That is distasteful and to think people are telling me this is a very good high school! I hope there is more to the story than what people know!

This school may be a wonderful place but the principal should get an "applesauce" award for the cell phone incident. If she were in Iraq and had a chance to call and speak with her child, she might could understand. Maybe she doesn't have children.
Maybe if this is a daily or even weekly occurence I could understand the suspension but, come on. This is ridiculous.

After this school punished a student for taking a call from his father in Iraq on his cell phone, I'm so very disgusted. This school is a disappointment to the state of Texas, it's students, and the troops in Iraq!
