A note from mom was all it took for me to be allowed to nibble some crackers and cheese at my locker between classes. In high school, we weren't permitted to use the bathroom at all between classes. I wasn't a big fan of using those bathrooms at ALL anyhow, and I was in honors classes where the teachers assumed that we were responsible and if we said we needed to go then we actually needed to go and weren't fooling around. But I carried a note from mom anyhow. Oh, and a note that I was allowed to have Advil whenever I wanted.

Wow, your schools had some strict rules!
Personally, I'm happy for the kid that he had a chance to talk to his mom.
