By appropriate action, I mean they suspend the student.   Go figure….

MUSTANG, Okla. — A teacher’s nap in class  ended up becoming a rude awakening for a student.   Mustang Public Schools officials said a ninth-grader snapped a photo of a  snoozing substitute teacher with a cellphone last Friday at Mustang Mid-High School.

The student was later suspended.  The move is not sitting well with some  parents.  “If anything, they should have been reprimanded for having a phone, but  they probably took it to an extreme because they caught a teacher doing  something they weren’t supposed to be doing,” parent Steven Graulich said.

District officials said they won’t discuss potential disciplinary action  against any student or staff member.   However, officials said, “A student may possess a telecommunication  device while on school premises, but the use of a telecommunication device is  not permitted during the school day.”

Graulich said he agrees with the police but “maybe that was the only way  to prove the teacher was sleeping. If the teacher was sleeping, then the school  needs to investigate that.”  (read more)

Heh, if the kid had a camera it would have been ok, but because it was a camera-phone a suspension is warranted?   Progressive logic….
