a report?

Hello,
I�ve got a question regarding the Spanish expression "poner un parte".
In Spanish High
Schools, when a student has improper behaviour, insults the teacher or
other classmates, or just makes it difficult for the teacher to work
with the rest of the class, "se le pone un parte". This is a kind of
report in which his behaviour is explained and is sent to the Head of
Studies.
How can I say that in English?. Is there something similar in English?
Thanks in advance!

hi,
wait for some native speakers to come up with the answer(s) but I say:
to report a student
to put student on report
to write a student up
hope it helps,
greetings from cold Norway! |

It �s as Jarek stated. In American schools, we �d say "I �m going to write you up." to a student who was badly misbehaving. When speaking with other teachers, we would talk about "writing a report" about/for a certain student �s behavior(s).
(I know the little flag under my username says I �m from Romania, but I �m an American ex-pat teaching abroad). |

I �m a Spanish native speaker and it is more common to say "sacar un parte" instead of "poner un parte" (at least in Colombia). In terms of translation, "give a report" is ok since it has the same connotation and meaning; there must be a closer expresion though that an English native speaker must know better, I suppose. :)
