Consequences...

My older son has lost his computer and television privileges for the next month. He decided to take some short cuts with his school work and was caught in the process. What is hard with children today is that they still can find ways to access the web using different technologies. I forgot my son could access the web via his cell phone and e-reader until he asked me if he could track down a vlc download. He saw nothing wrong with this because he wasn't using the computer nor on the television. Apparently I wasn't specific enough and should have stated that his internet privileges had been suspended. He is a very literal child and told my statements for what they were and decided to work within those parameters.
