<p>I agree with Cobrat. We don’t know the full story here. (And regardless, his behavior was atrocious.)</p>
<p>What we do know though, is that this is a kid who is disrespectful and his mother is proud of it! He made a show of himself, interupted a class and cursed at a teacher and this is something to applaud? What has happened to our society? </p>
<p>Yes, children should be encouraged to talk about their school problems… with their parents, teachers and counselors in a calm manner. His actions are not to be applauded. </p>
<p>With all of the violence that is going on in schools these days, if I were a teacher in that situation, I would be fearful. </p>
<p>All I can say is that if my sons acted in such a manner, proud would be the last word I would use to describe my feelings.</p>
