In a quiet home office, the mom working from home got a surprising voicemail from her 11-year-old son, Preston. He said that he got detention for getting startled by his teacher's really loud voice. Doubting his story, the mom decided to call the teacher and was shocked when what Susan said matched Preston's exactly. They both ended up laughing.
But things got serious when the mom questioned if it was fair to punish Preston for just being scared. The tension rose as the teacher insisted on detention, even mentioning suspension if Preston didn't comply.
Feeling frustrated, the mom stood her ground, saying she'd fight against what seemed like an unfair punishment. The mom didn't want to punish Preston for a normal reaction. After a friend criticized her response, she posted her story on the r/AmItheA**hole subreddit to ask for opinions
