A Father’s Tough Decision: Discipline or Damage?

As the tale of this distressed dad unfolds, we see a man driven to his wits’ end by his son’s rebellious behavior. Despite numerous attempts at discipline, the son’s actions remain unchanged, leading the father to revoke his son’s choice of high school as a last resort. The decision, however, has caused a rift in the family, with the mother believing the father is being too harsh. The father, on the other hand, is adamant that his son must learn the consequences of his actions. But as the silent treatment from his wife persists, the father begins to question his decision.
