(AP) — A woman who took her sixth-grade son out of an Ada elementary school because of how he was punished says she's ready to take him back to classes. Amy Caton says her 12-year-old son Jonathan was told to stand facing the brick school building at Willard Grade Center during recess on Oct. 20. The punishment was for failing to turn in a homework assignment. Caton calls the punishment humiliating and disgusting and says neither she nor her son were given an alternative until she raised questions. She says she was assured Tuesday the policy will be re-evaluated. School Principal Kevin Mann could not be reached for comment. Ada Superintendent Pat Harrison said Monday the policy had not been questioned before. Harrison could not be reached for comment after Tuesday's meeting with Caton. ___ Information from: The Oklahoman, http://www.newsok.com
