As I told my students back when I was teaching, they were free to do anything they wanted in my classroom... including breaking the rules... as long as they were willing to accept the consequences. Charley was being disobedient (and likely not polite about it, given the age)... but he apparently was wiling to take the consequences for his stand. That’s making a good young adult - something schools generally are not adept at doing these days.
