Yes, I am as anti-NEA as anyone but in this case the most likely thing is that 911 had already been notified, the students and teachers knew it, and then a bunch of students took it as a opportunity to wip out their cell phones and call friends, ready to claim they were calling 911 if a teacher confronted them.
Even if this kid was calling 911, I can't see how a lawsuit could move forward if the teacher is accused of stopping the 5th, 10th, or 15th call to 911.
911 recordings and cell phone records should be able to determine if a teacher cut off the first call to 911, so the truth will come out.
We're of the same viewpoint. This would be an ideal place to slap around the NEA knuckleheads and their absurd policies, but in this situation it doesn't make sense. The poor kid died due to food caught in his trachea. Very sad.
