If I was in this kid's place, and my mom called from Iraq and the teacher started ripping the phone out of my hand, I can guarantee a few choice words would come out of my mouth too.
If you notice the comments from the school board members; 90% of them don't give a rat's ass that the kid's mom is even in Iraq.
Kid should just leave campus next time. I'm sure it would result in fewer days suspension.
Love the pic of Wendell and Felicia. Wendell just looks absolutely thrilled to be there.
Being 17, the young man should just say "adios" to the school permanently by dropping out and getting his GED. Frankly, I'd be willing to send him the money for the test if I knew where to send it.
