I was replaying to a different anecdote. The kid is another casualty of us engineers and managers not doing our job in migrating to IPv6 in the last ~20 years or so. The world IPv6 launch was actually 10 years ago, there was plenty time to migrate. The kid might actually do quite ok as I have suggested in other comments. Really depends on the family and its personality.

Ok, thanks for the clarification What we really should do though is help make clear to the non-tech world what part of what they see in TV is real and fake science IP address is like the hair analysis of 70s / 80s https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hair_analysis https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hair_analysis

> The kid is another casualty of us engineers and managers not doing our job in migrating to IPv6 in the last ~20 years or so. Absolutely wrong. The kid is a victim of an incompetent and unfair school system. > The kid might actually do quite ok as I have suggested in other comments. He might well recover from this serious loss, yes. Will his mother, who was stricken when this happened, recover her health? A cruel injustice is not acceptable just because the victim "might actually do quite OK".

  You are completely right of course. Even if the victim was ok and doing quite alright, the injustice doesn't disappear. I tried to suggest, the punishment of 3 months of no school might be perceived as pseudo-punishment (or maybe even a liberation?) under such circumstance as a nearly abusive school administration. Of course, we will never see the full picture. I can imagine, having a kid at home puts more stress on the parents that otherwise might rely on the school for something approaching day care/ basically "storage" for human beings. I find just the thought of something like this distasteful but that might be the reality in many families.
