Good call.

Yeah. Sad isn't it? The "big kids" story would have fallen on deaf ears, because it then reverts to a "he said/she said" arguement. It's good that this was on video, because it does show he was defending himself. That was exactly the way he should have handled the situation. I don't think he should have been suspended, but if you look at it from the right point of view, the suspension means nothing but a couple days vacation for standing up for himself. If I was his father, I would have told him that he did the right thing, and to enjoy his vacation. Hell, I'd probably buy him a video game or something, to help him pass the time... and as a reward for doing the right thing.
