Carl,
I do agree with you totally and have went over that with my son when he told me what the teacher said. It's all part of the bad choice he made. He was grounded for a very long time & cried allot. I was glade to see so much remorse for what he had done and not the "oh no, I got caught" attitude. He's very friendly & social and has great friends who I heard him talk to about this and I'm sure he won't make the mistake again.
It seems you have a great talent for communicating your point with people in a very tactful way without attack. Much appreciated. I also really admire your quote at the bottom of your post. Have a great day.
Thanks
