How could he have told the school when she was going to call when she called him out of the blue? I just read the full article and it says he wasn't expecting her call. Even if it wasn't said in the original post here, the kid didn't need to tell the school when his mom would call. The school is well aware that his mom's overseas, fighting in the war, they shouldn't have to have a set time for students to talk to their parents. Especially since their parents can die at any time, so why schedule a call time when you don't know if you're going to come back alive.

I'm not trying to sound critical here, but the point is, when a war is involved, you never know if someone will make it back alive or not. In this day and age when kids have cell phones, parents that are fighting in the war can call their kids up when they find the free time to do so. Something they don't have when their over there. It's not just 1 or 2 people that want to call home, it's all the thousands of troops that are stationed there that want to call home and talk to their families. Which means the wait time to use a phone is even longer. You call when you can, it's not something you can schedule, like you can when you work in an office or something.

It's a rented tux ok? I'm not going comando in another man's fatigues.
