KILLEEN, Texas — A Texas mother is defending her son who was suspended after helping a fellow student who was having an asthma attack.


Anthony Ruelas, 15, said his eighth grade classmate was wheezing and gagging for three minutes Tuesday morning while no one did anything.  But when Anthony did do something, he apparently broke the rules.

“He may not follow instructions all the time, but he does have a great heart,” said Mandy Cortes, Anthony’s mother.

Anthony, who attends Gateway Middle School, an alternative school in the Killeen Independent School District, has been suspended before, but Tuesday was different.

a great heart."

And, indeed, having a good heart may demand that one disobey instructions, or even laws, from time to time.

I learned the hard way that these highly educated, multiple degreed, well paid professional public school teachers and administrators often lack one essential characteristic: common sense.  They know the rule book inside and out, but they don't have a frigging clue about kids.
