naughty school' is, but are more interested in who referred to it as such. It's not a phrase you would expect a head teacher to use and not something that you would expect a head to threaten an unruly pupil with unless there is a background to warrant such measures.

Dear lord who would be a teacher these days?
I take it your son has a social worker?

Unless it is an issue of health and safety, responsible adults should not manhandle children. Even one's we are fed up with.:o

OP your son is understandably pushing the boundaries of authority as a part of 'growing up'.....but as a parent we need to help our offspring recognise that there are reasonable limits, and following instructions (even if the reason is not immediately clear to us) from figures of authority is usually wise and for the greater good.

If he fails to learn this how will he cope with work, civil responsibilities, being a good neighbour.

I think there are lessons in this for all sides - but OP your motherly desire to protect your chick should also ensure you look after his future not just this moment.
