What is up with Gateway Middle School in Killeen, TX

What is going on with our schools?  A young girl has an asthma attack in class and the Teacher responds by sending an email to the school nurse?

What in the hell are they thinking.  We have a medical emergency in the class room that could be a matter of life and death, the emergency procedure is to send an email and await a response? 

If you think that is the worst part of what this school did, you would sadly be mistaking.

Instead of waiting on the nurse to respond to the email, 15 year old Anthony Ruelas took matters into his own, obviously much more mature than the teacher, hands and picked up the girl and carried her to the nurses office to get help.  The Teacher said he disobeyed her and the boy was suspended.

You can't make this stuff up.  The school actually suspended the boy for helping the girl out!!! 

I guess in this school what they want to teach is, don't help others. 

Schools and Teachers wonder why they get a bad rap.  Why people complain and have no sympathy for them.  It is situations like this that are not that uncommon.  Just like everything, the bad schools and Administrations that make all schools look bad.

This young man should not only have not been suspended, he should have been given an commendation for a job well done.  As for someone being suspended, I believe you need to look at the Teacher and whomever decided the student should be suspended.  The Teacher most definitely needs disciplined and the person making the decision on the Student severely needs disciplined.

I want to say thank you to Anthony Ruelas!!!!  Your actions are the actions that we wish all people had.  You helped someone out in their time of need and that is AWESOME!!!! Thank you, thank you, thank you.
