Public School Official enforces school policy a little too far,

So I came across this article posted back in 2005. During lunch break a student by the name of Kevin Francois was taking to his mom on the phone. A school official demanded him to get of the phone, Kevin refused and resulted in the teacher physically taking the phone away (disconnecting the call). Kevin got really upset and started using profanity, concluding to being suspended for 10 days. The Kick out of this story is that Kevin Francois's Mother, Sgt. 1st Class Monique Bates was calling from Iraq. Ahhhhh doesn't that suck! Whats even more disturbing about that is not only has his mom been there since January but Kevin's father died. Whats pretty crazy is that the teacher was definitely 'DTM=Doin` too much' I mean seriously "cell phones" and electronic devices are prohibited in most schools. Although the enforcement of this policy is usually lenient when students are on break, but it is strictly implemented during class time. Now if the kid is on break it shouldn't matter in my opinion and the teacher definitely had no right in touching the students property in the first place! In my opinion Kevin shouldn't have been suspended!!Wow and especially not for 10 days.
what do you bloggers think about this?
