And yes, the parents set him up. They had to have some idea that that would happen, and they did not work with him adequately ahead of time to ensure that it did not.
where I teach, the child would have either put his mask back on, or been moved to our very pleasant quarantine while waiting for your parents room where he would be supervised Until his parents came to get him. Meanwhile the director would have had a phone conversation with them that would most likely lead to an in person meeting, and what happened next would have depended on how that went. As far as I know, we have had three students formally expelled and four suspended pending counseling. (One student was unfortunately in both categories - he was a clear danger to others) usually the parting of ways involves parents choosing withdrawal or the director saying basically “we don’t believe our program meets your needs at this time. We will refund the balance of your tuition and we wish you well on your educational journey.” Sometimes there is also an invitation to return if something changes.
