Laura Hoover is a grandma from Oregon who, like to the majority of other grandparents, has the utmost respect for her grandkids. So, it was not only upsetting to her but also angering when she observed that her grandson was being disciplined unjustly at his primary school.
She went to Facebook to share the photographs she had taken, along with the specifics of the experience that had reduced her to tears.
Laura Hoover said in her social media post that there are instances when her son arrives at school a couple of minutes later than expected. “Yesterday, he was one minute late, and his mama found that they do this as a kind of punishment for him!”
“They make fun of him in front of other pupils in the class! This is the responsibility of the school principal; when his mother went to check on him, she found him sobbing and brought him home for the day.”
After photographs of the child’s punishment went viral on Facebook, the administration at Lincoln Elementary School in Grants Pass, Oregon, where the event took place, decided to amend the school’s tardiness policy.
In addition to the policy getting changed, Hunter, his mother, and his grandmother received an outpouring of support from the outraged online community.
