First of all, even if it was the mother's fault, you don't punish the child. A five year old child does not pick his or her wardrobe. Secondly, if this story is true and the child did in fact walk around the school all day in his underwear, then the teacher needs to lose his/her job. Thirdly, you'd be amazed how many parents do not read the school discipline code that is sent home on the first day of every year and do not sign or return them.
Nah, I'm with the mother on this one. Not completely 100%, but about 90%. Taking legal action on behalf of her son I'd support 100%, though. We wonder why kids love school so much in kindergarten but by 4th grade they hate it. This is a pretty good - if extreme - example why.
