Is it appropriate for a 6th grader to write an apology note?

Question

My 6th grader acted out and was disrespectful to his teacher. Should I make him write an apology note or just apologize?

Answer

Both

Answer

I wouldn't make him apologize at all 🤷🏻‍♀️ no one should be MADE to apologize. But if he's actually sorry then a simple "I'm sorry" works just fine. No need for a note or anything fancy.

Answer

If it were my kid I would just have them walk in there and take blame for what they did and apologize and tell them it won’t happen again, from what your saying it doesn’t seem like it was anything so bad so I don’t think a note and all that is necessary, young kids act out towards teachers and friends encourage it and they get caught up in it, I think just communicating with the teacher is just fine
