If you think kids should be allowed to answer a CELL PHONE in class then your a putz. If there is an emergency the parent can call the school and have the child pulled out of class to talk. End of story. like the rest of the kids in class are emotionally scarred from hearing a cell phone ring and then _gasp_ …watching someone answer the phone, and speak into it! :eek3: I sure hope they got those kids some counselors. I mean, I’m sure that the suspension and media attention and all of the bullshit surrounding this has been FAR less distracting to the kids and teachers and everyone than the actual call itself. --- _[View the full topic](https://forums.speedlife.net/t/kid-suspended-for-answer-fathers-phone-call-during-class/196799)._
