Yes-- the school isn't at liberty to discuss punishments, so who's to say there wasn't a history of problems? And no, I don't tend to always trust what parents say. I remember first-hand a boy in my class who picked on me incessantly (worms or pepper in my hair, pushed down into the dirt, etc) and when my mother called to ask his mother for help, she denied her son had done anything of the sort.

That said, if there were no prior missteps, suspension seems pretty ridiculous to me.
