Hand on heart. Is that threshold higher than when you were going to school. If you were continually suspended from school wouldnt that end in exclusion. I think right of reply is a mute point. If children are getting excluded for one time offenses then that a different pot of soup. If however you child is being suspended more than one time then you as a parent know you've got a problem. Either with the school/ with your child/ or both/ as often is the case. This appeal business to me is too often a way the parent legitamises and shows the child wrong and strong mentality. Now I know they handle our youths differently and have harsher exclusion practices against African youth. But my attitude is if your child is being continually suspened from school there is a problem whcih needs to be addressed. If the school chooses to address it unfairly and not uniform with all pupils then does it really serve any good purpose to have your child re-instated in said school. Horse already escape the paddock.
