Go sit on a tack. This kid only hears from his mom once a month and has no control over when she can call. The teacher just forced him off the phone without letting him explain.

Do you think "Go sit on a tack" is civil discourse or a good debating tactic?

If the kid had been following the rules and had his phone turned off, this wouldn't have happened.

Yes, he is a horrible boy for loving his mom more than a school rule.

String him up. /sarcasm

I am sure you aware that the school typically grants exceptions for students who have family members in Iraq. But, not for this kid. Felicita had it out for him for some reason.
