Student suspended for talking to Mom serving in Iraq

Another example why our public education system sucks.

A teenage student was using his cell phone to talk to his mom serving in the military in Iraq during his lunch break. School policy prohibits cell phone use during school. So a teacher interrupted the conversation, took away his cell phone and escorted the kid to the principle's office. Supposely then the kid became upset and defiant and start cursing at the teacher and school administrators. The school has suspended the poor kid for 10 days.

Stupid public schools... You think you're teaching our kids but you're not teaching them shit with your rigid rules and policies and useless testing. Sad.

I wish the government would provide tuition assistance programs to less fortunate families who wish to send their children to private schools instead of being forced to let their kids suffer in public schools due to a lack of choice.
