6yr old grandson suspended from school

Yes sir,
best time to teach a kid is when they are young, before they are filled with lies from public education etc.

Teach them young they will never forget. Tell them the truth. Trying to lie and deceive them will only make them confused along their journey in life.

Also Protect them at all cost, remember kids are gifts from God.
How we raise them is the most important thing we do in life.

If you teach them it is fun to work for what they get, they will also grow up to support themselves with very little help.

For the lighter at school deal, that is just proof that the public education system is failing society, He should have got a Lick or two and shown the proper way to handle a lighter with a pack a smokes and to not get caught by the teacher.
Last part might be a joke, but it did happen in the 60-70's when I went to school, and we walked uphill both ways to school, in the snow most of the time.
Take it with a grain of salt.

Let your kid know how silly it is that they sent him home from school for a lighter.
Hard to do, cause he also needs to be able to function in a school that is letting kids down with wishy washy so called discipline that does not know the difference between men and women.

I still enjoy our fewer freedoms and liberties, but they are fading, our kids need leadership and help like never before.

I hope Good People do not sit by and remain silent.
If you do decide to stand against them, Go in pairs or more, do not go alone. Parents need to form small groups, and stick together. I know a lot of Teachers out there who would dearly Love a group of Parents helping to stand against the crap coming down the pipe.

Don't get me wrong, they got the belt a few times and a lot of time outs.
There are times to make it a teaching moment vs discipline.

Pulled out a bic lighter he brought from home and showing off to other kids and set fire to some leaves on the playground. Miniature burn nothing damaged BUT School was not amused and zero toleranced him.
My daughter is on the verge of mommacide with her boys. She had just busted her 12yr old and the 6 yr old both for building a campfire in a firepit at a friend's yard without permission last week. She explained fire ban conditions and the need for permission. Lots of disrespectful back talk and failure to do as told on house manners has been a problem of late. She said if she started hitting them she might lose her cool so she has avoided spanking. She is a great boy's mom but their hooligan attitude has her bent.
I told her to confiscate their BB guns and tell them I saiď being stupid with fire means no guns to have fun with.
She asked me what else. I will be there next week and I will take him to the fire station and let the firemen tell him just how serious it is. I did that with my daughters over candle safety issues in their room when they were young. Scared them good. No more careless candles.
I have had to debride a burned kid who had playing with gas when I worked at St Francis. Burned kids is the worst.
I burned the seat cover of my mom's 1958 Chevy with a magnefying glass out of crackerjax. She was madder than hell and beat me and both of my brother's butts in the grocery store parking lot to make sure it never happened again. No wonder my brothers dont like me...

My wife’s a teacher, so I know schools go way overboard on things that wouldn’t have been a big deal when I was a kid or even when my kids were kids. I’ve had pyromaniac tendencies my whole life, and my cousins and I did some crazy chit growing up but never burn anything serious except one of my cousin’s eyebrows.
I’m also of the opinion that kids today don’t get enough cow leather on @ss cheeks.
@GnometownHero
I’m not Dr Phil and don’t have the qualifications to be handing out parenting advice, but in my unprofessional opinion, your daughter needs to get over her aversion to busting @sses. If she doesn’t get a handle on them now, it’s only going to get worse. Lack of respect is exponentially worse to me than a little pyromania. If they’re disrespecting her, they’re disrespecting their teachers and every other adult they’re around too.

Oh she has whipped the tar out of them before. But she said she has tried to de-escalate the drama in her house because she figured out that she went from parent correcting behavior to insane tyrant too quickly. Her 2 youngest boy's dad is a drug addict who has failed 5 rehab stints and is back in jail now.
She has family counseling weekly and her 12yr old is in an alternative school program because he triggers too easy and is just hitting puberty along with his missing dad issues.
The youngest is a great kid but with so much attention going to his brother's problems he is seeking attention.
She has them on diet restrictions, no junk food and no processed kid food full of sugar & additives and it really does help.
Her public school in Lawrence Ks is a liberal indoctrination sewer.

It's very difficult for a single mom to keep boys that age in line. She has a tough job.

 

[Big House]

If a child does not have bruises, burns, laceration, it's none of business how a parent desiplines their child.

Amen. Having been one of those kids. And mom working sometimes three jobs to keep us housed & fed.

Did you ever figure out why they'd lick their finger then wipe on your head before passing you back to the other parent?

I thought it was a right of passage but nope......

From my experiences, they were getting the lipstick or makeup off of you before letting you go.
Back in my day, there were no wet wipes in a nearby purse. If they wanted to wash your face properly, they’d hang on to you and make someone go get a wet wash cloth. When the wash cloth arrived they’d hold you in a bear hug to wash your face cause they knew you’d run.

We just rocked the coolaide mustache, sweat streaks and no shoes or shirt. We were the kind of kids you saw in the grocery store and turned your cart around. My mom even told us anything we could eat in the store wasn't stealing.

Yes sir.
I would venture to say You have some kids to be proud of.
