I don’t give a fuck if the pope is calling - that is inexcusable in class. Fuck that, schools are finding more and more STUPID fucking reasons to suspend students and thats just ridiculous, his father is in Iraq…hasn’t seen his son in months…and probably has a much higher chance of dying over there than from some random act of violence over here…and he gets suspended for answering his fathers call?! I’m sorry but direct family such as parents over-rule stupid school officials in my opinion…all he had to do was tell the kid to go in the hallway and talk. ---

suspend the kid. and then the kid can talk to his dad more. zero tollerence. where do you start letting people answer phones? mom’s sick moms not gonna beable to pick you up from school, mom said hi, mom was just calling to tell you that you forgot your lunch money… kid shouldnt have a phone on in school PERIOD. remember "zero tollerence = zero Intelligence but the kid shouldnt have the phone on in the first place. i use to take about 3 phones a week off of students in west mifflin middle school when i student taught. the dad should know better then to call him during those hours. (i know he cant choose when to call but he can choose who to call) kid deserves it and so does the dad ---
