In my day you got a detention on the same day no phone call letter to your parents. how times have changed

I only find out when I sign DS's planner. I would never tell my parents.

Certainly not, not even when the Home Economics teacher locked me in a cupboard for being cheeky.
My dad would've gone storming up to the school and threatened whichever member of staff had punished me with extreme violence, which would have been most embarassing

No, I even had to beg her NOT to write a letter into school as id been forging notes from the end of first year

The trick to forging notes is, to forge the signature on the card that goes in your file. Then you can keep forging the signature the same way, for the whole year.

After I finished high school, Dad tried to get me to forge Mom's signature on some paperwork (it was either a joke or laziness, not serious forgery). I had to explain that his signature was the one I did, not Mom's.
