Parent in this case is doing right by trying to get his habit stopped, but the school have to uphold their rules or there would be chaos.

She has been silly to go so public with it, as often happens.

It's sad isn't it when a parent makes such a fuss and slates the school and its staff. I think they should be asked to leave the school on the basis that the relationship isn't right for her and her son unless he apologises and goes in the paper again to say she was wrong

[Baldric]

Could have been worse, at least he doesn't have a Leopard Print Haircut!



and NO, he should not have had it at school!

Most schools have rules which should be followed. If parents don't like these rules or don't agree with them, they have the choice to remove their children. 15 minutes of fame springs to mind.

A 14 year-old ADDICTED to smoking? That sounds ludicrous to me, but then again I've never smoked

[ummmm]

It's about the age most teenagers start.

Photograph of two miserable looking individuals and the modern scenario........no sign of a father.

He either obeys the school rules or he is expelled.......simple.

[bednobs]

how is a 14 year old funding a £30 a week habit?

[ummmm]

He might have a job. You never know.

[bazwillrun]

Just out of interest...

Do the parents have to sign a form or whatever "I have read the schools rules and regs and agree to abide by them"...or something along those lines...

[ummmm]

Sqad...where do you expect the father to be?

[ummmm]

Baz - Yes...and the student has to sign it as well.

[Mamyalynne]

This is where his father is.......

//Mason had started smoking at the age of 12 following the death of his father.//

[Sqad]

LOL...ummmm/ mamy........yes....my mistake.

[Sammy48]

She could try him with Nicorite gum first.

[Mamyalynne]

Let's hope they take up the school's offer to help him with this.

[EDDIE51]

There was a survey on AB a while back and every smoker said they started at age 12 to 15. Which is why I think trying to stop smoking in adults is a lost cause most of the time better to stop kids from starting.

[B00]

Where is (was?) he buying his fags from?

Perhaps that should be a concern too!

[TWR]

The school is right, they are there to teach.
