to decide if it was right or wrong to suspend the kid. For instance, did she whisper this or yell it out? Was it in the classroom or at recess? If she was yelling out in the classroom, that falls under 'disrupting learning' and is something kids can be suspended for. Also, was this kid ever in trouble before this? If she was a 'problem child' then she and her parents had probably been warned that her behavior needed to improve.

Reminds me of the time a 1st grader went home and told mom I had thrown his new airplane in the trash. Mom was livid, assuming it was an expensive toy he had just received for his birthday. So she came up to school and went crazy, telling me she was going to sue me. When she finally stopped yelling at me, I pulled the airplane out of the trash and wish I had taken a picture of the look on mom's face when she saw a folded paper airplane.
