The school phoned me because they wanted to know if they should turn the coach round and return?! They were really worried that my son had a case against them.

I told them, "if you could clip him round the ear, which I know you can't, I would give my wholehearted permission, but please inform my son that he's grounded when he gets home."

And that's the problem in a lot of cases nowadays, you have the parents backing the kids
