Tough love is needed to cure the problem

As a mother I am deeply concerned after reading your article “Court challenge to Ashton College ‘no drugs’ policy” (Courier, October 16).

The mother is so very concerned that her son is being treated unfairly and again the old boring “race” card was played. But I ask you, what about disciplining your little monster before he sells drugs to more children? Maybe she only cares about the fact that he was caught out because it placed her in an embarrassing situation, and not that he was “high” at school.

I don’t think the mother has to be too concerned about him being at a disadvantage whilst homeschooled, as he is well on his way to destroying his future himself.

I say that the parents of Ashton should stand together and refuse this boy back in school. If a 16-year-old little boy wants to act like a man, then he needs to take his punishment like a man, not hide behind his mommy’s skirt.

To the mother I say: Sies on you, it is called tough love, and you should be embarrassed for handling it like this!
