5 teens caught drinking on school roof

My son is 14 years old...One day he decided he was going to hang out with some kids... turns out that they had alcohol...well he decided that he was going to join in and got very drunk...he went to the nurses department. I had to take him to the hospital (he was that bad) Well all the shool has to offer him is to send him to alternative school. I dont think this is correct a kid that has never gotten in trouble at school always goes straight home likes to stay home. So I am fighting the school to keep him were he is now in sack send him to counceling see whats going on. I want them to look into what happened in school...well in two days they said they looked into it and they are going to go ahead and send him to alternative school...I think this is the easy way for the school not to do anything ...they need to find out whats going on before something else happends.

well kids will be kids!
