If I may, have you ever taken a phone call at work from a family or friend?

if they want to help the country so much, why is it that on TV I always see them crying and complaining about being at war? they joined because they wanted easy money and got put to work. That's bush for you, he builds up the military, pays these kids to shoot innocent iraqis and that's where the money is a waste.

I'm sure the soldiers will gladly come home to do that as long as you keep your job flippin burgers, don't move out of your mommy & daddy's house, make sure your Star Wars collection is up to date, and you finally throw away that sticky picture of Princess Leia you have to keep by the bedside!
Personal attacks are not welcome here rcwj75. Read the TOS. deny ignorace friend. I will now report your post to the mods.

Bloodcircle, let's not make this thread about me (Stay on topic). Ok? If you disagree, there's an ignore button somewhere down the line on your profile. Thanks.

So, you dont support the troops....and rules are rules. Have a little sympathy for a child who probably hasnt seen their father in a year...and said he was going through a very hard time.
if he called during school hours here, it'd say it was 3 am in Iraq. And why should I support the troops if I don't support the war. Sorry greeneyed. But I don't support any level of the war, that includes the troop and his family. They are getting paid by the government to kill and all the money from our taxes go to them. but that's not the topic. it's about no cellphones in class, common sense nowadays.

If his "dad" wasn't "at war" he would have 2 parents. Hows that for a solution?
Like i said . Give an inch and a mile you will lose. If its ok for this kid then it becomes ok for everyone . Will you have to prove there in Iraq? If so how?
What do we do to confirm there not talking to there g/f or anyone else. Or ordering some dope in 3rd hour?
Screw teaching they can just be phone operators for the soldiers. Isn't teaching hard enough without having to regulate cell phones too?
"Hey my dealers in Iraq"

There's people here arguing with a sociofascist. Wasted keystrokes.
Just like all the other insane reports to come from schools, this is the result of a zero-tolerance policy. Children are being conditioned to believe that under no circumstances do they disobey their government masters or disrespect their "authority."
If you have kids and you value their individuality, get them OUT of public schools.
