Boy Suspended After Talking To Mom In Iraq

The teacher could have handled this a totaly differant way. I know for a fact that talking to people overseas is limited. You just cant talk to them for hours. At most my calls lasted 15 minutes. The teacher should have sat back, let the boy finish his call and then worked with him afterwards some kind of time frame for the calls. Sure some could argue it would be taking away from the childs education, but how much could the teacher teach him in 15 mintues? Well I guess now the teacher will not be teaching the boy anything for the next 10 days. People just get crazy when they feel there position of power is being taken away, even more so if its a child taking it away.
