She did put her cell phone away when he asked her to but still told her to report to administration. I remember what it was like to be a child. Adults talk to kids any old kind of way then if they kid so much as raises her eyebrows, she's petulant. Adults want a lot more respect from kids than they are willing to give as if talking to a child like a human being will somehow undermine their authority.
Agreed. I used the word "petulant" to describe how the teacher would have seen her actions, for the reasons you stated.
I should have been clearer that I don't think this child did anything that warranted removal from the classroom, let alone an assault by a police officer.
A Christian told me: if you were saved you cant lose your salvation. you're sealed with the Holy Ghost
I replied: Can I refuse? Because I find the entire concept of vicarious blood sacrifice atonement to be morally abhorrent, the concept of holding flawed creatures permanently accountable for social misbehaviors and thought crimes to be morally abhorrent, and the concept of calling something "free" when it comes with the strings of subjugation and obedience perhaps the most morally abhorrent of all... and that's without even going into the history of justifying genocide, slavery, rape, misogyny, religious intolerance, and suppression of free speech which has been attributed by your own scriptures to your deity. I want a refund. I would burn happily rather than serve the monster you profess to love.
