He should not have had his cell phone on. Pure and simple.
He was suspended for 10 days for disorderly conduct (cursing and being defiant),
NOT cell phone use. The kid never told his teacher that the call was from his
mother. His mother should have called the school first. Further, she should not
be in the service if she has a kid to raise.
Cut the school some slack - this kid is a chronic problem in the school - maybe
if his mom was home instead of Iraq, he might be a better student. Society (and
some of you guys) need to start cutting public schools a break, instead of being
so quick to slam them. What is expected of teachers and schools is truly
impossible, meanwhile, their funding is cut every year. There is no wonder why
they are in trouble.
