| 11. Two day suspension for taking any call during school is excessive |
|
for taking a call from one's father stationed in Iraq, the suspension is an embarassment to that school and an apparent violation of an agreement they made with parents beforehand. if that kid gets suspended for this, then somebody should get fired. the suspension was excessive ergo, the response should be excessive.  |
