[quote=Anonymous]Here's the problem with phones. OP's kid just went through this drama. He call's OP at lunch, sobbing about this and telling her the details because he's embarrassed and got reprimanded by the school adults. But now, OP is (understandably) also upset, worrying about her kid who is sobbing in the bathroom (or whatever) and angry at whoever made him feel this way. So she's ready to call the school and yell at them, before her son is even home. If this had been pre phones, kid would have been at school another 4 hours before coming home and retelling this story. At which point, he would be over it or it would be a bad part of the day which is now in the past. They'd talk about not talking poorly about classmates, then move on. Instead, OP is upset and taking it out on the school, and the school now has to deal with normal kid poor behavior, an angry mom, and a kid who now thinks that by calling mom they will be vindicated. Rinse repeat.[/quote]
