It might be that if the student responded in a calm, polite manner and explained his situation that he might have been given some leeway. If, however, his first response was annoyance and vulgarity it is very likely that any reasonableness on the part of the teacher vanished. The student claims that he tried to explain and was not listened to and that he did not use profanity. The school's position is that he was belligerent and threatening therefore his behavior deserved a harsh punishment. Only the people involved know for sure what was said and how it was said.<BR/><BR/>But that is a different subject. Your argument that his cursing is a result of his "incarceraton" and being "commanded to get off the phone" is unsupported.<BR/><BR/>BTW: I agree with your view on "zero tolerance."Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7225373.post-1116255507954260162005-05-16T10:58:00.000-04:002005-05-16T10:58:00.000-04:00Regarding the "poor boy punished for talking to hi...Regarding the "poor boy punished for talking to his ... mother":<BR/><BR/>It might very well be true that he was punished not for talking on the cell phone but for cursing during his interaction with the teacher involved.<BR/><BR/>It might also very well be true that you do not find that cursing from children is a problem.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
