I'm a in school suspension teacher. If I was the parent of this child, he wouldn't be able to sit down for a while. Respect is taught and starts from home. If your child comes to school being disrepectfull like he did he should have to apologize to the teacher and serve his time. If it was only the phone being taken away I can see him serving his time at school with no phone for a week. But, because he cursed (even if not at the teacher) he should also be in trouble at home for using that kind of language. You may let your children use that kind of language at home but at school something you just don't do. You need to be teaching your child that there is a time and place for everything and school was just not the place to do that. You as a parent need to pick and chose the battles your willing to help your child fight. This isn't one of them. He did wrong plan and simple.

In my class on the walls I have quotes from all walks of life. One of those quotes say... The biggest problem I see today is the increased amount of parents who do not hold nor do they want anyone else to hold their children accountable for breaking the rules. Author Unknown
