The way I see it, when you sent the kid to the principal,
you turned the decision over to the administrator regarding
how this problem should be dealt with. In other words, how
much or how little punishment the student gets is the
administrator's decision. You are no longer in a position
to add more punishment to what the administrator gave the
kid unless you are first willing to challenge your
administrator's decision and get administrative approval to
add to the punishment. If you do not follow this route, and
the kid files a formal complaint, the administrator may
cover his behind by writing you up for insuborination.
