Sorry, GD- not with you on this one. These are unusual times, and no one knows what that kid is going through. His mom is in a combat zone, and he didn't want to hang up on her. Kudos to him- most kids his age don't want to talk to their parents. If he reacted inappropriately, then he can take his punishment, but he likely had reason to react the way he did. (Not saying the school gave him a reason, just that life in general, etc, is probably getting to him). I know the school has to maintain order, but what harm would there have been in letting him finish his conversation?
