However, you are the one who says it makes you nervous being on the other side of town from your son the same age.

That's because he goes to high school 'on the other side of town'. Never know when some puffed-up, self-important little tyrant is going to try to separate him from his cell phone while he's reading a text message from Mom during his lunch break. But given his size & physical conditioning, I'm pretty sure that most people with any sense would try finesse & not go grabby.

It used to be that if you were in the military and your kid acted up at school, the brass had a bit of a sit-down with you.

Sure. Teachers were all the time firing off letters to commanders in the war zone & reporting bad school behavior of the children of their subordinates. Uh huh.

In any case, you're chasing your tail. Teachers whine for parental involvement but, apparently, only on their terms. You're defending the teacher who interrupted precious moments of 'parental involvement' and then think that war zone commanders should divert their efforts from trying to win a war & give her a talking to about a situation the school prevented her from participation in by not allowing her son to answer the telephone when she called the second time. Possibly because the school didn't want to hear what she might have to say?

You're a whirlwind of spin.

Good night. The pleasure has been all mine.
