WWYD if your teenager got detention for this?

 I'll admit, I would probably laugh my ass off and think that the detention was silly.

Re: WWYD if your teenager got detention for this?

  • Dalton got detention because he said "that's what she said"...you're kidding me?  Id' give the teacher detention for being stupid.
  • I would be annoyed because I don't think that it was detention worthy, the comment made me laugh.

  • Have a conversation about what is and isn't appropriate talk for school.

    That's not something you would say in a business meeting at work, right?  School is a child's job....they should be taught that etiquette.

    Then I would lock my bedroom door, show Joe and we would laugh our asses off! :)

  • I would LMAO, for real. I would probably add in a "you probably shouldn't say that at school anymore" just to be a parent ;)
  • I'll admit I would just laugh.  I hate when schools give detention for such ridiculous reasons.

  • OMG, this is so going to be my kid some day.

    Two parents, w/out filters, who think inappropriate jokes are hilarious.  My kids are doomed to getting detentions for stuff like this.

    So yeah, we'd LOL and tell him he needs to learn when it's appropriate to make that particular joke.

    Exactly. 

    I certainly wouldn't be mad at him or punish him any further...and we'd all have a good laugh about it together. 

  • I'd say to enjoy the detention, because school isn't the place for vulgar comments like that.

  • I would laugh behind closed doors, for sure.  But, I think that the detention is fine, I wouldn't talk to the teacher about it or anything and I would tell my DC that I hope they learned a lesson from it.  If it happened again, I would reinforce such lesson at home.  It's all fine and good to say those things around your friends, not good to do it in school.  The teacher has better things to do, kwim?

  • Sorry, not appropriate for school. 
  • Lol! I would laugh, that's hilarious!

  • Well, I have a teenager, and I would seriously laugh at a teacher for thinking that was detention worthy. I would still make DS go to detention and just let him know to keep those kind of thoughts to himself.
